Case Study: Leading Scottish Furniture Retailer secures Azure migration with Armor XDR+SOC

E-commerce furniture retailer securely transitions to public cloud

A family‑owned Scottish e‑commerce furniture retailer migrating its new online store from a hosted private cloud to Microsoft Azure faced significant security concerns: a small IT team with little Microsoft cloud experience, fear of lateral movement and business interruption, and recent industry breaches that highlighted the risk. The company needed an XDR capability backed by a 24/7 SOC to secure its cloud migration and protect ongoing trading.

Armor deployed and managed Microsoft Sentinel and its XDR+SOC service, ingesting Azure AD, Activity, SQL, Storage and WAF logs, applying proprietary detection rules, and continuously fine‑tuning alerts while educating the in‑house team. The partnership delivered faster detection and response, reduced effort to manage threats, improved threat visibility and situational awareness, and prevented attacks from impacting business operations — enabling a secure move to Azure to support e‑commerce growth.
