Case Study: Liontrust strengthens security and compliance with Kocho and Microsoft 365

Microsoft security suite pays dividends for a UK asset management company’s security posture

Liontrust, a UK and Europe-based specialist fund and asset management company, needed to strengthen security across a rapidly changing environment shaped by remote work, cloud adoption, mergers and acquisitions, and rising phishing attacks. Working with Kocho, the firm looked to improve protection for sensitive financial data, endpoint security, and compliance using Microsoft 365 E5 security tools and Microsoft Sentinel.

Kocho implemented a holistic security approach that included Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Defender for Office 365, Microsoft Sentinel, managed security services, and a vCISO service. The result was better threat visibility across the environment, improved defense against phishing and shadow IT, reduced pressure on internal IT teams, and stronger board-level security and compliance reporting, with Liontrust gaining a clearer roadmap for ongoing security improvements.
