Linko Vectis
Digital IT

Linko Vectis Digital IT is how we set up and manage our own technology, in house and cloud-first. A supplier whose own laptops are unmanaged is a risk to every system it can reach.

It is not a service we sell. It is the standard behind Valacia and every application we build.

The Whole Estate

Managed Entirely In House

Designed As One

Linked From Day One

Every part of our IT was designed from day one to work as one integrated system, because we manage all of it ourselves.

Our devices, email, identity and Google Cloud estate are linked by design, and every one of them was built with security in mind.

Zero-Touch Deployment
A new laptop can go straight to whoever needs it and set itself up from the cloud when they first sign in.
Email
We manage our email ourselves, and it sits behind the same sign-in and access rules as the rest of our IT.
Identity And Access Management (IAM)
Our people's accounts, groups, permissions and admin roles are all set up, changed and removed by us.
Device And Cloud Policies
The rules we set reach each laptop and phone we work on, and extend across every Google Cloud project we own.

Devices And Sign-Ins

How We Close The Easy Ways In

Attackers commonly get in through an unmanaged laptop, a stolen password or an account with more access than it needs.

We maintain absolute sovereign governance over our entire internal IT infrastructure, including endpoint devices, leveraging our Cloud Engineering Director's enterprise IT experience.

Devices

Enrolled Before First Use

Every device we work on is enrolled in our device management and configured centrally before anyone signs in on it. From then on its settings come from us, and it stays managed until it leaves service.

  • Laptops And Phones Alike
  • Managed From The Cloud
  • Looked After Until Retired

Identity And Email

One Identity System For Our People

Our people sign in to everything, email included, through one identity system. Each sign-in needs multi-factor authentication, a second check beyond the password, and access rules decide who can reach what. Access is granted and removed in one place.

  • Admin Accounts Kept Separate
  • Multi-Factor On Every Sign-In
  • Rules On Who Reaches What

Updates And Access

Patched On A Schedule We Set

We roll out updates on a schedule we decide. Our people reach Google Cloud, where our software runs, through the same sign-in and the same rules, and nobody's access goes further than their work needs.

  • Single Sign-On Into Google Cloud
  • The Same Rules Throughout
  • Least Access The Work Needs

Held In House

We Configure Our Own Systems

We set up every device and account ourselves. We know exactly how each one is configured, and we answer for every setting on it.

  • Admin Rights Stay With UsOnly our own people hold administrator rights over our devices, accounts and security controls.
  • Ready Wherever The Work IsCloud-first means a laptop is configured over the internet and works the same way at a desk, at home or on a train.
  • Changed On Our TimetableSettings and access rules change only when we decide.

Access And Apps

Enterprise-Grade Controls On Our Internal Apps

Our own IT uses enterprise-grade security controls. For our applications they do two jobs: they decide who is allowed in, and they protect company data inside the apps that hold it.

No App Opens Until The Checks Pass

Before one of our people can open an internal application, its access rules check three things. If any check fails, the application stays closed.

The Person
Who is signing in, and whether that application is one we have given them.
The Device
The laptop or phone has to be one we manage, and it has to meet our rules.
The Sign-In
The sign-in needs its second check as well as the password.

Company Data

Protected Inside Approved Apps

We decide which apps are allowed to hold company data. Inside those apps it is protected by rules we set and manage.

No Lead Times

Our Internal Applications Delivered Rapidly

In House, End To End

From Idea To Every Device

Because every part of our IT is in our own hands, we can build, package, deploy and update our internal apps rapidly, without waiting on lead times from anyone else.

A new tool can go from idea to every device that needs it without the work leaving the company.

Build
Designed and engineered in house.
Package
Prepared by us for the laptops and phones that need it.
Deploy
Rolled out from the cloud, so nobody has to install anything by hand.
Update
Improvements go out the same way, as soon as they are ready.

That matters for your software too: whatever we build and manage for you gets the same discipline and the same speed.

Your Software Too

The Same Controls Behind Our Software

Valacia and every application we build are made on these devices, under these sign-in rules.

Anyone on our side who can reach the Valacia platform or your company's project uses a device we enrolled. They sign in through a system we control, with a second check every time.

The software itself runs on Google Cloud, chosen for its security and its ability to scale with demand.

Questions

Questions About How We Work

Do You Offer IT Support To Other Businesses?

No. Linko Vectis Digital IT is how we manage our own technology. We sell Valacia and custom SaaS applications, and on our side both are reached only through the same device, sign-in and access controls as our own systems.

Managed IT for other businesses is something we are considering. It is on our roadmap, with no date.

Why Does This Matter If I Am Buying Software From You?

Because every device and account that can reach your application is a possible way in. On our side, we control every one of them.

Is Valacia Managed The Same Way?

Yes. The platform behind Valacia was built and is managed in house on Google Cloud, using the same devices and the same sign-in rules.
