Case Study: Derby City Council achieves regulatory compliance and substantial cost savings with Egress Switch

Derby City Council embraces email & file encryption to achieve regulatory compliance and substantial operational cost savings

Derby City Council needed a scalable way to securely exchange sensitive information with third parties outside the Government Secure Extranet, while also integrating with Microsoft Exchange and staying within budget. After finding its existing document and content management system too expensive due to licensing costs, the Council turned to Egress and its Switch email and file encryption product to meet compliance and security needs.

Egress implemented Switch quickly, with full Microsoft Outlook/Exchange integration and support for real-time auditing and secure sharing. The Council was able to procure through a framework at discounted rates, reducing costs and speeding deployment, and it reported substantial operational savings by avoiding the expensive legacy system. The solution also helped Derby City Council improve compliance and reduce the risk of data security breaches.
