Challenge:
- To catalogue, locate and monitor all of the company's sensitive information (budgets, innovations, client data, suppliers and employee information) and to protect it against theft, leaks or industrial espionage
- To implement a network security system with external management and service usage payment
- To optimise expenditure on technological investments within the organisation

It includes clean email, anti-phishing and Telefonica IP security tools and is managed via its Security Operations Centre (SOC).
Results:
- Cost savings and economies of scale
- Immediate resolution of incidents
- Periodical reports and systematised information to improve decision-making processes
- Sensitive data protected with the highest levels of security
- Meets all security certificates (e.g. HIPAA, SOX, PCI DDS, ISO27001) and Spain's Organic Data Protection Law
