Slip is a clothing manufacturing and retail business based in Brisbane, Australia. The company had already invested time and energy in its cyber security policies and holds cyber insurance through an Acrisure Agency Partner. With a limited staff and a business growing too rapidly to keep up with security on its own, Slip's head legal counsel, Caitlin, led the search for a provider that could take on the burden of protecting the organisation.

Slip was ahead of many businesses in that it had already spent time and energy on its cyber security policies. However, the company was not satisfied with its existing security solution and wanted to improve its cyber protection. Its cyber insurance renewal deadline was approaching quickly, and Slip needed to remain compliant and secure in time for the renewal.

During the discovery process, Acrisure Cyber Services (ACS) helped Slip identify holes in its defences, especially around email and mobile devices. The company's limited staff were growing too rapidly to keep up with security on their own, so the burden of monitoring and managing security needed to move to a specialist provider that could cover the full range of controls under one roof.

ACS was introduced to Slip by the Acrisure Agency Partner that provides the company's cyber insurance. After the discovery process, Caitlin and her team contracted with ACS for the full Security Blanket suite of services: multi-factor authentication (MFA), email security, advanced anti-virus, vulnerability management, SIEM, data backup and security awareness training.

With the cyber renewal deadline close, ACS implemented the full suite in a timely manner so that Slip could remain compliant and secure for its renewal. Once the services were fully in place, Slip worked with the ACS Security Operations team to customise notifications and configurations to fit its needs, and the ACS Security Operations Center (SOC) began monitoring the environment 24x7x365. These services relieved Slip's limited staff of the burden of security.

ACS continues to offer consultative services to help Slip increase its coverage as its improved cyber security policies mature. The improved security posture was delivered while saving Slip money compared with its previous security vendor.
