Protecting PII

Protecting PII with Mimecast

Protecting PII (personally identifiable information) in email communications is a critical part of financial services compliance. Email has become the primary means of communication with colleagues, customers, vendors and partners, and organizations in financial services are obligated to implement secure and effective solutions for protecting PII.

This requirement is made more urgent by the fact that email is the #1 attack vector for hackers seeking to steal PII and other sensitive information. Financial services companies are vulnerable to a wide variety of sophisticated email-borne attacks that are designed to dupe users and to fool even the most discriminating employees. The job of protecting PII is made more complex by strict and evolving regulation, distributed workforces and complex IT environments.

Mimecast can help. With an all-in-one approach to email security, archiving and continuity, Mimecast provides cloud-based services for protecting PII, email systems and users while simplifying management of business email.
