Case Study: Major Pharmaceutical Company achieves secure, compliant file transfer and rapid automation with Progress MOVEit

Using MOVEit to meet the security and compliance requirements that the pharmaceutical industry demands

A major global pharmaceutical company, growing through acquisitions, faced a fragmented and insecure mix of file-transfer methods — from custom tools and manual FTP to shipping hard drives — that threatened security, regulatory compliance (HIPAA, SOX) and operational integration. The firm needed a centralized, auditable and failover-capable solution to protect clinical trial data, payroll and other sensitive transfers across its worldwide operations.

The company deployed Ipswitch MOVEit in a hybrid model — MOVEit Central Enterprise with PGP & ASx modules for automated, encrypted scheduled transfers and MOVEit Cloud Premium for easy employee and partner exchanges. The implementation delivered FIPS/PGP encryption, SSAE 16 data-center security, complete tamper-evident audit trails and failover, reduced tasks that once took days to five minutes, automated 20 major jobs, enabled rapid ad-hoc transfers, and ensured ongoing compliance as the platform rolls out to thousands of users.
