Case Study: Public and Commercial Services Union strengthens ransomware protection with Asigra Cloud Backup

Public and Commercial Services Union strengthens backup resilience for 300,000 members with Asigra

The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) Union, a major UK trade union, faced the challenge of strengthening its cybersecurity and data protection to defend against rising ransomware threats and ensure GDPR compliance across its hybrid Windows and Microsoft 365 environment. To enhance its organizational resilience, PCS partnered with vendor Asigra and its service provider Data2Vault to implement a more secure cloud backup solution capable of preventing ransomware attack-loops.

The solution implemented by Asigra provided advanced, signatureless bi-directional malware detection and prevention, specifically designed to stop zero-day ransomware from infecting backup data. This gave PCS several new layers of cybersecurity protection, ensuring clean data was always available for recovery. The results included enhanced resilience against cyber attacks, robust preparedness for GDPR audits, and peace of mind that mission-critical member data was secure and recoverable.
