As a leader in data privacy, Lex Dinamica must maintain the highest security standards. However, their previous solutions were becoming a time-consuming challenge for their distributed team.

Lex Dinamica needed one solution that would replace multiple vendors, simplify security, and empower their team to work safely from anywhere. They found their answer in NordLayer.

The challenge: A fragmented and time-consuming security setup

Before NordLayer, Lex Dinamica’s security infrastructure was a patchwork of three tools. This inefficient approach lacked the centralized control needed to protect a globally distributed team handling sensitive information.

Maintaining a consistent security posture required immense manual labor. The burden was growing, and it started to get in the way of their core work. Moira Carriere, Associate Director at Lex Dinamica, explains that the main challenge was to have the right level of security, given the level of clients they work with.

"Our previous security solutions pulled focus away from our work and slowed down how quickly we responded to certain scenarios. We wanted to operate up to the highest standard possible, which was becoming unmanageable.”

How NordLayer helped Lex Dinamica

The choice was clear from the start. Lex Dynamica's management team already trusted NordLayer based on previous positive experiences. While they evaluated other options, NordLayer stood out for its perfect balance of robust security and a user-friendly design—ideal for a fast-moving, non-technical team.

The implementation was remarkably swift. The fast setup process allowed the entire system to be operational in under an hour. Today, integrating new hires is a seamless part of their onboarding.

"What stood out about Nord layer was not just the features we needed but also the balance of simplicity and security. It felt designed for a very fast-moving team that we are, and it felt like we could implement it without adding any friction."

Benefit 1: Centralized security and peace of mind

Switching to NordLayer unified their scattered security setup into a single, easy-to-manage platform. This delivered immediate peace of mind, ensuring every team member, regardless of their location, could access resources securely without compromising speed.

For a client-facing consultancy where trust is everything, a reliable security backbone is a massive advantage.

"The most important thing is that NordLayer gave us peace of mind. Now our distributed team can access everything securely without slowing them down. And for a client-facing consultancy, this is huge."

This simplicity ensures that security doesn't become a bottleneck, even as the company continues to expand its international team.

"Even when we are growing, NordLayer is super easy to use, or when we have a new hire, it is very straightforward. It's part of our onboarding process, and we don't get many questions about it, honestly."

Results: 120 IT hours saved annually and three tools replaced

After two years with NordLayer, the benefits for Lex Dinamica are clear and measurable:

  • Secured 100% of the team, including employees and third-party collaborators, under one system.

"NordLayer allowed us to consolidate three separate tools into one, and now we save around 120 IT hours each year."

Why NordLayer works for Lex Dinamica

NordLayer is the ideal fit for Lex Dinamica because it delivers robust security without unnecessary complexity. For a dynamic, international firm without a large IT department, managing security from a single control panel is crucial.

Virtual Private Gateway with a server providing a dedicated IP provides secure resource access, and Device Posture Security ensures granular control.

"NordLayer is really simple to use and fast, and it does the job you need it to do without any complications."

Pro cybersecurity tips from Lex Dinamica

Moira Carriere shares these practical security tips for other growing businesses:

  1. Review your setup regularly: “Don't get too comfortable. A security configuration that works for a team of 10 might not suit 50, so you need to be alert to changes”.
  2. Never assume you're fully covered: “There are always unpredictable factors in cybersecurity. Always stay watchful to ensure you remain compliant and protected”.
