“Leinster star Mike Ross tackles the tech world”

Mike Ross, former Leinster and Irish international rugby player has decided to hang up the boots and take on a new role of Commercial Director here at Wizuda. We are delighted to have him on board and he is a great addition to our team.

An article posted by the Irish times said: “Former Irish international rugby player Mike Ross has left the world of sport to become commercial director for technology firm Wizuda. Mr Ross will focus on developing the company’s Irish customer portfolio for the file-sharing solutions and data transfer arms of the Wizuda business.”

“Under the GDPR legislation, which comes into force in Ireland in May 2018, companies must ensure that personal data is protected. Amongst other things, this means that organisations must use safe methods to transfer data.”

The board of a multinational medical device organisation required a secure, cloud-based solution which facilitated virtual board member collaboration on key documents in preparation for monthly board meetings.

Key challenges that need to be considered:

Geographically dispersed stakeholders
Highly commercially sensitive documentation
No internal IT involvement
Multiple stakeholders required to collaborate on
single documents

Wizuda MFT gave them a centralised view of all their file transfer activities and a network overview of the data flows. IT now had instantly available reporting and could provide geographic maps and network overviews to senior management of all file transfer activities in the organisation. These could also be categorised in ways that made sense for the business from a priorities perspective. Wizuda’s unique ‘Health Check’ dashboard with automated monitoring and alerts, allowed them to manage all transfer operations proactively and ensured they were always on top of any issues.

From a GDPR compliance perspective, transfers could be linked to Data Protection Impact Assessments were required and data could be anonymised as part of the transfer process. Wizuda MFT enabled them to apply the latest security protocols for file transfers and encrypt data at rest and in transit. Passing cyber-security and GDPR compliance audits became a lot easier.
