| Client Description |  |
| The Environment Agency was established on the 1st January 1996 after the Environment Act was passed in 1995. We are a non-departmental public body, i.e. we are independent of government but work very closely with government departments, principally the Department for the Environment, Food & Rural Affairs in order to get the best possible results for the environment. Legally, our 14 member Board constitutes the Environment Agency and is directly responsible to Government Ministers for all aspects of our organization and performance. We are accountable to Parliament through Ministers. |
| The Assignment |
| Working with Cohort Technologies we are supporting the Agency in implementing PGP Whole Disk Encryption across the EA's laptop estate to ensure that any unauthorised access to the device is prohibted.
The testing was implemented over a 6 week period, ensuring that the product did not inadvertently prevent other EA applications from working correctly and ensuring it was non-intrusive to the end-user in its implementation and daily usage.
Testing considerations needed to take into account the different types of laptops that the EA had within its estate, the range of applications installed, future maintenance of the laptop for AV and security updates, and also the ability for the solution to work whilst the user was offline (not connected to the EA network).
The product has currently rolled out to 8000 laptops across England and Wales, ensuring that the EA's data is secured wherever the user and the laptop maybe.
We are currently supporting the EA in implementing PGP Endpoint Management, ensuring that only approved devices are used on EA devices. |
