News New managed IT, comms and
document management provider ESPRIA, a new name in the UK managed services sector brings together Mode Solutions, a provider of digital managed services with IT Managed Services provider, eacs, which it acquired in June 2022.
The new business is a culmination of managed IT, cloud, communications and connectivity, hybrid/remote working and document solutions under one brand and one supplier. Alex Tupman, CEO of Espria, said: “Business leaders are stuck between a rock and a hard place, on the one hand, desperate to continue recovery, and on the other, facing economic uncertainty. How can organisations increase revenue and capitalise on opportunities at a time when they are financially constrained and facing a highly unpredictable future? The answer for many organisations is to actively outsource elements of their operations allowing them time to focus on their customers to drive business forward, without major long-term investment or risk.”
“As we come out of one crisis, and now face cost of living challenges, companies are placing a higher reliance on tools to communicate and collaborate online to realise better value. In tandem, customer demands have pushed businesses to embrace new technologies, including hybrid working, which offer faster and more convenient experiences. Many organisations struggle to deliver this effectively, which is why outsourcing has become the most viable option. Espria was born to address this challenge, bringing together best-in-class providers under a single brand.”
“In essence, business leaders can focus on what matters most for them – managing built-up debt, reducing costs and growing revenues, safe in the knowledge their IT infrastructure is operating efficiently and securely,” concluded Tupman.

A FREE VERSION OF BEYOND ENCRYPTION’S Mailock email encryption solution will provide users with encrypted and authenticated comms. While Mailock already offers free read and reply to end-users, the new free version will offer users 5 secure mails a month to send messages and attachments to providers, advisers or consumers without relying on them to send a message first. This free version of Mailock will secure messages with the same military-grade encryption offered to current premium licence holders, along with enabling senders to integrate Mailock with Microsoft Outlook and identify their intended recipient using a question & answer authentication method. For those wanting to send more than 5 secure emails a month and unlock additional features such as sender company branding, SMS recipient authentication, email recall, trigger words and more, there will be an option to upgrade.

worldwide increase in digital activity leading to exponential growth in cybercrime, businesses across all sectors are realising the need to protect both their and their customers’ information while interacting online.
Paul Holland, CEO and Founder of Beyond Encryption, said: “Our goal is to make digital security accessible and affordable for all. We realised we weren’t fulfilling our responsibility as a cybersecurity company unless we gave consumers a way to securely send their documents to companies rather than just receiving them. Communication is a two-way street, and both ends need to be secure.” Paul continued: “No responsible organisation would want their customers to jeopardise the privacy of their information, but that is exactly what they are doing by allowing them to send confidential or personally identifiable data without any form of encryption or security. By extending Mailock to offer protected comms to all, we also extend our customers’ duty of care, ensuring they align with ICO guidance and strengthening the secure network we are building across the market.”
