Case Study: North American Drug Store Chain Company achieves flexible data protection with Thales e-Security Vormetric Transparent Encryption

North American Drug Store Chain Company - Customer Case Study

North American Drug Store Chain Company needed to protect large amounts of sensitive patient, financial, and business data across hundreds of retail locations and a large headquarters presence while meeting government and industry requirements. The company also wanted encryption that would not slow down operations or limit future capabilities, and it evaluated options before selecting Thales e-Security’s Vormetric Transparent Encryption.

Thales e-Security implemented Vormetric Transparent Encryption and Vormetric Key Management, starting with a 10-store pilot and then rolling out the solution in batches of 40-50 stores each week. The company reported no noticeable performance degradation, zero negative user feedback, and granular control over who could access specific data elements, while also keeping drive contents secure even when disks were removed from stores.
