Case Study: Hill Dickinson achieves proactive email security and reduced regulatory risk with Proofpoint

Securing Systems Amid Tight Regulation

Hill Dickinson, a leading commercial law firm with 850 employees across the UK, Europe and Asia, faced rising regulatory pressure and stricter client requirements—especially in its healthcare practice where protecting sensitive patient records is critical. The firm needed a way to prevent misdirected emails and other human errors without disrupting everyday work.

Hill Dickinson deployed Tessian firm‑wide with minimal IT involvement; Tessian’s machine‑learning filters (Guardian, Enforcer) and Gateway for mobile provide targeted, low‑false‑positive warnings and policy enforcement. The rollout delivered in‑depth email security visibility for executives, demonstrable avoided breaches, and stronger protection against regulatory, financial and reputational risk while preserving business as usual.
