The managed services provider will offer eLINIA Secure Exchange as a fully
supported service based on Method4’s proprietary Method4Exchange technology,
which offers a secure and simple way for organisations to transfer and share
files across the web.
Recent high-profile security breaches at the HMRC,
NHS and others have highlighted the risks involved in using couriers to transfer
sensitive data in hard-copy format. With the data loss likely to become a
criminal offence,
Secure Exchange enables users to upload and download
large files direct from a password-protected portal, over a secure encrypted SSL
connection. Users can be assigned role-based access to files, offering the
flexibility of a secure federated identity model.
James Carnie,
technical architect at eLINIA, commented: “Our partnership with Method4 offers a
robust solution to a very real and widespread problem. Email size limits make
sharing large files difficult, so businesses adopt a variety of practices that
can compromise security.
“Hard-copies lost in transit are just the tip
of the iceberg. It’s not uncommon to see individuals using their own web-based
email accounts to transfer files, unaware that data can be easily intercepted in
this way.”
Secure Exchange is hosted and managed at eLINIA’s highly
secure data-centres in Cardiff, Slough and London. All of eLINIA’s engineers and
technicians are accredited at the highest security levels, including ISO9001,
ISO27001 offering peace of mind for organisations concerned about sharing
sensitive information.
Christian Coates, managing director of Method4,
said: “Finding a trusted hosting partner is vital to the success of our
on-demand secure file exchange model. eLINIA’s ability to meet the most
stringent government and FSA standards gives us a strong joint proposition that
will support the rapid expansion of our business, and help us break into new
markets.”
Method 4’s current customers include National Assembly Wales,
and one of the UK’s largest high-street pharmacies.
James Carnie said:
“We see strong potential for Secure Exchange within the financial sector, where
we already have significant experience. We are also talking to media production
companies about using the product to help prevent pirate copies been stolen or
copied in transit.”
eLINIA provides secure managed hosting for
organisations including media production company Barcud Derwen, and a number of
global financial organisations. More information about eLINIA’s Secure Exchange
