From 68.9% Center for Internet Security (CIS) failure rate to full compliance

Challenge

A multinational financial services firm with offices across Asia discovered that their newest Windows 11 device was failing nearly 70% of CIS Level 1 security controls. Legacy Windows 10 systems showed consistent misconfiguration across regions — no password policies, no audit logging, no attack surface reduction rules. Their in-house IT team had the expertise to manage daily operations but lacked specialized Intune and CIS hardening knowledge.

What We Did

  • Assessed corporate endpoints across two countries using IRIS methodology
  • Identified systemic gaps across 12 governance domains
  • Mapped 457 CIS Windows 11 v4.0.0 controls to Intune configuration profiles
  • Implemented hardened baselines with phased rollout
  • Delivered as-built documentation and knowledge transfer to internal IT team

Outcome

The entire environment was brought into CIS Level 1 compliance. The client's IT team received full documentation and training to maintain the hardened configuration going forward.

Government

Zero-touch Autopilot deployment across 500+ devices

Challenge

A government agency needed to provision 500+ devices across multiple offices without requiring IT staff to physically touch each machine. Existing imaging processes were taking 2-3 hours per device.

Outcome

Deployed Windows Autopilot with self-deploying mode, Enrollment Status Page, and automated app deployment. New devices now provision in under 30 minutes with zero IT intervention at remote sites.

Healthcare

Intune compliance + conditional access for HIPAA alignment

Challenge

A healthcare organization with M365 E5 licensing had no Intune compliance policies configured. Devices were unmanaged, and users could access patient data from personal devices without any restrictions.

Outcome

Configured Intune compliance policies, device enrollment restrictions, and conditional access policies to enforce managed device access. Integrated Defender for Endpoint risk signals into conditional access for real-time device health evaluation.

Manufacturing

Azure migration + Sentinel SOC monitoring

Challenge

A manufacturing company running on-premises file servers and aging infrastructure needed to migrate to Azure while establishing security monitoring for the first time. No existing SIEM or SOC capability.

Outcome

Migrated workloads to Azure with proper landing zone architecture. Deployed Microsoft Sentinel with custom detection rules, automated playbooks, and 24/7 SOC monitoring. Established vulnerability management baseline across all endpoints.

The Pattern Across Every Engagement

Regardless of industry, the same issues appear repeatedly. Most organizations are paying for Microsoft licensing that includes powerful security and management tools — but they are not configured.
