VPN & Remote Access Suffolk

Trusted VPN & Remote Access for businesses in Suffolk

Secure VPN and Splashtop remote access solutions so your team can work safely from home, on-site or on the move.

Secure remote access for Suffolk's mobile and hybrid workforces

Remote-access work across Suffolk clusters around a handful of real patterns. Port of Felixstowe logistics operators need drivers, customs agents and operations staff reaching core systems from cabs, yards and home offices without opening the network up. Professional services firms in Ipswich and Bury run hybrid rotas where laptops must work identically from the office and the kitchen table. Woodbridge marine businesses and Suffolk coast surveyors genuinely work offline for hours and need sessions that reconnect cleanly.

We deploy always-on VPN for contract clients who want the secure tunnel running invisibly, and on-demand client VPNs for smaller teams who prefer to connect only when needed. Both are paired with MFA and — where clients are on Microsoft 365 Business Premium or higher — conditional access policies that check device compliance before granting access. For cloud-first Suffolk SMEs we often skip the traditional VPN entirely and deliver Zero Trust access via Entra ID, which is cleaner to administer and tougher to abuse.

VPN & Remote Access 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.).
