Case Study: NHS Yorkshire and Humber Commissioning Support achieves 100% ROI and robust protection of confidential patient data with SonicWall

Health service protects confidential patient data

Yorkshire and Humber Commissioning Support’s newly formed Data Management Integration Centre (DMIC) needed to protect confidential patient data across three sites and provide secure remote access for staff. To meet these requirements the organisation selected SonicWall, deploying SonicWall NSA Series firewalls along with SonicWall Global Management System, E‑Class SRA Series and SonicWall Mobile Connect for secure remote access.

SonicWall implemented network security and secure remote access solutions that an external security audit confirmed prevented breaches; the deployment delivered 100 percent ROI within months, reduced ongoing management to about one hour per week so IT could focus on strategic projects, and enabled high-volume data transfers with fast setup and configuration. SonicWall’s solutions provided the required separation and protection of patient-data traffic while simplifying administration and improving operational efficiency.
