About iStorage

Let’s travel back in time to 2008. Remember that string of government officials who would lose laptops and unencrypted USB flash drives on trains and tapas bars, exposing sensitive data?

To refresh your memory, there was the Home Office’s contractor who lost a USB drive containing details on some 84,000 prisoners across England and Wales. That same year, a USB drive holding passwords for a government computer system was found in the car park of a pub. A portable hard drive holding details of up to 5,000 employees of the justice system was lost the year before.

And lest we forget the top-secret document entitled “Al-Qaeda Vulnerabilities” left on the seat of a train, or the Army captain’s laptop stolen from under his chair at McDonald’s. Although the laptop was fully encrypted, Whitehall banned its staff from taking unencrypted devices containing personal data outside secured office premises. The Armed Forces later told Parliament that in a period of four years 121 USB drives had gone astray and the Defence Secretary reported 747 laptops that had been stolen.

After reading about all these data loss incidents, iStorage CEO John Michael saw this was a clearly growing problem with damaging consequences and identified a huge gap in the market to establish a business offering ultra-secure, easy-to-use and affordable data storage devices. Applying his 33 years’ worth of knowledge and experience enabled John to come up with ideas for products that would resolve such problems.
