Case Study: The Peabody Trust improves data protection and collaboration with Egress Switch Secure Workspace

Peabody improves data protection and collaboration with Egress Switch Secure Workspace

The Peabody Trust, one of London’s largest housing associations, needed a better way to protect sensitive resident and project information while collaborating with employees, subcontractors, and other third parties. Before working with Egress, Peabody struggled with costly and cumbersome access management, limited audit visibility, and growing “shadow IT” as users turned to personal email, Dropbox, and USB drives to share data.

Egress implemented Switch Secure Workspace, giving The Peabody Trust an encrypted online environment for secure internal and external collaboration with permissions controls, document editing, and real-time audit trails. The solution improved oversight of shared data, helped reduce the risk of shadow IT, and was quickly adopted by teams across the business, with users asking to expand access beyond the initial Repairs Team.
