Legal Non-Profit Uses Secure Content
Collaboration to Help Homeless Clients Protect Their Privacy
Intralinks® Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: IL), a global content
collaboration company for high value content and processes, today
announced that Three Rivers Legal Services (TRLS) relies on
Intralinks to securely store and share critical files containing
personally identifiable information (PII) of its clients. TRLS is a
non-profit law firm dedicated to the provision of quality legal
assistance to the poor, abused, disabled and neglected, and to
their empowerment through preventive legal education.
When you’re homeless, keeping track of your personal
identification, birth certificate, legal papers and other documents
is a major challenge that those who are not homeless take for
granted. While living on the streets and in shelters, homeless
people learn the hard way that theft, weather damage and incidental
losses are just a few of the things that destroy the important
papers they need to receive medical care, access to public
benefits, apply for jobs and ultimately build a path to independent
living. TRLS realized that the homeless needed a reliable, secure
and easy way to access their important documents.
"Traditionally, we stored legal documents and other files
belonging to our homeless clients on an internal case management
system,” said Mark Watson, homelessness outreach advocate, TRLS.
“When I was in the field working with people at libraries, parks,
shelters and government offices, I wasn't able to access these
files from my smartphone. And, mailing copies of these documents to
our homeless clients often was not possible.”
Initially, TRLS considered storing client documents on Google
Drive or Dropbox but became concerned about the security and
privacy issues with these cloud service providers. After a review
of options, TRLS selected Intralinks Now, lawyers at TRLS not only
have a secure and compliant cloud-based enterprise content
collaboration platform for hosting client documents, but also have
a secure address for delivery of these documents to their clients.
Further, their clients can access these documents from their
smartphones or tablets or can log into Intralinks from a computer
at a local library or other locations. Through Intralinks, TRLS’
clients have a solution with enterprise-grade security that they
can use to share documents with medical professionals, government
entities and others. Intralinks’ permission-based access controls
ensure that documents are only available to outside parties as and
when authorized.
“Intralinks is having a transformative impact on the lives of
homeless people,” said Christine Larson, executive director, TRLS.
"With Intralinks and our legal aid support, a client with a broken
leg who was living under a tree got access to documents that helped
him receive disability benefits and medical treatment. He
eventually secured an apartment and his entire life turned
around."
“The non-profit legal world values client privacy and security,
but still needs a safe way to store and share sensitive
information,” said Daren Glenister, field CTO, Intralinks. “Our
confidence in Intralinks enables the TRLS team to store sensitive
client information in a way that speeds positive outcomes for the
homeless population and provides economic benefits to the local
economy. The last thing this population needs is to have their PII
fall into the wrong hands. With Intralinks, TRLS can trust in its
ability to protect its clients’ sensitive information and
contribute significantly to transforming its clients’ lives.”
