Encryption software Egress Switch has been shortlisted for 'Software Package of the Year' 2011 at the British Accountancy Awards.

Egress Switch simplifies encryption and enables clients to reply completely free of charge, unlike conventional email encryption products that are often complicated to use and difficult to deploy.

Egress Switch is rapidly becoming the product of choice for Accountancy firms looking to transfer confidential information by email. Designed to cater for sole practitioners to multi-office firms, Egress Switch enables accountants to share sensitive information electronically, using a combination of public and private cloud infrastructure.

"Tough economic conditions present new pressures and increasing demands on Accountants in practice and our customers believe that the only way to meet this challenge is to embrace technology and improve service delivery." said Tony Pepper, CEO for Egress Software Technologies.  "In doing so, these firms not only satisfy regulatory requirements but also offer a competitive advantage over their nearest rivals."

Leveraging Government accredited SAAS infrastructure, and utilizing AES 256 bit FIPS 140-2 encryption, Switch protects confidential information sent by email, copied to USB removable media, burnt to CD/DVD, or uploaded to FTP/Cloud Servers. Access privileges can then be modified or revoked in real-time, even after the information is sent or shared. This allows users to instantly 'pull information back' should there be evidence that data has been lost or mishandled.
 
Egress Switch also offers data classification and customisable disclaimer notifications, making email encryption, media encryption, and large file transfer more secure and easier than ever. This next generation level of control, combined with integrated workflow features, mitigates the risk of unintentional data loss and enforces recipient responsibility when handling confidential information.

"What accountants want is to be able to maintain client confidentiality and send data securely to clients, without having to deal with complex IT" says Jon Stanton from PEM IT Services.  "Egress Switch delivers that protection whilst allowing the accountant to continue to use familiar systems."
