Case Study: KfW Bankengruppe eliminates hidden metadata risks with WorkShare's Workshare Protect

KfW Bankengruppe - Customer Case Study

KfW Bankengruppe, a major public development bank active for over 50 years, needed to protect the trust of its customers by preventing accidental leaks of confidential information hidden in Office documents (metadata). The challenge was to remove risky data reliably without disrupting employees’ day-to-day workflows and while preserving mutual trust with customers and partners.

KfW adopted Workshare Protect, which integrates seamlessly into Word, Excel and PowerPoint to alert users, display hidden data and cure or block content with one click. Rolled out during a desktop migration to Office 2003, the solution is available to all 4,000 employees, secures document-based communication, eliminates metadata risk, and empowers staff to make informed cleansing decisions with minimal training.
