Secure Laptop Solution for use in UK Prisons
|

A court ruling required HM Prison Service to give prisoners shared computer access for legal case preparation and appeals. The project posed some unique challenges in security, privacy and the allocation of staff resources.
Data Synergy's engineering team worked alongside a major laptop PC vendor to create a bespoke high security solution for prisoner use. Our solution allowed the PCs to be used only for the intended purpose whilst preventing abuse and avoiding unnecessary burdens on staff.
The project was approved centrally by HMPS Security Group, piloted at HMP Belmarsh, standardised across the High Security Estate before national rollout to other UK Prisons. It has additionally been approved for use within Private Sector prisons.

Wake-on-LAN BIOS Agent for UK Police Force
|
|
A UK police force wanted to reduce energy costs by turning off unused computers at night time. The force identified Wake-on-LAN (WoL) as the key technology for implementing night time system updates and anti-virus scans. However, a major problem was identified at the outset – there was no apparent way to enable WoL without visiting each PC individually. This was impractical and not cost effective.
Data Synergy created a unique, Windows-based, BIOS update agent. Implemented as an advanced Windows kernel driver that allowed the WoL feature to be remotely enabled on over 6,000 desktop computers without any technician visits. The solution has been in use for over four years and ultimately evolved into our PowerMAN product and Wake-on-LAN toolset.
