The Challenge Ian Bryant, COO at trust-hub, explains: “Our platform has been developed from the ground up with Privacy by Design at its heart. We needed a partner with the same values as us – placing security and compliance at the top of the agenda – to help design, build and operate this state of the art encryption tool right first time. Security could simply not be an afterthought half way through development.”
The Solution
trust-hub looked at several companies who could provide a highly secure physical infrastructure for the platform. Ian stated, “The Bunker were able to provide an environment which matched our rigorous proposal and strict requirements.”
The Bunker has provided a dedicated virtualised environment at its military grade, UK-based, accredited data centre for the trust-hub solution, with strict access control, PCI compliance and UK centralised backups.
Ian continues: “The Bunker could see the opportunity to grow with us and we were impressed with everything they offered. It’s an ultra-secure environment, accredited by all the bodies we need, where networks aren’t routed out of the UK. It’s also delivered as an Infrastructure as a Service solution, which fits in perfectly with our own business model.”
The Result
The ultra-secure environment offered by The Bunker has accelerated the development of the trust-hub platform and enabled the business to confidently build a secure solution from the ground up and get to market faster.
Working with The Bunker, trust-hub now has access to a larger, dedicated, highly skilled team of experts available on demand, which helps control costs while providing the opportunity to grow in a secure, dedicated virtualised environment. The physical security, along with key accreditations ensure trust-hub and their customers feel confident that their data remains secure.
Ian explains: “As soon as we mention to our C-Suite prospects that we work with The Bunker – it’s an immediate tick in the box. The underground secure location, the accreditations, the dedicated private access control with high availability and disaster recovery – it’s the perfect package for our platform and gives our customers complete data confidence – especially in regard to the looming GDPR regulations.”
As the company’s footprint continues to grow, trust-hub expects to take advantage of The Bunker’s other service offerings. Ian concludes: “The Bunker recognised immediately where we wanted to be. Privacy by Design is part of our DNA – just like The Bunker. We have developed a true partnership and we look forward to continuing on our journey together.”
