Case Study: Affinity Workforce achieves secure agility and productivity with Microsoft Corporation

Affinity Workforce balances tough security with agility through Microsoft 365

Affinity Workforce, one of the UK’s largest privately owned recruitment companies, needed to balance strict security and GDPR compliance with greater agility for a workforce of more than 400 people. The company wanted a flexible, self-service IT environment that could protect sensitive personal data while still letting staff work quickly and from anywhere, and it chose Microsoft Corporation’s Microsoft 365 platform to help achieve that.

Microsoft Corporation implemented Microsoft 365, including Windows 10, Office 365, Azure identity management, Microsoft Intune, and Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection. The result was faster device setup in just 15–25 minutes, secure single sign-on and remote device wiping, stronger collaboration across offices, and zero security incidents since deployment. Affinity Workforce also reported improved productivity and agility, with the IT team managing a major infrastructure migration and ongoing support with only five people.
