Imerja makes vital Business Links

Security VAR wins deal to upgrade security of Business Links Northwest's mobile devices

Safe and secure: Imerja will ensure Business Link Northwest complies with recent legislation

Specialist security VAR Imerjahas sealed a deal with Business Link Northwest to upgrade the security of its mobile devices in line with new government legislation.

The deal follows a succession of high profile government data losses in recent years, which has prompted the need for firms to ensure security of all devices taken outside of the corporate network such as USB sticks, laptops and smart phone, or face the risk of up to a £500,000 fine.

Imerja will carry out a full evaluation and implementation of an encryption solution at Business Link Northwest, which is aligned with parent government association Northwest Regional Development Agency and is part of the national Business Link group.

Ian Jackson, managing director of Imerja, said: “Business Link Northwest will soon be an exemplary case of how any business, whether public or private, should handle data. More companies need to follow suit as breaches in security are so easily remedied that there really is no excuse.”

Martin Gore, IT Infrastructure manager at Business Link Northwest, said: “Protecting our client’s data has always been of the utmost importance for us and this latest upgrade will ensure that we continue to provide this security for our contacts while also fulfilling the new government requirement.”
