York Road Project

Following an initial meeting and fact find, we prepared a proposal to alleviate the ongoing issues, by decommissioning the physical server and proposed the implementation of Azure Active Directory (AAD) and Microsoft Intune. By leveraging these cloud-based solutions, we aimed to address their concerns comprehensively and provide a secure, scalable, and efficient environment for their network management, user account control, and device management needs. 

To ensure a robust access control system, we recommended the adoption of Azure Active Directory. By implementing AAD, the company would have the ability to manage user accounts effectively, granting access only to individuals with active organisational email accounts.  

To streamline device management and enforce best practices, we proposed the use of Microsoft Intune. This solution allowed for centralised management of local device policies, including password strength enforcement and administrator privileges. By utilising Intune, the company could easily and efficiently update and secure devices, ensuring that all systems were up to date and aligned with the organisation’s security protocols. 

Following approval of the initial project, we also performed a full audit and review of their SharePoint site. The structure was problematic and user permissions were difficult to audit and manage, creating a GDPR headache! Joanne approved a proposal allowing us to rebuild and restructure their data in line with GDPR regulations, enabling the York Road Project to maintain control over user access to devices and protect sensitive data from unauthorised exposure.
