Security Hardening and XDR Deployment — Investment Management

Microsoft Secure Score improved from 34 to 76. Acronis XDR deployed across all endpoints. Email security, DLP, and security awareness training activated for full-stack protection.

Full-stack Acronis protection active. Regulatory review passed. Ongoing XDR monitoring and quarterly security reviews established.

The Challenge

No security baseline, weak identity controls, M365 configuration gaps, no EDR/XDR, and an upcoming regulatory review.

Our Approach

Acronis XDR deployment, email security, DLP, SAT, Azure AD hardening, Secure Score programme, and security policy pack. Delivered over 10 weeks.

An investment management firm required an improved security posture ahead of a regulatory review. The organization had no formal security baseline, weak identity controls, significant Microsoft 365 configuration gaps, and no endpoint detection or response capability.

InsightX conducted a security assessment using the Microsoft Secure Score and Acronis Security Posture Management frameworks. A structured hardening programme was delivered over 10 weeks:

— Acronis Advanced Security + XDR deployed across all endpoints
— AI-guided incident analysis with single-click remediation and recovery
— MITRE ATT&CK-mapped threat detection and investigation
— Acronis Email Security protecting against phishing, BEC, spoofing, and zero-day email threats
— Data Loss Prevention (DLP) configured for sensitive data classification
— Security Awareness Training (SAT) with phishing simulations
— Azure AD / Entra ID hardening with Conditional Access and MFA
— Microsoft Secure Score improvement programme (34 to 76 out of 100)
— Security policy and procedure pack for regulatory review
— SIEM Connector configured for log export

Acronis XDR achieved a perfect 6.0/6.0 AV-TEST performance score and the organization passed its regulatory review.
