Financial institutions process enormous volumes of documents from external parties: loan applications, insurance claims, investment research, regulatory filings, and inter-bank communications. Each document represents a potential attack vector, and the consequences of a successful breach—financial loss, regulatory penalties, reputational damage—are severe.

Banks deploy klearis to sanitize all incoming email attachments and files uploaded through customer portals. Insurance companies process claims documents through CDR before they enter claims management systems. Investment firms sanitize research reports and market data feeds. The common thread is protecting critical systems from file-borne threats while maintaining the document workflows that business operations require.

Regulatory compliance adds additional motivation. Financial regulators increasingly expect institutions to demonstrate proactive security controls, not just reactive detection capabilities. CDR provides auditable evidence that every file entering the organization has been sanitized according to policy.
