Sec2 Security get strong support from Strident

Based near Bury St Edmunds, Sec2 Security Limited began by providing physical security products, such as security doors, fire escape doors or secure kiosks. Although this is still a core part of its business, it has expanded into facilities management and provides complementary services including security locks, hearing loops and internal IT cabling for businesses such as supermarkets.

"We're not an IT business but we have a good understanding of IT, and we know what we want it to achieve for us," explains Jon Jeffery, Group Managing Director for Sec2. "We needed an IT Support business that would not only provide a professional service but also think outside the box and look at ways our IT could improve and add value to the business."

Sec2 has been supported by other IT businesses in the past but looked to move when they were not getting the service they needed. "The fact Strident is ISO 27001 accredited and a Microsoft Gold Partner was important to us. It showed they are a professional business with the necessary skills to support us," adds Mr Jeffery. "They listened carefully to what we needed and acted promptly. They also suggested enhancements to our IT systems to improve performance."

Although Sec2 were already using Microsoft's Office 365 suite, Strident was able to simplify Sec2's licensing structure. "In addition, Strident has shown us the capabilities of Teams to improve productivity and communication, enabling us to get much more out of a product we were already paying for. In partnering with Strident, we can implement a well-structured IT strategy that will enhance our business operations," concluded Mr Jeffery.
