MIRIS International operates in some of the most dangerous waters around the globe providing armed protection teams to a range of commercial and private shipping organisations.

With The PC Support Group’s help, individual devices are configured to deliver highly confidential internal emails to MIRIS teams in support of their operations. “We can never be without them,” he said.
The PC Support Group’s Operations Director Simon Albert, who oversees the delivery of the service package, explained that to maintain 24/7 operations the team at The PC Support Group uses latest cloud based infrastructure that is fully compliant with world-class industry standards including ISO 27001, EU Model clauses, HIPAA BAA, and FISMA, and verified by third-party auditors.
