Case Study: St Anne’s Community Services achieves robust, GDPR-ready data protection with CensorNet

Charity required a security solution that could protect highly sensitive data while matching the pace of modern IT practices

St Anne’s Community Services, a UK not‑for‑profit providing care and support across the North of England, faced growing risk to highly sensitive client data as it moved to Microsoft Azure and Office 365 amid stricter GDPR requirements. The charity needed a modern, cloud‑aware security solution to replace costly, ineffective legacy tools, so it engaged CensorNet to provide Email Security, Web Security, CASB and a Compliant Email Archive.

CensorNet delivered an integrated, single‑pane platform (including LinkScan™ URL time‑of‑click protection and email archiving) to secure up to 2,000 staff across email, web and cloud services, support BYOD and improve visibility of shadow IT. The solution was implemented in 30 days, has resulted in no major incidents to date, streamlined compliance with GDPR, reduced costs and administration, and gave the IT team faster, centralized threat monitoring and ongoing vendor support.
