The challenge
Caretower has grown rapidly over the years, attracting a number of security conscious customers from a variety of sectors. Due to this growth and in order to maintain its uncompromising approach to information security, Caretower required a new and more secure infrastructure provider to enable it to securely deliver its range of services. Critical to the decision making process was the ability to accommodate the needs of those customers that necessitate the highest levels of security possible.
 
Our Ultra Secure solution
After evaluating several data centre suppliers and with security driving the choice, Caretower selected The Bunker based on its security posture and the technical specification of its data centres. The highly secure and military grade UK-based facilities were the ideal data centres for Caretower, offering the enhanced levels of security required to meet the needs of its customers.
 
The Bunker enables Caretower to demonstrate a robust approach to data and system security through the control and restriction of physical access, protected by 24/7/365 onsite security, via The Bunker’s Security Operations Centre (SOC). Importantly, The Bunker’s heritage in information security and ISO 27001 accreditation reassures Caretower’s customers that their data is always secure.
 
Neils Hammond-Quaye, Service Delivery Manager at Caretower, said: “We take security very seriously and it is also a key consideration for our customers. As a result, it was important to partner with a company that thinks in the same way and values security like we do. The Bunker stood out due to the uncompromising security that it provides and because of the clear synergies in the way we both approach security. The Bunker provides for the necessary security requirements as not only does it demonstrate physical security, with its military grade data centres, but it also displays security in terms of personnel, as all staff are security cleared. Data security is fully ingrained in its culture and its DNA as a business.”
 
Results & benefits delivered
By working closely with The Bunker, Caretower is able to maintain its market leading position in network security and protection, all without the complexity and expense of building a facility. Not only is Caretower able to mitigate risk and provide constant security reassurance for its customers, but it is also able to demonstrate compliance with the relevant industry standards.
 
Crucially, The Bunker’s image and security positioning has afforded Caretower real business benefits. Caretower has been able to provide additional selling points for its services and can offer more value to its customers, due to its new highly secure environment and the additional layer of security provided. This has contributed to Caretower’s continued growth by enabling it to sell more services to new and existing customers. Caretower expects its customer base to grow even further in the near future and will expand the amount of space used at The Bunker’s facilities accordingly.
 
Their verdict
“The level of security The Bunker provides combined with its accreditations and best practice approach made it the perfect fit. We have been able to demonstrate to our customers how much we value security and they now have total peace of mind and confidence that their data is safe. Our future plans are to continue utilising the image and the security positioning of The Bunker to sell further services to security conscious organisations. We are well placed to continue to grow our customer base and our business.”
