Pasoo Partners with Global Legal Industry Platform iManage

Fasoo announced on the 11th that it has formed a partnership with iManage, a legal industry platform company.

The partnership, aimed at integrating Fasoo's data security features with iManage, which has established itself as an essential platform for law firms worldwide, is expected to expand Fasoo's data security influence into the overseas legal market.

Headquartered in Chicago, USA, iManage provides a knowledge industry specialized platform used by over 1 million professionals across 4,000 organizations worldwide. It demonstrates leadership in the legal industry, serving 80% of the world's top 100 law firms and 77% of the top 100 law firms in the United States. It is also offered as a cloud-based SaaS (Software as a Service), experiencing continuous growth every year.

The partnership was initiated in the first half of this year when Fasoo secured a famous American law firm, one of the world's largest, as a client and proceeded with the integration of iManage and Fasoo's data security solutions used by that firm. For law firm clients where confidential information security is essential, iManage, which requires strong and reliable data security capabilities, and Fasoo, which is promoting overseas market expansion, aim to maximize synergy through this partnership.

Fasoo has recently continued collaborations with data governance and collaboration platform company Egnyte and the security company Cyber Knight, which is growing in the UAE, accelerating its overseas market penetration.

They will cooperate to integrate the ‘Fasoo Enterprise DRM (FED)’ function into the iManage platform, which supports document and email management and productivity enhancement specialized for the legal industry. FED is a data security solution that automatically encrypts documents from the moment they are created and restricts viewing, editing, printing, etc., according to set permissions.

Encrypted documents cannot be opened without authorization even if leaked, and detailed document usage history is provided to enable tracking and management of usage. It supports various types of documents and applications, including general documents, CAD drawings, and PDFs. When iManage and FED are integrated, the permissions granted in iManage are automatically applied to FED without additional settings. All files are encrypted, and files downloaded from iManage are securely protected by restricting usage according to the permissions granted to the user, regardless of where they are stored or shared.

Gangman Lee, Vice President of Fasoo in charge of overseas business, explained, "iManage is a company with strong influence in the global legal industry, and Fasoo's global competitiveness was recognized due to the need for the highest level of data security capabilities given the characteristics of law firm clients." He added, "Fasoo, which is expanding partnerships with various global leading companies including iManage, plans to broaden its contact points with customers worldwide in multiple ways."
