About Kenneth M Barrow
Kenneth M. Barrow is a solicitors’ firm based in Seaham. They specialise in different legal areas, including business & regulatory matters, complex fraud and criminal defence.
The Challenges
After experiencing security issues with their data, Kenneth M. Barrow needed to modernise their IT setup. One of the major concerns for Kenneth M. Barrow was the lack of data backups and the absence for a disaster recovery plan.
Without the proper security measures in place, even sharing data via emails had become a security risk. Outside of the office, the only way to access files was to email themselves a copy of the files they needed or saving it to a portable USB device; both methods of data sharing posed more security risks for the solicitors.
This also caused an issue with remote working. Visiting clients is a vital part of the job or attending court. Not being able to access files on-the-go hinders productivity and again, security.
After detecting serious issues with our previous IT setup, we needed a solution that enabled us to embrace digital modernisation whilst still being fully secure. Staff now have the ability to work around the clock, when it suits them.
The Atlas Cloud Solution
All of Kenneth M. Barrow’s problems could be fixed with one solution: Hosted Desktops. The aim was to modernise their entire IT system by integrating their files, applications and email into one unified platform.
Security updates and patches are put in place and are done on a regular basis to protect staff and customer data. These updates are performed on the server and staff hard drives.
To improve collaboration, productivity and security outside of the office when working remotely, Citrix ShareFile was implemented to help staff share and edit files efficiently, in and out of the office, and to reduce risks of files duplication and data tampering.
With sensitive information being held on the server, we used a secure ISO 27001 accredited server to store all the data and applications in and as Atlas Cloud holding the same accreditation for their own standards of data security and processing.
The main thing is that you can’t beat the safety, security and compliance Atlas offers.
