Access One has launched its brand new website, providing a fresh, accessible place for people to book scaffolding services. The website provides visitors with all of the information needed to be able to select the right scaffolding for their business or residential needs. The website features key information on the types of scaffolding and machinery available to help customers make the best selection for their requirements.

The new website marks an exciting new chapter for the New Zealand building company, which goes back over 30 years. The company started out as ‘All Alloy’, supplying Aluminium Mobile towers to the construction industry in Auckland. Over the years, the company has seen a number of changes, eventually becoming Access One (or ‘A1’ as it's known by customers), and providing a range of scaffolding services.

Access One Scaffolding is a family-owned business, employing around 40 permanent staff between its Auckland and Hamilton branches. All employees are directly employed by A1, helping the company provide fast and effective service to its customers. Employees are at the heart of Access One’s work, and there is a huge drive to provide regular training to employees to ensure skills stay strong, with health and safety being a top priority for the business.

The aluminium system used by Access One is manufactured by the company itself and is regularly tested to ensure quality and durability. This provides assurance to customers and is a mark of the business’ commitment to providing exceptional services.

In addition to the launch of its new website, Access One has also launched a new Handy Scaff hire service. Handy Scaff is a mobile aluminium tower that can be modified for use for all kinds of maintenance, construction and DIY jobs. It’s a lightweight, easy to use system that enables users to carry out jobs easily, and is available in a range of sizes. The Handy Scaff can be collected or delivered and erected by one of Access One’s skilled and capable team. As a solution to help make scaffolding jobs simpler, Handy Scaff is already generating a lot of interest from both commercial and residential customers.

Access One is a recognised and trusted business in New Zealand. With years of experience offering professional scaffolding services, you can rest assured that Access One can satisfy all scaffolding needs. The new website aims to provide customers with more insight into the business, as well provide a clearer overview of its services. Customers can obtain a hassle-free quote via the website, or get in touch with Access One by phone to get further details on hire costs and delivery.

Unplanned Downtime and Systems Outages Increase Costs, Affecting 58% of Respondents 

CLEVELAND, Ohio –March 17, 2020– Keyfactor, the leader in securing digital identities, and the Ponemon Institute today released the 2020 UK edition of “The Impact of Unsecured Digital Identities”, a benchmark report exploring enterprises’ ability to manage increasing numbers of cryptographic keys and digital certificates securing network connections.

Regulatory measures such as GDPR put focus on data privacy at design, tightening requirements and guiding IT security controls like Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Continued adoption of IoT, cloud and mobile technologies are increasing the number of digital certificates and keys that ensure secure connections and identity authentication through PKI. 

“This research demonstrates that despite heightened compliance focus, businesses struggle to manage foundational security like PKI and the tools and processes that maintain it. This is concerning, especially as the number of digital certificates and keys within enterprise continues to multiply,” said Chris Hickman, chief security officer at Keyfactor.

Half of respondents indicate regulatory compliance as a strategic priority and two-thirds say their organisation is adding additional layers of encryption to comply with regulations and IT policies. However, undocumented or unenforced key management policies are problematic, with respondents averaging more than four failed audits or compliance experiences in the last 24 months. 

“Less than half of respondents say they have sufficient staff dedicated to PKI,” said Hickman. “A lack of program ownership, combined with the constant care and feeding that digital identities need, has introduced new risk, creating an exposure epidemic. Unless leaders invest in in-house processes and outsourced resources to manage PKI, enterprise will risk failed audits, fines and worse, a security breach.”

Additional key findings reveal:

• A rise in security incidents: on average, organisations experienced a Certificate Authority (CA) or rogue man-in-the-middle (MITM) and/or phishing attack four times in the last 24 months, facing a 32% likelihood of a MITM or phishing attack over the next 24 months.

• Staffing shortages: on average, 15% of IT security budget is spent on PKI deployment annually, yet just 43% of respondents say their organisation has enough IT security staff members dedicated to PKI deployment.

• Lack of visibility: 70% of respondents say their organisation does not know how many digital certificates and keys it has within the business.

• Cryptography related security incidents undermine trust: 68% of respondents say failure to secure keys and certificates undermines the trust their organisation relies upon to operate.

• Cryptography lacks a center of excellence: despite the rising cost of PKI and growth of cryptography-related incidents, just 40% of companies have the ability to drive enterprise-wide best practice.

• Spending trend:represented organisations are spending an average of £37M on IT security annually, with £1.37M dedicated to PKI.

“Our 2019 reportin North America was a wake-up call in many ways – it was the first report of its kind to investigate the role that digital certificates and keys play in creating trust and supporting security,” said Dr. Larry Ponemon, founder of the Ponemon Institute. "This year we expanded the report’s boundaries to examine the state of PKI within the United Kingdom. While UK-based organisations score slightly higher than their North American peers on overall PKI program management, they’re struggling in compliance-related categories, which may expose greater operational and security risk.”

The study was conducted by Ponemon Institute on behalf of Keyfactor and included responses from more than 400 IT and IT security practitioners in the United Kingdom across 14 industries including: financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail and automotive.
