Case Study: The Salvation Army (UK & Republic of Ireland) achieves automated guest access and expanded BYOD with Fortinet NAC

Salvation Army Automates Guest Access & Expands Byod Usage With Network Access Control

The Salvation Army UK & Republic of Ireland, a large non-profit with 50,000 members, 4,000 employees and operations across hundreds of sites, struggled with time-consuming, manual guest and BYOD provisioning across more than 100 locations and multiple wireless SSIDs. IT faced scaling and compliance challenges while trying to provide a consistent guest experience as staff, volunteers and contractors moved between sites.

Working with KHIPU Networks, the organization deployed Fortinet’s Network Access Control (NAC), using its multi-portal capability to automate wireless provisioning so devices receive a single connection ID and role-based access. The rollout unified guest access, greatly reduced IT provisioning time, expanded BYOD use, improved endpoint security and auditing for compliance, and delivered a smoother user experience.
