Case Study: London Borough of Camden achieves enhanced laptop security and public data protection with Absolute Software

Absolute helps London Borough of Camden cement its reputation for protecting public sector devices

The London Borough of Camden, a four‑star local authority serving about 230,000 residents, needed to close the last gap in its mobile security strategy: reliable tracking and control of laptops to protect public data and demonstrate strong public-sector safeguards. IT managers wanted a solution that could be deployed across a large, complex estate, improve asset utilization, and provide assurance that lost or stolen devices could not compromise sensitive information.

Camden chose Absolute’s persistent, SaaS-based agent and online portal, which rebuilds if tampered with and requires no additional server infrastructure. The solution delivers real‑time reporting and remote data removal or recovery, plus the ability to send alerts to individual or groups of devices — resulting in accurate laptop inventories, stronger protection of public data, easier device management, lower procurement overhead, and greater peace of mind for the council and its residents.
