Broad experience, robust approach, independent view

Company85 have a strong track record of designing, building and accelerating workspace projects that add value to organisations. Whether you are looking to reduce your real estate costs, improve your green credentials or change the way your employees work, our workspace services help you to enable work from multiple devices and locations seamlessly.

Lockdown for Legacy Servers & Desktops

Despite strategic initiatives to remove them, many organisations have been left with legacy server and desktop systems within their infrastructure. Upgrades have proven to be too complex or costly, but the business still needs the applications, so they remain on the network. These unprotected systems are more vulnerable to attacks such as ransomware.

Our Legacy Systems Lockdown is a proven solution that provides complete lockdown at the core of the operating system with no impact to applications or business processes. Once deployed, the systems are highly secure and there is no need to patch them when a new attack or vulnerability surfaces. Our solution reduces both risk and operational costs for your business and there is no need to worry about these servers again until they are decommissioned.
