Challenges Faced

GetirFinans set out with the goal of finding a seamlessly functioning solution that could adapt to its own environment in terms of data security. The existing infrastructure required a solution that would not only provide comprehensive data protection but also operate efficiently in terms of performance. There was a need for a data loss prevention (DLP) approach that could integrate smoothly with existing systems without compromising the user experience. The challenge was twofold: first, ensuring effective protection of sensitive data at endpoints; and second, implementing a solution that could remain flexible and scalable as the company continued to grow.

Implemented Solutions

To overcome these challenges, GetirFinans evaluated multiple solutions before choosing Fortra DLP (previously known as Digital Guardian). The advanced protection capabilities of Fortra DLP, its support for layered and flexible policy creation, kernel-level operation, and ability to monitor network traffic with unique certificates for each user made it an ideal fit for the company’s needs. Additional advantages included ease of agent deployment and the ability to block unauthorized applications.

During the implementation process, the relevant teams worked in close collaboration to ensure a swift go-live of the DLP solution and successful integration with other ecosystem tools. Comprehensive training was provided, and the system was configured with a user-friendly approach.

Key Achievements

Through the implementation of Fortra DLP, GetirFinans achieved significant gains with its newly adopted data security strategy. Notable improvements were observed particularly within user groups and data protection processes that had previously posed challenges. The smooth deployment of the solution, without major disruptions to the user experience, helped increase the overall acceptance of the security measures.

Strong steps were taken toward the secure processing and storage of data, protection of customer information, and compliance with regulatory requirements. System-level classification rules significantly reduced false positives, ensuring that the company’s critical data was effectively safeguarded.

All these advancements not only enhanced the security of internal operations but also reinforced the organization’s credibility within the industry.

In conclusion, the comprehensive data visibility gained allowed the company to exercise greater control over its critical information assets, paving the way for a more effective data protection strategy.

Murat Aydoğan, Cyber Security Engineering Manager, GetirFinans

At the outset of integrating a data loss prevention (DLP) solution, we were fully aware of how complex such systems could be. With this in mind, we conducted an extensive evaluation process that included proof-of-concept (PoC) trials with six different products.

During the evaluation, our top priorities were ensuring compatibility with internal work habits, avoiding performance degradation on endpoint devices, supporting hybrid and remote work environments, and—most importantly—delivering effective data protection.

The solution we ultimately selected not only met all these criteria successfully but also exceeded our expectations by strengthening our sense of confidence in data security and providing added value beyond initial requirements.
