Case Study: Your World Recruitment Group stops insider threats and ensures GDPR compliance with Proofpoint

Your World Recruitment Group uses Proofpoint to combat insider threats

Your World Recruitment Group is a global staffing firm that manages large volumes of sensitive candidate and employment data. With high industry turnover, exposure to data exfiltration, and strict GDPR obligations, the company’s five-person IT team struggled to detect and respond to insider threats effectively without scaling resources.

By deploying Proofpoint Insider Threat Management they gained clear, easy-to-use visibility into user activity and data movement—detecting risky behaviors like USB use, copy/paste, and print jobs—and reduced investigations from weeks to one or two days. The solution enabled continuous monitoring, GDPR compliance, and prevention of incidents (fraudulent expense claims, fake candidate accounts, credential sharing) while enforcing policy via in-app reminders, all without adding headcount.
