  • Enforce data loss prevention measures on all devices.
  • Legacy and out of support platform need to be decommissions and production services migrated.

With this requirement in place, Chartered Accountants Ireland needed the help of a trusted technology adviser, as it lacked the in-house expertise and resources to build a complete strategy and implement the solutions itself.

Solution

Implementing multiple solutions at a fast pace

Our engagement with Chartered Accountants Ireland began with a comprehensive series of workshops, aimed at gaining a deep understanding of the existing Office 365 tenant configurations. In parallel with this, Dublin Tech Solutions (DTS) meticulously examined the results of the audit, creating a strategic implementation plan that would place the utmost emphasis on resolving the identified security vulnerabilities.

Dublin Tech Solutions took swift action to secure the Institutes digital landscape by implementing the below:

  • Enabled device management with Intune
  • Enhanced device security and patching
  • Updated end-of-support windows 10 OS
  • Deployed symantec antivirus software
  • Enabled Mobile Device Enrollment and Management with Intune
  • Implemented conditional access and app restriction policies for data loss prevention
  • Blocked USB storage access for data loss prevention

Specifically, the organization had Microsoft 365's E3 license, which offers adequate security features, including multi-factor authentication and conditional access. Security was especially important, as the Institute deals with the personal information of the people it supports.

Because of the tight three-month timeline and constantly evolving scope of work, Dublin Tech Solutions experts used an agile method to ensure the multiple implementation streams were progressing on schedule.

These challenges underscore DTS's dedication
to addressing complex issues and delivering an efficient solution within a limited time frame.
