Case Study Beech Web Services

Beech Web Services is a team of dedicated and experienced sustainable website and integrated digital marketing specialists. Much more than web designers or developers, they are marketers who plan, manage and implement a wide variety of website and digital marketing projects to add value to every organisation.

Intro to Partnership

Beech have been Connectus clients since 2019. As the size of the team increased and included virtual workers as well as office staff, it became more important to ensure the technical infrastructure was up to standard.

The Issue

As part of our managed services engagement, Beech Web Services approached us with a clear objective: to ensure their cyber‑security posture aligned with recognised best practices and could support the organisation’s future growth. To achieve this, we conducted a comprehensive security audit, reviewing their existing infrastructure, policies, controls, and operational processes. This assessment allowed us to identify strengths within their current setup as well as several areas requiring improvement to reduce risk and enhance resilience. Following the audit, we developed a detailed remediation proposal outlining the recommended actions, prioritised by risk level and business impact, to ensure all concerns were addressed and the client could move forward with a robust, secure, and future‑ready environment.

The Solution

The solution involved reviewing Beech Web Services existing environment against recognised security baselines to ensure all minimum standards were being met. During this process, we identified several opportunities to enhance protection, streamline operations, and remove unnecessary complexity. We improved Beech Web Services licensing structure to ensure all security features were correctly enabled, eliminated redundant licences, and restructured accounts and permissions to align with best‑practice principles. These changes not only strengthened Beech Web Services overall cyber‑security posture but also ensured they were only paying for what they needed, while maintaining full flexibility as their user count evolves.

The Results

Following the audit, the findings highlighted several areas for improvement within Beech Web Serives existing setup, particularly around security controls, licensing structure, and operational flexibility. Working closely with Beech Web Services, Connectus implemented the recommended changes, ensuring each risk was addressed and the environment aligned with best‑practice standards. These enhancements not only strengthened the client’s overall cyber‑security posture but also introduced greater flexibility in managing user counts and streamlined their licensing approach, resulting in a more secure, scalable, and efficient IT environment.
