Case Study: Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust achieves secure, efficient file sharing and reduced risk with SecureData using Varonis DatAnywhere

Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust - Customer Case Study

Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust, a district general hospital in Suffolk with about 3,500 staff serving a catchment of roughly 360,000 people, faced inefficient and risky processes for circulating sensitive board papers, handling last‑minute agenda changes, sharing patient or large log files with third parties, and giving remote A&E consultants access to changing shift schedules. Reliance on printed materials and ad‑hoc emails created cost, productivity and information‑governance concerns.

The Trust implemented Varonis DatAnywhere with support from SecureData to create a controlled sharing environment that keeps files on hospital servers while provisioning external access. The solution was quick to deploy and simple for staff to use, reducing printing costs, improving remote scheduling and meeting preparation, and lowering the risk of exposing confidential files — with administrators able to monitor and manage shared access.
