Security and compliance capabilities.
Data Never Leaves the Cloud
All data processed and stored in the cloud. Nothing written to end-user devices. USB ports, clipboard, and local drive access controlled centrally. Data exfiltration risk eliminated.
Centralised Security Policy Enforcement
Security policies applied at the platform level and enforced across every user session. No reliance on end-user devices being managed or compliant.
Conditional Access and MFA
Azure AD Conditional Access policies applied to all virtual desktop sessions. Multi-factor authentication enforced. Access blocked from non-compliant locations or devices.
Session Recording and Audit Logging
All virtual desktop sessions logged. Privileged user sessions recorded where required. Audit trail available for compliance investigations and incident response.
Compliance Framework Alignment
Virtual desktop configuration aligned to Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, and sector-specific requirements including NHS DSPT and FCA guidelines. Evidence packs produced for auditors.
Endpoint Protection Without Endpoint Management
Antivirus, EDR, and threat detection running inside the virtual desktop. End-user devices do not need to be managed. Security controls travel with the session, not the device.
From assessment to compliant virtual desktop.
Security Requirements Assessment
We document your compliance obligations, data classification requirements, and existing security controls. Identify gaps between current state and target security posture.
Security Architecture Design
Virtual desktop security architecture designed to meet your requirements. Conditional access policies, session controls, and data protection measures specified.
Policy Configuration and Testing
Security policies configured in Azure AD and the virtual desktop platform. Tested against your user scenarios to confirm controls work without blocking legitimate access.
Compliance Evidence Pack
Configuration documented and evidence pack produced. Screenshots, policy exports, and test results formatted for your compliance framework requirements.
User Communication and Training
Staff briefed on new security controls and what has changed. Guidance provided on acceptable use of virtual desktops and data handling requirements.
Ongoing Compliance Monitoring
Security posture monitored continuously. Policy drift detected and remediated. Quarterly compliance reviews and updated evidence packs for annual audits.
Compliance achieved across the UK.
Challenge: A Cardiff legal practice needed to demonstrate to the SRA that client data was protected when staff worked from home. Staff were using personal devices with no central oversight.
Outcome: Virtual desktop deployed with all client data confined to the cloud. Personal devices used only as thin clients. SRA audit passed. Practice able to demonstrate data never left the secure environment.
Challenge: A Newcastle NHS Trust needed to meet NHS DSPT requirements for remote access to patient data. Their existing solution had no session logging and no data loss prevention controls.
Outcome: AVD deployed with full session logging, clipboard restrictions, and USB blocking. DSPT evidence pack produced. Trust achieved Standards Met status at their next assessment.
Challenge: A Glasgow financial adviser network needed FCA-compliant remote working for 60 advisers across Scotland. Advisers were using a mix of personal and company devices with inconsistent security.
Outcome: Virtual desktop deployed with consistent security controls across all 60 advisers. Device type became irrelevant. FCA compliance achieved. Adviser onboarding time reduced from 3 days to 4 hours.
