Circle Voluntary Housing Association

Mobile phones are integral to the smooth running of business at Circle Voluntary Housing Association.

“Most of our staff are on the road,” explains Muriel Koyce, IT and Information Governance Manager at Circle. This, coupled with a switch to fully remote working, means the mobile phone is vital for everyone at the organisation. “The mobile phone is key for keeping connected,” says Muriel.

After identifying mobile phones as a security risk, Circle Voluntary Housing Association needed a robust and cost-effective mobile security solution.

“While we had really good systems in place in the office, we didn’t have the right oversight on mobile phones,” says Muriel. With this knowledge in hand, Muriel approached Circle’s dedicated Business Account Manager Lisa Conaghan from Three to discuss possible solutions.

3Mobile Protect immediately flagged several phones without the latest software installed. “The latest software offers that extra protection,” says Muriel, who was happy to get every phone up to date.

“We have noticed a reduction in the amount of smishing and phishing attacks too,” says Muriel. “And it has saved our workload in terms of analysing threats.”

Now, rather than sifting through information manually, Circle have everything they need in an easy-to-use dashboard. “It shows how many attacks have been stopped,” Muriel explains. “It’s easy to use and turn apps on or off.”

Praise for 3Mobile Protect has even come from further afield. “We recently went through a cyber security audit, and they complimented us on having such a simple and effective system,” says Muriel.

Now an area that was identified as a potential risk has the protection it needs. “It gives you real peace of mind,” says Muriel.

What’s more, it can offer real value to any business. “It’s given us much more than what we originally imagined it would,” says Muriel. If you’re looking for secure mobile protection, 3Mobile Protect could be the right solution for you.
