The Challenge: Securing and Tracking Mobile Devices Across Locations
Sam Edwards, IT Manager at Bond Bryan, oversees the firm’s technology strategy. As the company expanded, so did its fleet of mobile devices. However, managing these devices across multiple offices and project sites presented significant challenges:
- Protecting sensitive data & intellectual property: project files contain confidential client and architectural plans that must remain secure.
- Managing a mobile workforce: employees frequently work from different locations, increasing the risk of device loss or theft.
- Lack of real-time visibility: no centralized way to monitor device locations, enforce security policies, or recover lost devices.
Ensuring compliance with industry standards - The firm supports clients in achieving Building Information Modelling (BIM) Level 2 compliance, requiring strict security measures.
My responsibility for IT is twofold. First of all, I make sure that our IT is set up to enable our staff to work the best they can. Secondly, I need to make sure that data - our own and that of our clients - is secure at all times. Data security is a vital aspect of our industry, and it’s a priority for the IT team.
