EVOLVING IT & SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

IT and security requirements for legal firms do not stand still, and neither should the technology protecting them.

For more than a decade, Hansel Henson has partnered with Stripe OLT to continually enhance and mature its IT estate, ensuring its technology evolves alongside the needs of the business.

As cyber threats and compliance requirements intensified, the partnership also evolved to further strengthen Hansel Henson’s Microsoft 365 security posture, helping the firm remain resilient against emerging threats and the demands of a modern legal environment.

This long-standing partnership has delivered continuous improvements across visibility, protection, governance, and response capabilities, ensuring security continues to keep pace with an evolving threat landscape.
Specifically, they were looking for a partner to fulfil the following requirements:

➡️ 24/7 continuous monitoring and threat visibility

➡️ Detection and response capabilities

➡️ Strong identity and access controls

➡️ Clear reporting and strategic oversight

➡️ Alignment to best practice frameworks

Without proactive monitoring and threat detection, these areas had the potential to increase operational pressure internally and elevate the risk of cyber disruption.

Operational Security Visibility

As Hansel Henson’s Microsoft environment expanded across users, endpoints, cloud services and third-party integrations, maintaining consistent visibility and control across the environment became increasingly important.
Key operational focus areas included:
  • Visibility of threats across Microsoft 365 environments
  • Protection against phishing, spoofing and malware threats
  • Improved oversight of identity and access activity
Without proactive monitoring and threat detection, these areas had the potential to increase operational pressure internally and elevate the risk of cyber disruption

THE SOLUTION

Stripe OLT implemented a Managed Security Operations Service aligned to Hansel Henson’s environment and risk profile This includes:

Always-on monitoring and response

  • 24/7 monitoring of Office 365 logging and alerting to detect threats in real time
  • Cyber-attack incident management, including investigation, containment, and deep-dive forensics

Cloud security optimisation

  • Management of Secure Score across Azure and Microsoft 365, with ongoing improvement recommendations
  • Monitoring of external access requests and cloud applications (OAuth) to reduce risk exposure

Identity and access protection

  • Monitoring of all user accounts to enforce best practice (MFA, identity management, role-based access)
  • Privileged Identity Management (PIM) and reporting to identify stale accounts and weak credentials

Email and attack surface protection

  • Management of Exchange Online security, including anti-malware and anti-spoofing best practices Management of DNS security controls (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) to strengthen email protection

Proactive threat management

  • Continuous identification of vulnerabilities and security
  • gaps through proactive monitoring
“We’re responsible for safeguarding highly sensitive client information. Having Stripe OLT protecting that environment is essential to maintaining the trust our clients place in us.”
