Key Outcomes:

Stronger compliance through alignment with Cyber Essentials+ and regulatory standards.
Reduced vulnerabilities via robust endpoint protection and vulnerability management.
Enhanced client and staff confidence with security embedded into daily operations.
While Spire have been working with razorblue on their IT infrastructure for over two years, they also made the proactive decision to extend the relationship by onboarding our Managed Security services.
Like most industries who are exposed to an increased threat they recognised that traditional reactive security approaches were no longer enough, and wanted to ensure their infrastructure was as robust as possible to limit any potential exposure.
They chose to work with a trusted provider who could offer round-the-clock monitoring, expert guidance, and a more strategic approach to cybersecurity.
Challenge:
Spire’s leadership team was aware of the risks facing their sector. Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting professional services industries, due to the volume and sensitivity of personal, financial, and data held. In addition to day-to-day threats like phishing and ransomware, Spire had to meet strict industry and compliance requirements — all while ensuring clients and staff had secure access to their systems.
They needed an experienced partner to help them strengthen their defences, reduce vulnerabilities, and take a proactive stance on security.
Solution:
With razorblue’s Managed Security services in place, Spire has taken a significant step forward in protecting their data, systems, and reputation. The firm now benefits from a layered, proactive security strategy that are managed razorblue’s cybersecurity team who understand the unique risk profile of legal firms.
- Through Prevent, vulnerabilities across endpoints are proactively managed, reducing risks and ensuring robust protection across their distributed workforce.
- With Detect+, Spire now has 24/7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) in place, enabling real-time threat identification and mitigation. The integration of SIEM ensures additional oversight across third-party applications and sensitive data.
- Assure+ has strengthened their alignment with Cyber Essentials+ and other compliance frameworks — an essential step for operating within strict regulatory environments.
With security baked into their broader IT strategy, they’ve reduced risk, improved compliance posture, and created a safer working environment for their team and clients.
razorblue delivered a comprehensive cybersecurity solution, we implemented robust endpoint protection and vulnerability management to reduce risk across Spire’s network and remote users.
Our in-house Security Operations Centre (SOC) provides 24/7 monitoring, with Managed Detection and Response (MDR) ensuring rapid identification and containment of threats. We also integrated SIEM capabilities to enhance visibility and protection across third-party applications and services.
In support of compliance goals, we guided Spire through achieving Cyber Essentials+ certification, embedding best-practice frameworks into their security strategy.
By working closely with Spire’s internal IT team, we established a cohesive and proactive security posture that meets both day-to-day operational demands and sector-specific risk requirements.
