VPN & Remote Access Basildon FAQ

What's the difference between VPN and Splashtop?

A VPN extends your office network to the user's device. Splashtop (and similar) lets the user remote into a physical PC sat in the office. VPN is better for moving files; Splashtop is better for running heavy software that won't run well on a laptop.

Is VPN still needed if we use Microsoft 365?

Often yes — if you have on-premise file servers, line-of-business applications, or accounting software that lives in the office. For pure cloud-only setups, conditional access and MFA may be enough without a VPN.

Can remote access be made safe enough for compliance?

Yes. With MFA, conditional access, device compliance policies and proper VPN configuration, remote access can meet Cyber Essentials and most regulatory requirements (GDPR, ISO 27001, etc.).
