Compliance conscious?
Go Desktop 365
In a world awash with surging regulations, IT departments are drowning in a sea of compliance requirements.
With the GDPR now in full swing, the ICO are lining up record fines for companies deemed in breach of data protection regulations.
Find out how a Server-Led approach would keep your company afloat and how Desktop 365 can ensure you’re swimming with the tide, not against it.
The case for a
Server-Led approach
A Server-Led approach to IT infrastructure is inherently more secure than the old fashioned device-led model.
Having a more holistic view of your company’s IT is a great first step towards satisfying demanding compliance requirements.
Time for your servers
to fly the nest?
While hosting your desktop, files and apps on on-prem servers is more secure than storing them on your user’s devices; realistically, the ultimate compliance solution would be to host the same in a highly certified, two tier data centre.
By moving your servers into a hosted environment like this you gain significantly heightened security, greater flexibility and enhanced business continuity.
Replicating the security of a data centre would require a huge investment in both cost and time, consuming company resource for months or even years to get to that level – and that’s excluding maintaining it.
The Desktop 365 difference
Employing Desktop 365 in a private or public data centre brings untold benefits still, but we’ll touch upon a few of our favourites.
Desktop 365 provides a secure Single Sign-On (SSO), enhanced security and control over SaaS applications, and is underpinned by pro-active AI-powered analytics. In short, it wraps your entire network in a secure perimeter.
