Mackinnon Corporate Finance
Mackinnon Corporate Finance is a Cowes-based firm which has been a customer of Navigate Solutions since 2005.
The vast majority of Mackinnon's clients are on the mainland, and as such the firm relies heavily on email and the internet. In addition, given the financial nature of the firm's business, data security and reliable back ups are essential to the smooth running of the company in line with its regulatory obligations under the Financial Services Authority.
Objectives
- To overhaul the firm's existing system, improving security and minimise downtime
- To provide Mackinnon with a reliable network, with the ability to access data remotely via secure VPN for remote working , in addition, the provision of secure email access for mobile users.
Key Requirements
- Maximum security and protection
- Reliable backups
- Remote and mobile network access
- Wireless network for the Cowes office
Solution
- Standardisation of the existing network, including implementation of security measures to protect data
- Installation of secure wireless access points in the office
- Set up of secure VPNs and webmail access
- Implementation of mobile data access via mobile phone/PDA
Outcome
As a result of the measures implemented by Navigate Solutions, Mackinnon now enjoys a secure IT network with minimal downtime, which can be accessed from anywhere worldwide, safe in the knowledge that all data is encrypted, and that in the unlikely event of a system failure all of its crucial data will be properly backed up.
