Real Results

How UK businesses benefit from a live hardware register.

Financial Services Firm, London

A 45-person IFA firm had no formal asset register. During a regulatory audit they could not demonstrate what devices held client data or whether they were encrypted.

Full hardware register deployed in 3 weeks. Every device catalogued, encrypted, and documented. Regulatory audit passed with no findings.

Multi-Site Retailer, North West

A retail chain with 8 locations had no visibility of what hardware was at each site. Devices were going missing and warranties were expiring unnoticed.

Centralised asset register covering all sites. Three missing devices located. Hardware refresh plan created saving 6,200 pounds in unplanned replacements.

Legal Practice, Manchester

A law firm needed to demonstrate a complete device inventory for their Cyber Essentials Plus certification. Their existing spreadsheet was 18 months out of date.

Automated register built in 5 days. Cyber Essentials Plus certification achieved. Register now maintained automatically with zero manual effort.
