Client Snapshot

The Challenge

The client, a global leader in education, faced rising cyber risks and an aging IT infrastructure. Without clear visibility into vulnerabilities, they risked disruptions that could affect learners and operations worldwide.

Key pain points include:

• No unified visibility of IT assets and patching status
• Vulnerabilities in AWS configuration and on-prem infra
• Limited logging & monitoring capabilities
• Compliance concerns for international learners and partners

‍Our Approach

Soffit partnered with the client to design and implement a future-ready IT infrastructure using its Cybersecurity Healthcheck. Our strategy focused on:

• Vulnerability assessment- full scan of infra, network, endpoints
• AWS Secure configuration review- strengthened cloud posture
• Infrastructure and systems review- hardware/software optimization
• Applications review- security, logging, and monitoring gaps
• Patch & asset management- improved visibility & coverage
• Governance process check- validated IT support processes

Business Outcome

The client significantly improved the security and reliability of their IT infrastructure by implementing Soffit’s recommendations:

• Enhanced Security Posture: Vulnerabilities were addressed, reducing the risk of data breaches and operational disruptions.
•  Optimized IT Operations: Strengthened IT systems allowed for seamless and secure educational operations.
• Proactive Risk Management: The client gained confidence in their ability to mitigate future threats through improved security protocols.

This project demonstrates how future-ready IT isn’t just about upgrading infrastructure — it’s about enabling agility, resilience, and innovation in business.
