Care UK safeguards company data with Becrypt DISK Protect
Care UK selected Becrypt from a trial of three security providers, to implement its DISK Protect and Enterprise Manager solutions across its laptop estate. Becrypt DISK Protect provides disk encryption and will be rolled out to the company’s entire laptop estate (more than 500 laptops), using Becrypt’s Enterprise Manager’s central management capabilities.
To work along side the NHS it is essential to comply with appropriate legislation for data protection. DISK Protect’s FIPS accreditation has helped Care UK to meet and exceed government data security compliance requirements.
DISK Protect has initially been installed on each machine separately with dual factor authentication using Active Directory. In future it will be rolled out automatically from Becrypt Enterprise Manager with single sign on, in order to make it as transparent to the user as possible.
“The company has grown considerably over recent years, which has meant that our hardware estate has increased considerably and we wanted to implement an enhanced security solution that would safeguard data against accidental loss and theft across the estate,” said Owain Jones, IM&T Project Manager, Care UK. “Becrypt’s solutions enable us to be fully FIPS compliant whilst being easy to use. It also allows us to include PDAs and other hardware platforms.”
“Our partnership with Care UK shows that compliance with government regulations can be done simply and effectively,” said Bernard Parsons, CEO, Becrypt. “For companies like Care UK, it is important for security solutions to fit into existing IT infrastructures whilst being straightforward for employees to use. Becrypt’s solutions are easily scalable and ensure data is protected whilst employees are working remotely.”
