When Compliance Can’t Wait, Trust Can’t Either
How a Top 5 Canadian bank rebuilt secure email as a foundation of trust — enforcing mandatory 2FA, meeting bilingual compliance, and moving thousands of users with zero disruption.
Key Points
- Compliance, enforced by design — mandatory 2FA for every external recipient, plus full English and French support to satisfy Quebec Bill 101 & 96, with real-time Splunk SIEM audit readiness built in.
- Cloud-native with true data sovereignty — a flexible AWS-native platform replaced inflexible legacy tools, with FIPS 140-3 validated key management and bring-your-own-key control that keeps the bank in charge of its own keys.
- Seamless integration, unified defense — the platform ran in parallel with the bank’s Proofpoint migration, aligning policies without complex re-engineering.
- Zero-disruption migration — a “Big Bang” cutover preserved the familiar workflows employees already knew, so thousands of users moved with nothing to relearn.
- Proven at scale, under scrutiny — a trusted partnership turned a demanding migration into a clean, compliant, and resilient outcome for one of the world’s most regulated institutions.
