How One of the Best-Known Financial Services Companies in the World Protects Offices and Personnel Globally
A financial services company knew that the X-ray mail scanners used by their third-party security company could not detect the most common threats faced today.
The company is one of the best-known financial services brands in the world. It operates globally in a sector – Banking – that the Department of Homeland Security considers to be one of the high-risk industries for mail threats.
As always, where there’s money there’s someone trying to figure out a way to get at it, whether by theft, extortion, or other means. And with multiple offices wolrdwide, the potential risks were both internal and external.

The company is one of the best-known financial services brands in the world. It operates globally in a sector – Banking – that the Department of Homeland Security considers to be one of the high-risk industries for mail threats. As always, where there’s money there’s someone trying to figure out a way to get at it, whether by theft, extortion, or other means. And with multiple offices wolrdwide, the potential risks were both internal and external.
The X-ray mail scanners operated off-site by their third-party mail screeners were simply not up to detecting the most common physical threats and hoaxes received in the mail today. In particular, common “white powder” hoaxes and legitimate threats whether drugs, explosives, or dangerous chemical compounds (such as anthrax and ricin) typically go undetected with X-ray scanners. Off-site screening adds logistical complexities and delays in the receipt of mail. And their vendor was not able to protect all of their sites globally.
Solution
The company security personnel knew that they needed to button up security globally. Initially, since millimeter wave imaging is a new technology, they bought two units to test MailSecur. They quickly gained confidence in the MailSecur units and deployed them to nearly two dozen offices worldwide.
With their small profile and safe millimeter wave technology, the MailSecur units could go through customs without delay and be setup in a matter of minutes without the costly permits and licenses required for X-ray scanners. They appreciated that MailSecur is a Designated technology by the Department of Homeland Security under the SAFETY Act.
Outcome
It wasn’t long before the company reported the detection of a major internal incident: 1.5 pounds of cocaine had been sent between offices via inter-office mail. Their third- party mail screeners had scanned the package off-site, found nothing, flagged it as safe, and sent it on to the second office where their internal people using MailSecur spotted the cocaine. This validated their switch to MailSecur: they now had the technology that – unlike X-ray scanners — could detect 21st century threats, and they eliminated the additional cost, delays, and logistical complexity of using an off-site third-party mail screener.
As the company has had to reconfigure and move offices during the COVID pandemic, they have easily moved their MailSecur units to new locations and countries, too.
RaySecur has the solution.
Financial organizations require extreme security measures — which must include mail security.
Currently, mailrooms are the weak link in the security chain. But with MailSecur, you use safe millimeter wave (mmWave) technology to quickly identify packages with potential threats.
Our mmWave scanners have 10× greater sensitivity than the mmWave tech used by the U.S. government in airports.
Safe
mmWave is 100% safe, unlike harmful x-ray scanners.
MailSecur provides superior 3D images with safe mmWave technology.
This eliminates exposing operators to dangerous X-rays. MailSecur operators do not need costly certification.
And sites avoid the need for licensing for radiation management and safety programs.
Scalable
Deploy one solution to protect all branches & locations.
MailSecur is about the size of copier and can be set up on a desktop or table in minutes.
It can easily be moved within your facility or even to other locations.
MailSecur is the only scalable mail screening solution that can easily be deployed across multiple sites and geographies.
Successful
Easily detect powers & liquids, the most common threats.
Using safe mmWave technology, MailSecur is 300× more sensitive than X-rays scanners.
That means the MailSecur detects more and smaller threats than X-ray mail scanners.
Operators can easily detect suspicious liquids and powders shifting inside a package with MailSecur’s real-time video.
