Case Study: The Richmond Fellowship Scotland strengthens security and GDPR compliance with Phoenix and Sophos

The Richmond Fellowship Scotland has all the bases covered with Phoenix and Sophos

The Richmond Fellowship Scotland, a social care charity supporting around 2,500 people across 190 services and 3,300 staff at more than 106 sites, needed a simpler and more secure way to manage growing IT risks. Working with Phoenix Software, it faced challenges around rising malware and ransomware threats, remote access for staff, mobile device security, GDPR compliance, and consolidating multiple security tools into one manageable platform.

Phoenix Software helped the charity streamline its security stack with Sophos UTM, Sophos Exploit Prevention, and Sophos Mobile Control, replacing older firewall, web filtering, and mail filtering systems while enabling secure remote access and easier device control. The result was a more integrated, intuitive, and cost-effective setup that improved protection, supported GDPR compliance without extra spend, and saved time on day-to-day management, with the charity continuing to rely on Phoenix Software for advice and support.
