Leading Charity Selects Award-Winning Email and File Encryption Software Egress Switch
Drug & Alcohol Service for London adopts Egress Switch to share sensitive information with external third parties.
London, United Kingdom, March 29, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Egress Software Technologies, the market-leading provider of email and file encryption software to charities, today announces the uptake of Egress Switch by Drug & Alcohol Service for London (DASL).
Based in East London, registered charity DASL helps communities and individuals tackle the problems caused by drug and alcohol misuse through education, raising awareness and therapeutic services. Over recent years, DASL has extended and enhanced service provision for those with drug and alcohol problems, and consequently increased the network of third party organisations they work with.
Michael O’Dwyer, DASL Newham Community Drug & Alcohol Team Senior Manager, explains: “DASL works alongside a range of external organisations, including health and social care providers. Protecting the sensitive information we share with these partners is a high priority, and as such, DASL examined a range of email and file encryption software. As well as being secure, we were aware that our chosen solution would need to be simple for both DASL staff and their recipients to use. Integrating with MS Outlook, Egress Switch absolutely meets this requirement, making it a convenient mechanism for sharing confidential information securely.”
Offering real-time auditing, as well as date and time restrictions, and the ability to revoke access to secure packages, Switch enables users to remain in control of the information they share. Integrating with a range of email clients, including Microsoft Outlook, Switch removes barriers to information security and simplifies the data sharing process. Moreover, using a community-based licensing model known as the Egress Trust Network, recipients of Switch packages can communicate securely free of charge with paying subscribers, offering end-to-end encryption throughout the data sharing process.
Commenting on the announcement, UK Sales Manager Kelly McCann stated: “DASL’s decision to select Switch reflects the growing requirement amongst UK charities to secure the highly sensitive information they share with third parties. We recognise that data security is going to be on the agenda for many organisations in 2014, particularly when it involves vulnerable individuals, so it is great to see charities such as DASL taking proactive steps to secure the information they share. In doing so, DASL are ensuring they protect both end-users and staff from data breaches, as well as improving the speed of communication, which hopefully will result in long-term efficiency gains and cost savings.”
