Case Study: Schroders prevents email data loss and phishing while boosting security and productivity with Proofpoint

Why Schroders Adopted Tessian 5 Years Ago, And How The Platform Has Evolved Since Then

Schroders is a global asset manager with over 5,500 staff across 35 locations, responsible for £574.4 billion in client assets. Faced with persistent email risks—misdirected messages, accidental data loss, spear phishing and BEC—and the need to support remote working without disrupting productivity, Schroders sought a solution that would bolster training and existing DLP tools.

They deployed Tessian (Guardian, Enforcer, Defender) across roughly 6,500 users to automatically prevent misdirected emails, data exfiltration and inbound threats. The ML-driven platform complements Microsoft DLP, blocks daily data-loss incidents with minimal admin or investigation, keeps false positives low (about 1–2 flags per user per month), and delivers clear ROI while enabling secure, uninterrupted employee workflows.
