Case Study: Smarter IT Investment in a Tight Economy
See how Secure Strategic Technologies helped a professional services firm quickly lower phishing risk with CIS-based training and Microsoft 365 security hardening.
Small manufacturer renews cyber insurance after meeting stricter carrier requirements with SST’s help. Using CIS framework safeguards, the business implemented multi-factor authentication, immutable backups, and incident response planning. Result: Policy renewed with no deductible increase and improved security posture.
A complete and accurate asset inventory is essential for reducing cyber risk and supporting strong IT operations. This case study shows how SST helped a professional services firm uncover blind spots, retire redundant systems, and build a centralized source of truth aligned with CIS Controls 1 and 2. With full visibility in place, the organization strengthened security, improved audit readiness, and eliminated unnecessary costs.
SST transformed a vulnerable IT environment relying on a single aging server into a resilient architecture with redundant hardware, dual-WAN failover, and automated backups. The solution met strict two-hour recovery targets while eliminating single points of failure. Through proactive assessment and strategic planning, the firm now has business continuity protection aligned with operational goals.
A Midwest manufacturer eliminated inefficiencies and security gaps by consolidating two cloud platforms into Microsoft 365. With SST’s help, 21 users migrated seamlessly from Google Workspace, gaining stronger security with MFA and Defender, streamlined collaboration with Teams and SharePoint, and cost savings from retiring redundant licenses. The result was zero downtime, unified workflows and a secure foundation for growth.
