Case Study: Morris Owen achieves secure, compliant client data sharing with Egress Switch

Morris Owen has selected Egress Switch to protect and control information shared between the firm and its clients

Morris Owen, a long-established South West financial services and accountancy firm, needed a better way to protect confidential client information as new UK data protection rules raised the risk of fines and made encryption essential. The firm was worried about sharing sensitive data by email, CD/DVD, and cloud upload, and looked to Egress and its Switch service to help secure those communications.

Egress implemented Egress Switch as a hosted secure collaboration and encryption solution, giving Morris Owen one-click protection with rapid deployment and low ownership cost. The result was that external information sharing now meets UK legal requirements, reduces the risk of data loss, and fits seamlessly into daily workflows; clients also gained the ability to protect and audit confidential information as part of the service.
