Case Study: Foot Anstey achieves daily prevention of misaddressed emails and reduced data-leak risk with Proofpoint

Moving Beyond Rule-Based Systems to Protect Employees

Foot Anstey is a Top 100 UK law firm with over 500 employees across seven locations, known for technical efficiency and client-focused, problem-solving service. The firm’s IT and Risk teams identified a growing risk of sensitive information being accidentally emailed to the wrong recipients and found rule‑based solutions too disruptive for users, so they looked for a smarter alternative.

Foot Anstey deployed Tessian’s machine‑learning email protection to intelligently prevent misaddressed emails. After rollout Tessian provided detailed reports showing caught incidents and email-sending patterns; the solution has stopped multiple potential data leaks every day while keeping user disruption low.
