Communication
Today’s organisations need watertight security,
particularly now that ‘cloud computing’ has empowered
users to access data any time, from anywhere. However,
they also need cost savings, optimum productivity and
a renewed focus on environmental action. Our solutions
give control back to businesses and users without
compromising on security or access.
Unlike traditional authentication solutions, working with
SecurEnvoy allows us to quickly install and integrate
into existing IT systems. Crucially, we avoid the need for
much of the additional cost or remote deployment of the
traditional approach to security software, creating an
unprecedented zero-footprint solution while ensuring long-
term cost benefits.
Deployment or Fully Managed Hosted Service?
We can deploy Two Factor Authentication on premise or
as a fully managed hosted service. The benefit of a fully
managed service, is that it eliminates the time, effort and
management overhead required, allowing organisations
to maximize operational efficiencies, manage capital
expenditure and release hardware, reducing the
burden of administrative and resource intensive services.
Whichever approach you take, we will work with you to
manage any risks and maximise rewards, making sure that
control of your sensitive data is retained.

What do we do?
Our solutions are based on
SecurAccess from SecurEnvoy which
turns any mobile phone that can
receive SMS into a ready-made
authentication device. This pioneering
zero-footprint solution cuts costs by
using hardware that is already in
circulation. Unlike traditional tokens
that take months to deploy and
replace, SecurAccess can roll out more
than 15,000 new remote staff per hour
without the pain, cost or environmental
impact created by legacy hardware
distribution.
How does this integrate with my
existing systems?
The solution fully integrates into
Microsoft Active Directory, Novell
eDirectory, Sun Directory Server and
OpenLDAP. Integration is simple as
it requires no additional databases
or hardware – not to mention their
associated cost. SecurAccess also
integrates with all leading remote
access servers and web services
including Microsoft OWA, Citrix, Juniper
and Cisco. There’s also no need for
extra software, eliminating costly and
time-consuming testing and training
schemes. SecurEnvoy has been
designed to respond to the constant
changes in mobile technology to
ensure a competitive ROI.
What about network coverage or SMS
delivery delays?
SecurAccess is fundamentally
designed to let you:
• Pre-load one-time passcodes
• Reuse session passcodes that
change daily or after multiple days
• Request temporary passcodes
through self-help website
• Obtain passcodes via email if
necessary
Why do we partner with SecurEnvoy?
SecurEnvoy are the inventors of
SMS based tokenless two factor
authentication and have been leading
the way in the development of this
next generation of authentication
technology since 2000. A global leader
in business authentication, SecurEnvoy
are a UK based company, privately
owned with products distributed across
the world.
Can two factor authentication be
provided as a service?
Yes. We offer a range of services
from on-site deployment to a fully
managed, comprehensive hosted
service. Where organisations cannot
justify expenditure on skills and
infrastructure to deploy an on-site two
factor authentication solution, or where
their internal IT teams are already over
burdened, our hosted SecurAccess
Managed Service is the ideal solution
to meet your business and security
requirements.
Two factor authentication is a
specialised area and we have invested
in specialist, trained and dedicated
engineers that not only fully understand
user authentication solutions, but
also how to deliver a quality service,
following industry best practice
standards.
How resilient and flexible is the service?
Our Hosted SecurAccess Managed
Service is delivered via our secure
Tier 3+ Data Centre, which utilises
the ‘best of breed’ Technology as
a Service infrastructure. This allows
organisations to benefit from a highly
scalable, highly available, resilient
platform for delivery of authentication
services. The infrastructure is monitored
and supported 24x7x365 resulting in
performance and availability that is
truly enterprise class.
Our service allows an organisations
user base to be fully administered by
SCC, or alternatively in-house via a
secure web portal. This gives businesses
the additional flexibility to deliver the
service deemed most appropriate
to their uses and to take advantage
of a true cloud service. Our flexible
infrastructure ensures that large
numbers of users can be brought on
board quickly and with confidence.
