We had the honour & pleasure of meeting HRH Prince Charles at the Lord Mayor's Big Curry sponsored by us. He even joked about his own email security & of course we were happy to oblige trying to help him with this!

He went onto ask how we were fairing in present economic conditions to which we replied: “very well & if anything we are growing and expanding.” He found this interesting given he sees a mixed bag of how companies are fairing given his travels on Royal engagements. Referring back to his email he joked that: “he wasn’t really up on email and he worried about his security around it, but he had 14 year olds looking at it for him.” Of course he probably means young security advisors from GCHQ. We of course offered to assist him should the need ever arise! Pictures to follow…

UK based Sirius Data targets defence and security customers with content based data assurance - implementing better control procedures for International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR.)

UK CHANNEL MARKET CONTINUES TO EMBRACE INDORSE’S AWARD-WINNING INFORMATION ASSURANCE SOLUTIONS

U.S., New York and U.K., London - September 1, 2009 - InDorse Technologies today announced that Sirius Data has selected its award-winning information assurance solutions for its context-based security policy enforcement and ability to automatically group scattered documents into logical categories.  InDorse’s new U.K.-based channel partner will leverage InDorse’s solutions to target, secure and classified customers with the support of their CESG CLAS accredited consultants.  InDorse has enabled Sirius Data to offer a new service to accelerate International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) processes and to meet the criteria required by defense contractors, government and security agencies.

Rob Marano, InDorse Technologies’ founder and CEO said, “Utilizing InDorse’s solutions, channel partners are quickly finding new areas to expand into and offer a host of services for discovering and grouping all documents based on selected criteria as well as applying strict ‘need to know’ security policies that follow the documents to prevent unapproved access.  We welcome Sirius Data as an InDorse partner.”

John Corr, managing director of Sirius Data, a U.K. specialist in storage, messaging and security products and services, underscores the value of InDorse Technologies relative to competitive solutions and his client base.  “Our evaluation of the security product vendors led us to conclude that, whilst useful in support of digital rights management (DRM) and data leakage protection (DLP), there was nothing like InDorse or as comprehensive in its capabilities.  We have worked with other vendors in the past, but were attracted to InDorse due to their ability to immediately apply the appropriate, context-based security policy to any file and enforce this policy at every usage session.  More importantly for us, InDorse’s ability to logically group documentation means that we can provide product or service-based solutions, complete with information assurance throughout.”

Sirius signs exclusive agreement with IQ Finance to provide tailored finance & leasing options for Sirius & our clients. www.iqfinance.co.uk

Founder & CEO John Corr says: “IQ Finance & Sirius both started out at around the same time five years ago & we have both successfully evolved and progressed. We at Sirius have always prided ourselves at doing things differently from the norm & thinking very creatively on behalf of our clients. As part of this, we have always stressed that clients really should take a re-look at financing if they have entrenched views from the past. Leases have evolved so much over the years that you can put all sorts of things into a “balanced” lease i.e. hardware, software, support, consultancy costs, project management etc. I have worked with IQ on many occasions & I trust them to simplify matters for a client, provide quick responses and quotations & assist in getting underwriting facilitated much, much faster than the majority of leasing companies I have used in the past. The advice IQ offers is second to none & I am pleased to be partnering with them. Take a look & request us to come in and talk to you - there is no obligation on a clients part, but you could be very surprised by what you learn.”

Founder & Director of IQ Finance James Noonan says: “We are pleased to develop this partnership & provide tailored solutions with Sirius since they have always promoted innovation to their clients & that quality mirrors our own business model. Both John & I have been successful working together on large multi-million pound projects so this is a natural progression to formalise the relationship between our two companies. I look forward to working with Sirius to create exclusive financing products & solutions for their client base & to more continued mutual success.”
