Data security - Why Ergo?

  • We're one of only a handful of Becta accredited ICT Infrastructure Services providers - offering technology from best-of-breed suppliers such as BeCrypt and Flagstone
  • With over 20 years experience with the UK public sector, we understand the individual challenges faced in handling sensitive data
  • No "one size fits all "approach - we take the time to understand your regulatory obligations and match the right hardware or software solution to enable compliance
Following the release in June 2008 of "Data Handling Procedures in Government" by order of the Prime Minister, and Becta's own "Keeping data secure, safe and legal" released late in 2008, all public sector bodies from small primary schools to large government departments may have an outline awareness of their obligations regarding data security.
  • Have you appointed a SIRO (Senior Information Risk Officer)?
  • Have you implemented two-factor authentication for all users accessing your restricted data?
  • Do you encrypt all media that contains protected data that is to be removed from the premises?

If the answer to any of these questions is no, then don't worry - we're here to help.

Awareness is one thing, but action is another. Under increasing pressure to streamline costs, improve access to ICT, enable 24/7 access to systems but implement robust security strategies - it's easy to see why some establishments may not quite yet be up to speed.

Ergo can help you. We can:

  • Supply industry leading disk encryption for every laptop, desktop or SecureDesk we ship
  • Work with you on a consultative basis to implement the right audit and event logging systems and processes for your particular requirements
  • Implement the right infrastructure to enable secure, 24/7 remote access to learning gateways or management systems to the required SSL or two-factor authentication standards
  • Act as an independent body, helping your school, college or department to create a full security strategy - encompassing all your obligations in structured, achievable phases

Don't panic

If you're worried your school, college or department is currently at risk then in the first instance speak to your Ergo Account Manager. Don't worry if you don't have an Account Manager, contact our main switchboard who will be happy to make sure you talk to someone that can help you. Alternatively, fill in our online enquiry form.

We can work with you to advise, support and guide where neccessary to make sure you don't make the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
