UK’s largest peer-to-peer loan company Zopa use C4L Colo & Connectivity in compliance with data protection
(PRWEB UK) 23 January 2015 -- As a fast growing company Zopa has sensibly prioritised efficient IT infrastructure as business critical and as a company that specialises in online lending, they deal with sensitive data which requires a responsibility to be in accordance with data protection acts.
Zopa now benefit from a large bandwidth and super-fast 100mbps Leased Line from their HQ to the C4L network where a fast, private and secure circuit runs between Zopa’s Data Centres, forming a unified solution. This is to safeguard their customers’ data even further through a Disaster Recovery site.
Matt McGuire, Zopa’s CTO said: “We are very pleased with the service we have received from C4L and the solution they have created for us. Our customers’ data is extremely secure and in terms of our business, the private circuits will ensure open access efficiency between our office and Data Centres.”
Darren Mountifield, Account Manager at C4L, said: “It is great that Zopa have taken the right steps to ensure their customers’ data is protected to the highest level. A large bandwidth private circuit and secure colocation is an idyllic IT infrastructure for a company dealing with large amounts of sensitive data, their customers should be reassured by their steps. To work with a likeminded company saving customers money is something we are proud of.”
Zopa has grown significantly – doubling lending annually since 2009 - due to being the world’s first peer-to-peer lending company having now lent over £715m. They allow people to bypass banks and their high charges, to put more back in to the pockets of UK’s consumers.
