Case Study: Public and Commercial Services Union strengthens cybersecurity and cloud backup resilience with Asigra

Public and Commercial Services Union protects data for 300,000 members with Asigra

The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) Union, a major UK trade union, faced challenges in strengthening its cybersecurity and compliance posture. With a growing hybrid IT environment and rising ransomware threats, particularly to cloud data like Microsoft 365, PCS needed to enhance its data protection and recovery capabilities to ensure operational continuity and GDPR compliance. They sought a solution with the help of vendor Asigra and its partners.

Asigra’s cloud-based data recovery solution was implemented, providing an integrated, agentless platform. It featured policy-based protection, encryption, and signature-less malware detection to quarantine threats in backup data across Windows networks and Microsoft 365. This deployment, facilitated by Asigra and local partners, optimized IT resources and delivered a secure, compliant data protection framework, strengthening the union's resilience against cyber attacks.
