Case Studies
Real Cybersecurity. Real Results.
Case Study 1 Securing a Small Business
A small professional services firm faced repeated phishing attempts and concerns over sensitive client data. With limited IT resources, they needed practical cybersecurity measures that wouldn’t disrupt daily operations.
We started by securing user accounts, enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), limiting administrative access, and removing inactive accounts. Email and domain protections were added, including DNS authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and anti-phishing policies.
Devices and data were secured through encryption, regular patching, and backups, while DNS-layer security helped block access to malicious websites. Employees received cybersecurity training to recognize and report suspicious emails.
Within weeks, phishing attempts were significantly reduced, and the business had a stronger security posture with clear processes for ongoing monitoring and incident response.
This case demonstrates that even small businesses can effectively protect themselves with practical, layered security measures combining technology, policy, and staff awareness.
Case Study 2Email Security for a Finance Company
We helped a mid-sized finance company strengthen email security, protect sensitive client data, and meet GS007 compliance requirements, all while maintaining productivity.
We conducted a comprehensive assessment of the company’s email infrastructure. We discovered that key domains had 0% DMARC compliance, leaving thousands of emails vulnerable to spoofing and phishing attacks. To address this, we implemented a phased approach, starting with monitoring to understand legitimate email flows, followed by systematic improvements to authentication mechanisms such as DKIM and SPF, carefully adjusting policies based on real-world email behaviour.
In parallel, employees received cybersecurity and phishing awareness training, focusing on recognising suspicious senders, links, and attachments. This strengthened the human layer of security while maintaining workflow efficiency.
Through this structured implementation, the primary domain achieved 96% DMARC compliance, and other domains reached 98%+ compliance, reducing potentially compromised emails from thousands to just a handful. These improvements not only mitigated security risks but also helped the company meet GS007 compliance standards.
By combining technical enhancements, policy updates, and user awareness, the finance company achieved a robust, balanced email security posture—protecting sensitive data, safeguarding client trust, and maintaining productivity across teams.
