Case Study
Enhancing security and agility through cloud migration
A Leeds manufacturer — Manufacturing / E-Commerce — Leeds — 25+ employees
After a free network audit revealed significant infrastructure, compliance and security issues, iTVerse devised a comprehensive digital transformation plan for this established Leeds manufacturer.
This was a full Microsoft 365 and cloud infrastructure project. See our dedicated M365 resource at m365powered.com.
Aging infrastructure
A 2012 server estate — a security risk and a blocker to digital transformation.
No MFA or strong passwords
No multi-factor authentication and weak password policies across the business.
Poor document management
No central, accessible file storage — remote work was difficult and collaboration inefficient.
Weak internet gateway
Minimal perimeter protection — unused services left open and unmonitored.
Cyber Essentials
Full guided certification — assessing security measures, identifying vulnerabilities and implementing all required changes.
Azure AD Migration
The aging 2012 infrastructure replaced with Azure AD — a secure, cloud-based foundation for identity management.
Update & Password Policies
Automatic updates deployed across all devices and strong password requirements enforced for every account.
SharePoint Migration
Documents migrated to SharePoint — enabling secure remote access and collaboration from anywhere.
MFA Rollout
Multi-Factor Authentication enforced across all user accounts, significantly reducing unauthorised access risk.
Firewall Audit
Comprehensive review — unused and unnecessary services identified and closed, attack surface minimised.
Cyber Essentials certified
Full government-backed certification achieved from a standing start.
Modern infrastructure
Azure AD replaced the aging estate, providing a scalable secure foundation.
Remote work enabled
SharePoint gave employees secure, flexible file access from anywhere.
Hardened perimeter
Firewall audit closed unused services and minimised the attack surface.
Secure tenant segregation
Sensitive information protected with proper network segregation.
