New penalties for DPA breaches. ICO can now fine up to £500,000 for breaches of the Data Protection Act.

Leading independent accountancy firm Peters Elworthy & Moore have deployed DriveLock endpoint security to protect their data.

Paul Chapman, Managing Partner at Peters Elworthy & Moore said, “As a firm we are responsible for the information we hold. Being
able to secure that information is important to us, particularly in terms of controlling what is transferred onto and off our systems."

DriveLock has been deployed to control and manage the use of USB devices (particularly USB memory sticks), and also to encrypt all of the USB memory sticks that their staff use.

“Knowing our client data is protected gives us additional peace of mind” concludes Chapman.  “DriveLock has given us back that control without any effect on the productivity of our team.”
