For companies like Rogers Labs, safeguarding data is critical. They work with prototypes and cutting-edge technology that hasn’t yet hit the market, and any breach could jeopardize their clients’ competitive edge. When it comes to data security, there’s no room for error—and that’s why they rely on MDL Technology.
At MDL, we’ve partnered with Rogers Labs to create a robust system that protects sensitive information while allowing them the flexibility they need to access data securely from anywhere in the world. Here’s how we ensure their data stays safe.
Why Data Security Is Non-Negotiable for Rogers Labs
Rogers Labs tests devices that are still in development, ranging from consumer electronics to highly specialized technologies. The data they generate and store is often the foundation of their clients’ success.
“The things we test aren’t on the market yet. If competitors were to get access to that information, it could give them a jumpstart and hurt our clients,” shared Patrick Powell, co-owner of Rogers Labs.
The Stakes Are High
- Protecting Prototypes: Many of the devices Rogers Labs tests are in the early stages of production, making confidentiality a top priority.
- Long-Term Recordkeeping: Regulatory bodies like the FCC may require test data years after it was collected. Losing this information isn’t an option.
- Global Access Needs: Rogers Labs’ team often travels internationally and requires secure, reliable access to their data from anywhere.
How MDL Handles Data Security
When Rogers Labs acquired their lab, they inherited a local storage system. While it worked for a time, it wasn’t scalable or secure enough to meet their growing needs. Enter MDL Technology.
“We were hesitant to move to the cloud, but MDL walked us through the process, showing us how to implement the right precautions to ensure data security,” Patrick explained.
Building a Secure and Scalable System
- Transitioning to Cloud Storage
Moving from local storage to the cloud was a significant step. MDL guided Rogers Labs through the process, implementing measures to ensure their data was protected at every stage.- Encryption: All data is encrypted during transfer and storage, making it inaccessible to unauthorized users.
- Multi-Factor Authentication: Access to the system requires multiple layers of verification, adding an extra layer of protection.
- Global Accessibility
One of the key advantages of the new system is its flexibility. Whether Rogers Labs is working from their Kansas City headquarters or attending meetings in Taiwan, their team can securely access the data they need.
“I need to be able to get the same file in Taiwan as I can here. MDL made that possible while keeping everything secure,” Patrick said.
- Ongoing Monitoring and Support
Data security isn’t a one-and-done process. MDL continuously monitors the system to identify and address potential threats, ensuring Rogers Labs’ data remains safe.
The Balance Between Security and Accessibility
For Rogers Labs, the biggest hurdle in transitioning to a cloud-based system was trusting that it could be secure. With MDL’s guidance, they found the right balance between accessibility and protection.
“We rely on MDL to take us in the right direction. With their reassurance and precautions, the cloud became the right solution for us,” Patrick noted.

Data security is a challenge every business faces, but MDL’s tailored approach ensures that each client gets a solution built for their specific needs. Rogers Labs’ success highlights how the right partnership can make all the difference.
