Case Study:

Employee Productivity & Policy Management All in One

Market Context

Companies face increasing threats arising intentionally or accidentally during the normal course of an employee’s work day.

Over 80% of businesses monitor employee activity. The reasons include:

  • Optimizing workplace productivity
  • Protecting from inappropriate material
  • Ensuring data security
  • Preventing unauthorized communications

Customer’s Problem

An Interfocus client is a provider of personal background checks for employers and immunization checks for students. They maintain an extensive database of confidential information on individuals for whom they perform checks, and their systems are closely integrated with law enforcement and healthcare networks. The sensitive nature of the information they process requires them to be compliant with a growing number of regulations including PCI DSS and HIPAA.

As a dynamic company managing a growing business, the client decided to offer their 150+ employee base the opportunity to adopt flexible work schedules including working from home. Supporting a home-based workforce raised two challenges for the client: managing employee productivity in a largely unsupervised setting, and ensuring that the staff observes policies and best practices to avoid risky online behavior that might put the corporate network and the personal information held within it at risk.
