Summary:<\/strong> For 5 years, CORE has relied on NordLayer\u2019s Business VPN and Fixed IP to support their cybersecurity strategy, ensuring compliance with banks and other regulated industries.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

\"Results<\/div><\/div>

CORE<\/a>, a UK-based digital agency, works on branding, web design, digital marketing, and paid advertising. They handle everything from strategy to development as well as hosting and ongoing digital marketing services. We spoke with Ceri Richmond<\/strong>, CORE\u2019s founder and managing director, about how NordLayer helps them stay secure and compliant.<\/p><\/div>

\"Profile<\/div><\/div>

The challenge<\/h2>

CORE works with banks, legal firms, and other regulated clients, as well as a rich-mix of clients from other sectors. They are Cyber Essentials Plus<\/strong> and ISO 27001<\/strong> certified, which require strict security measures.<\/p>

Banks, in particular, must comply with Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) rules<\/strong> and European regulations. As well as at least annual audits with the various certification bodies CORE uses Financial Supplier Qualification System (FSQS)<\/strong> and Risk Ledger<\/strong> to show they meet these standards, and they undergo annual audits to stay certified.<\/p>

Before hybrid work, CORE relied on its office\u2019s fixed IP for secure connections to clients and servers and for file transfers. Moving to a hybrid model meant they needed a Business VPN and a Server with a dedicated IP<\/strong> to meet their own and their clients compliance requirements.<\/p>

After comparing options, they chose NordLayer because of its transparent European ownership<\/strong> and trusted reputation.<\/p><\/div>

“Some VPN providers have unclear ownership. We wanted a reliable company we could trust.”<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/div>

Step 1. Simple setup with SSO<\/h2>

CORE needed a VPN that was quick and easy to implement.<\/p>

They use Google accounts, so new hires log in with their Google ID<\/strong>, which integrates directly with NordLayer. This reduces the need for extra credentials. Two-factor authentication and other measures are enabled through Google for added security.<\/p>

Setting up a new user is straightforward:<\/p>
