The Background
At The Lines Between, every research project is a step towards positive social change, particularly for communities and marginalised groups. As their projects grew in scale and complexity, it became clear they needed an IT upgrade that wouldn’t disrupt their essential work. That’s where SoConnect came in, ready to streamline their operations with minimal fuss.

Rolling Out Premium IT User Support: Established to ensure continuous operations, with expert support available 24/7 to resolve any IT issues swiftly.
Boosting Cyber Security: Introduced a robust security strategy, including Email Security, DNS Protection, Password Management, Awareness Training, and EDR, to protect sensitive research data against cyber threats and keep the company Cyber Essentials compliant.
Streamlining Onboarding: We carefully planned and executed the onboarding process to ensure a smooth transition. Our team worked hand-in-hand with The Lines Between to tailor the IT setup to their specific needs, ensuring that every step from initial setup to full deployment was clear, straightforward, and hassle-free.
