Challenge
The IT Group began holding data on an e-discovery platform for civil and criminal cases, providing secure access for solicitors and barristers. To do this, they needed to gain the ISO 27001 certification.
Solution
SysGroup gave advice on the process itself and delivered:
- New Cisco networks to support a VMWare HA environment
- Protected by 2 high-availability WatchGuard firewalls with security bundles including
- IPS, Application control, AV Spam, WebBlocker, APT Blocker
Result
The IT Group now has:
- A secure virtual solution to meet ISO 27001 standards
- New e-discovery platform which has generated tens of thousands in additional annual income
- Comprehensive documentation for compliance purposes
Because SysGroup have the ISO certification we find it easier to offer our services…We found that ultimately, we can trust SysGroup as a supplier.
