North & Ink Upgrades Enterprise Security Infrastructure

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UNITED KINGDOM — October 27, 2026 — Northandink.com, a premier graphic design and digital operations company, has announced a comprehensive overhaul of its corporate infrastructure. Driven by a commitment to robust digital privacy and advanced data protection that surpasses traditional enterprise offerings, the North & Ink team has successfully integrated the Proton Business Suite across all operations.

As part of this rollout, the company has established a specialized multi-domain identity system alongside upgraded server policy controls to safeguard client assets, proprietary designs, and day-to-day communications.

Segmented Multi-Domain & Privacy Identity Architecture

To protect core operations from data profiling, spam, and vector attacks, North & Ink has deployed a dedicated three-tier domain structure:

Primary Web Platform (northandink.com): Serves as the central hub for all services and public client interactions. All secondary web properties now feature seamless 301 redirects directly to northandink.com to maintain domain authority and brand unity.
Proton Pass Alias Domain (northandink.net): Dedicated exclusively to generating high-security identity aliases within Proton Pass, keeping operational logins decoupled from public communication vectors.
Masked Operations Domain (securenorth.xyz): Utilized strictly for masked, high-sensitivity operational emails where complete transactional anonymity is required.

Enhanced Security Infrastructure & Protocols

To guarantee total system integrity across remote and local operations, North & Ink has enforced mandatory security policies:

Proton Pass Enforcement: Access to internal business services is restricted to team members logged into their secure Proton Pass credentials.
Strict Server VPN Policy: Corporate servers are guarded by a strict network policy requiring employee connections to run through the company’s secure server VPN.
Dedicated & Masked Email Routing: Every staff member is assigned a primary employee email alongside masked email capabilities via securenorth.xyz for sensitive workflows.
Zero-Access Encryption: All official correspondence is managed via Proton’s encrypted email infrastructure.

Redesigned Storage Architecture & Sandbox Segregation

North & Ink has cleanly split its data environments into distinct isolation zones:

Proton Drive (Primary Storage): Holds all client documents, contracts, core business records, and sensitive files under zero-access, end-to-end encryption.
OneDrive (Utility Sandbox): Repurposed solely as a restricted Utility Sandbox for non-sensitive testing, utility tasks, and temporary workspace needs.

Modernized Collaboration & Help Desk Operations

Default Meeting Platform – Proton Meet: All virtual sessions now default to Proton Meet for end-to-end encrypted video conferencing. Clients may still request Microsoft Teams meetings when required, while core creation workflows continue on standard Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel).
New Help Desk Partner (commslayer): All inbound customer support inquiries sent to hello@northandink.com are now processed via commslayer, North & Ink's new support platform partner.
