Case Study: NHS Blood and Transplant improves secure data sharing with Globalscape

NHS Blood and Transplant secures 400+ file transfer jobs with Globalscape

NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT), the sole provider of blood donations in England, faced significant challenges with its complex and time-critical data-sharing needs. Its existing file transfer systems had become slow and unwieldy due to years of ad hoc additions, managing over 400 jobs and struggling to cope with increasing demands. To upskill its IT systems for the future, NHSBT partnered with vendor Globalscape to establish a more robust, flexible, and secure solution.

The solution implemented by Globalscape, in conjunction with HANDD Business Solutions, included the integration of Fortra’s Clearswift ICAP Gateway for an added layer of security and threat protection. This provided NHSBT with a fully automated system that identifies areas of risk, such as sensitive information or malware, as data flows through its transfers. The result was a significant heightening of protection for critical information in motion, improving overall system efficiencies and security for the organization.
