Delivering secure document collaboration

The cooperation will see Redcentric ensure compliant provision of Brainloop’s trusted document collaboration and information sharing services to some of the UK’s leading banks, pharmaceutical and manufacturing organisations, as well as financial and legal services amongst others. Key to Brainloop’s decision was Redcentric’s ability to deliver a resilient and accredited infrastructure, along with geographically diverse UK data centres connected via its MPLS network. Redcentric has ISO27001 and ISO9001 certifications and is PCI Compliant for hosting services at its Harrogate and Reading Data Centres.

Already a highly successful secure collaboration service in Germany, Brainloop’s UK service will see Redcentric deliver PaaS within UK regulatory and customer requirements. Brainloop selected Redcentric as its platform partner because of its specific UK focus and regulatory compliance, as well as the importance and focus it places on security. Delivering IT services in the cloud means that Brainloop will benefit from the flexibility to rapidly and easily scale up to meet demand as required.

Brainloop offers one of the securest collaboration solutions available and a Gartner report on Trusted SaaS Offerings for Secure Collaboration cites the company as among those offering “the highest levels of trust based on support tasks with specific regulatory requirements for privacy, confidentiality and integrity."

Mark Edge, Brainloop’s Vice President of Sales and Country Manager UK, says “We undertook a comprehensive due diligence exercise and believe that we can build a strong, mutually respectful relationship with Redcentric. There was trust there from the outset; this was demonstrated by Redcentric’s extremely detailed, transparent tender response.”

Brainloop’s solution is highly secure and effective because it allows employees to collaborate any time and on any devices, while the organisation maintains control and has full visibility of how information is used and by whom. Brainloop also delivers end to end enterprise content protection with solutions to suit every individual department and document type.

“The use of collaboration solutions in business has become widespread,” continues Edge. “But secure collaboration, required for highly sensitive documents or regulation-heavy markets, demands higher security and compliance requirements than an average collaboration solution can provide.”

“That’s why Brainloop chose to work with Redcentric. As part of our decision process, we commissioned an external security audit to be undertaken of Redcentric’s security provisions. The resulting Security Assessment Report assured us that Redcentric was able to protect our customers and their data.”

Andy Mills, Sales Director at Redcentric, said, “We’re delighted to be working with Brainloop in the UK. The deal is a clear demonstration of our commitment to providing the very best in cloud services to the UK market.”
