Organisation: Farrant Frost Accountants & Tax Consultants

Industry: Accountants / Tax Consultancy

Client Requirement: Deploy encryption technologies to ensure that all customer data and systems holding customer information are secure and fully comply with the Data Protection Act.

Results: Jenni from Farrant Frost was concerned that her business was compliant with the Data Protection Act. As an accountant, she informed us how vitally important it was that all of her clients details were safe. She requested that we ensure all systems that held personally identifiable data about their clients were encrypted using the Government standards.

As a result of their request, Farrant Frost were offered our encryption servicesover a remote connection so that work could commence immediately for them as this was a growing concern.

Farrant Frost are now one of very few accountant firms who encrypt all of their live client data so that if their computer systems were to be stolen, the Information Commissioner would be fully satisfied that no data could be retrieved off the devices. As a result, Jenni now goes home at the end of office hours knowing that even if the systems are stolen, the Information Commissioner won't be knocking on her door and that her clients data is safe.
