Public trust doesn't survive a data breach headline.

HANDD helps government departments, agencies, and public bodies move citizen data securely, prevent it from leaking, defend against nation-state and AI-era threats, connect systems that were never built to talk to each other, and modernise the legacy platforms still running critical services.

Overview

Digital government promises speed. Citizens are still owed security.

Public sector bodies carry a distinct combination of pressures: citizen data that must move securely across departments and agencies, that same data at constant risk of leaking through everyday channels, a rising volume of nation-state and AI-assisted attacks against critical infrastructure, legacy mainframe and case-management systems that are expensive to run and near-impossible to replace, and digital transformation strategies that depend on systems talking to each other for the first time. Tackled separately, these become a different vendor and a different risk register for every problem.

HANDD brings Managed File Transfer, Data Loss Prevention, AI Security, iPaaS, Application Modernisation, and the services around them together under one operating model — so IT, security, and compliance teams work from the same evidence base.

Key industry challenges

Modern public services are being built on infrastructure that predates them.

Citizen data still crosses departments unmonitored

Physical media, email attachments, and legacy FTP scripts still move records between agencies outside any governed, auditable channel.

A single disclosure can become a public inquiry

Accidental sharing, misdirected records, and uncontrolled endpoints expose citizen data long before a breach is ever confirmed.

Government is a standing target for nation-state actors

Critical infrastructure faces a constant volume of state-sponsored and AI-assisted attacks — plus new exposure as agencies adopt AI tools.

Agencies were never built to share data

One-stop citizen services and cross-agency initiatives stall when case-management, records, and benefits systems can’t integrate.

Decades-old mainframes still run critical services

Ageing case-management and records platforms are costly to run, difficult to integrate, and politically risky to replace outright.

Every disclosure has to be defensible

Freedom of Information requests, audits, and public inquiries all demand a clear record of who accessed what data, and when.

HANDD solutions

What it takes to keep patient data safe, compliant, and moving.

Managed File Transfer (MFT)

Replace physical media, email, and legacy FTP scripts with a single, governed platform for inter-agency records and citizen data exchange — encrypted, monitored, and fully auditable.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Stop citizen data leaving through email, endpoints, or unmanaged channels — before it becomes a breach, an inquiry, or a headline.

AI Security

Defend critical infrastructure against nation-state and AI-assisted attacks, and govern how AI tools access and process citizen data.

iPaaS

Connect case-management, records, and benefits systems through a single integration platform — enabling the cross-agency services digital strategies promise.

Application Modernisation

Modernise legacy mainframe and case-management systems in stages — reducing operational risk without a disruptive, politically risky replacement.

More Capabilities..

Delivered your way: every solution above can be consumed as a managed service — Compliance as a ServiceMFT as a Service, or ongoing Managed Services support — so your team gets the outcome without carrying all of the operational load.

Compliance and governance

Every disclosure logged, every request accounted for.

Global Frameworks

ISO 27001, NIST CSF & Cyber Essentials

Encrypt citizen data in transit, enforce policy-backed transfer controls, and maintain the access logs government security frameworks require.

Regional & Local

Local & Regional Compliance

From national cybersecurity agencies to regional data protection authorities, we help public bodies meet local requirements with the same audit trail used globally.

Public Service Use Cases

The exchanges where public trust is won or lost.

Inter-agency data exchange

MFT — secure transfer of case files and records between departments.

FOI & records request fulfilment

MFT — encrypted, monitored delivery of records in response to disclosure requests.

Citizen data leak prevention

DLP — stopping personal and welfare records leaving through email or endpoints.

Insider risk monitoring

DLP — flagging unusual access to sensitive citizen records by staff or contractors.

Critical infrastructure defence

AI Security — detecting and containing nation-state and AI-assisted attacks.

Governing AI in public services

AI Security — controlling how AI chatbots and decision tools access citizen data.

One-stop citizen service integration

iPaaS — connecting benefits, records, and case-management systems.

Legacy-to-cloud data integration

iPaaS — extending digital government initiatives to legacy back-office systems.

Mainframe & case-management modernisation

Application Modernisation — phased upgrade of critical government systems.

Digital-by-default service enablement

Application Modernisation — preparing legacy systems for online citizen services.

Secure Public Sector Data Flow

From siloed departments to a governed, auditable standard.

Assess

Map every inter-agency, citizen-facing, and third-party data flow, and identify where risk and compliance gaps sit today.

Secure

Apply encryption, role-based access, transfer policies, and key management aligned to ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and NACSA guidance.

Automate

Turn manual inter-agency, disclosure, and reporting handoffs into governed, repeatable workflows.

Monitor

Track transfer status, failed deliveries, and anomalous activity across the estate in one view.

Report

Produce audit-ready evidence for internal governance, external auditors, and regulators on request.
