This is a representative composite case study based on common SME environments. It is not presented as a named client claim.
The challenge
Partners and staff worked across office, court, home and client locations. Device ownership, administrator access and conditional access rules were inconsistent.
The security approach
The representative project establishes an identity and device baseline, requires MFA, removes standing administrator rights, enforces encryption and introduces conditional access aligned to managed devices.
The outcome
The firm gains a more defensible access model and clearer evidence that sensitive matter data is accessed through known identities and managed endpoints.
Protecting access rather than only the office
For mobile professional services firms, the security boundary is identity and device trust. The work therefore prioritises authentication, device compliance and privileged access before adding more perimeter tools.
