London – 23 May, 2017. Arkivum Ltd., a leading provider of long-term data safeguarding and data usability solutions, has announced its service has gone live on the UK public sector procurement framework G-Cloud 9. The new version of G-Cloud, the UK Government-sponsored Digital Marketplace, is intended to improve transparency and make it easier for public sector organisations to procure a wide variety of services.

Daniel Hickmore, Arkivum’s Vice President, Health, Life Sciences and Pharma, said: “The availability of the Arkivum 6 service on G-Cloud enables easy access to our modular solutions for long-term data safeguarding. We want to give UK public sector organisations a flexible alternative to the DIY approach, for those seeking to build in privacy by design and to provide 100% guaranteed data integrity - while avoiding costly dependencies on major vendors.”

With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) becoming EU law in May 2018, the advent of stricter regulations around personal data is imminent. Organisations of all sizes will now be accountable for the personal data they hold, process, or entrust to third parties. Public sector procurement frameworks like G-Cloud will help UK firms to meet GDPR and other new regulatory requirements across industries. From Financial Services, Healthcare, Pharma and Life Sciences, to diverse institutions such as libraries and museums, compliance with regulatory requirements and internal best practices concerning archived data has become a major technical challenge.

Designed with today’s compliance and data governance standards in mind, Arkivum 6 delivers six key elements for the proper long-term management of your critical data:

Safety – data security, integrity and safety to the highest standards, powered by Arkivum’s unrivalled 100% data integrity guarantee.

Making archived data usable – Arkivum 6 ensures data is accessible, usable and exploitable at all times. Arkivum 6 provides collaboration, sharing and search modules to allow organisations to exploit archived data both internally and externally.

Data sovereignty – Arkivum 6 provides absolute certainty over the sovereignty of organisations’ data. With Arkivum’s unique escrow solution, organisations enjoy full access to their data at any time and under any conditions, with no hidden costs.

Compliance – with Arkivum 6, organisations have peace of mind that their archived data and related processes are compliant with sector-specific and country-specific regulatory requirements.

End-to-end managed service - Arkivum 6 is designed to manage the complete archiving lifecycle fully, with the industry’s most predictable and transparent Total Cost of Ownership. Arkivum 6 can be deployed on-premise, or via public or private clouds, with minimal IT requirements.

Integration – Seamless pre-integration to live environments and data sources is essential to provide seamless workflows and consistent data transfer. Arkivum 6’s API ensures end-to-end workflows from the point data is generated to where data ultimately resides for many years.

The compliance modules now available with Arkivum 6 are designed to help alleviate these mission-critical concerns, within a managed service with predictable costs, that is platform-agnostic, scalable and engineered to meet the highest standards. Arkivum 6 is ISO 27001 certified, and already successfully deployed at key Arkivum customers.
