Secure remote working for a growing accountancy practice

The challenge

Staff accessed client records from home on mixed personal and company devices without consistent MFA or endpoint standards, increasing compliance risk.

What we delivered

• Audited user permissions, remote access paths and backup coverage.
• Rolled out multi-factor authentication and conditional access policies.
• Standardised company laptops with encrypted storage and patch management.
• Implemented monitored backup for key file shares and accounting platforms.

Business improvements

• Improved secure remote working for staff handling sensitive financial data.
• Reduced risk of unauthorised access to client records.
• Clearer support path for remote staff experiencing connectivity issues.
