Case Study: International Recruiter

The company had a number of unique challenges, including remote workers, a diverse device inventory, and complex network configurations.

The company required assistance with reconciling this setup with the requirements of the accreditation.

With in-house Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus assessors, ToraGuard’s experts were able to support this aim.

Approach To Cyber Essentials Consultancy

With management of IT infrastructure in-house, ToraGuard acted purely as Cyber Essentials consultants for the company.

ToraGuard conducted a detailed consultancy session to ensure the company had all the necessary information to secure its systems according to the Cyber Essentials requirements.

Initial assessments revealed several gaps in their IT systems that needed addressing, notably technical issues with the One-Time Password (OTP) login mechanism.

ToraGuard was able to provide continuous guidance to internal teams on how security issues could be fixed. With this assistance, we were able to ensure the company developed sufficient protection.

Results

Through international collaboration, the recruitment firm successfully achieved a pass for Cyber Essentials.

ToraGuard’s consultancy has empowered the company to fortify its IT systems, helping to align with industry security standards and ensuring they were better prepared for future challenges and opportunities.

Achieving Cyber Essentials has since opened doors to UK-based tendering opportunities requiring this compliance and resulting financial success.
