Security distributor Vigil is aiming to beef up its resellers’ order books by offering end users a free compliance audit.
The audit is designed to help private and public sector organisations get their houses in order to comply with data-breach busting legislation. This includes the GCSx Code of Connection compliance for local authorities, which has a deadline of 31 March.
The audit, which will be carried out in conjunction with the reseller, is designed to identify discrepancies and then propose solutions to get the end user up to speed.

Vigil also mentioned the Government Connect Secure Extranet (GCSX) and the Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS) as further impetus for strengthening policies.
Alex Teh, director at 20-strong Vigil - which boasts vendor partnerships with the likes of Proofpoint, M86, Safend and LogRhythm - said: “New requirements and regulations such as GCSx 4.1 place increased pressure on those in charge of security, obligating customers to adhere to regulatory frameworks.
“Our technical resources and knowledge along with our vast understanding of the security market enables us to establish exactly what our customers need to do to meet these regulatory requirements and propose suitable recommendations and solutions."
