Case Study: Quality Foster Care protects sensitive case information with Egress Switch

Quality Foster Care selects Egress Switch to protect highly sensitive case information shared electronically with third parties

Quality Foster Care, a fostering provider in South East England, needed a secure way to share highly sensitive case information with local authorities, social services, schools, and foster carers. Because the data involved children and families, the organization was concerned about accidental misdelivery, loss, and its duty of care when using electronic communication. Egress Switch was selected to help address this challenge.

Egress implemented Egress Switch, its email and file encryption solution, giving Quality Foster Care control over who received information, what recipients could do with it, and the ability to revoke it if sent in error. The service also provided real-time auditing and full message logs. The result was a solution that was easy to implement and simple for end-users to adopt, with positive feedback from staff and stronger protection against reputational damage and potential fines.
