Case Study: Mosscare St Vincent's Housing builds a strong cybersecurity foundation and protects 15,000 customers with Mimecast

Mosscare St Vincent’s Housing builds strong cybersecurity foundation with Mimecast

Mosscare St Vincent’s Housing (MSV) is a UK social housing provider managing nearly 9,000 homes and serving about 15,000 customers. Facing a sharp rise in cyberattacks across the housing sector and constrained by a small ICT team and an underperforming email provider—compounded by many staff working remotely during COVID—MSV needed a scalable solution to secure email, endpoints and customer data while building user trust.

MSV deployed Mimecast’s suite—email security, web security, Internal Email Protect, archiving, information protection add‑ons and Awareness Training—backed by ongoing support. The result was reliable, evolving protection against spam, malware, ransomware and phishing, safer remote working, the ability to retract phishing internally, improved employee cyber hygiene, time savings for IT, and executive buy‑in (additional budget) to expand cybersecurity and focus on customer-facing digital initiatives.
