Case Study: Guild Mortgage achieves cloud-based visibility, threat prevention, and data protection with Zscaler

Why Guild Mortgage Chose Zscaler™ for its Cloud-Based Security Solution

Guild Mortgage, a residential mortgage firm founded in 1960 that grew from 400 to over 4,000 employees and more than 250 offices, needed to scale security quickly as it expanded. The rapid growth exposed gaps in visibility and protection—especially for employees working offsite—and the security team sought a cloud-based solution that could provide SSL inspection, IPS, access control and data loss prevention.

Guild deployed Zscaler Internet Access and Zscaler Private Access, which delivered easy SSL decryption, threat prevention, and DLP capabilities. The platform gave immediate visibility, helped block zero-day and ransomware attacks, exposed widespread phishing, and enabled protection of PCI/PII (including exact data match tracking), allowing the team to move from monitoring to blocking and present clear risk data to leadership.
