Case Study: PIB Group achieves a secure, compliant email platform for rapid, acquisition-driven growth with Mimecast

PIB Group Eradicates Pain of Business Acquisition and Creates a Platform for Rapid Growth

PIB Group is a fast-growing UK insurance advisory group of more than 1,400 people across 40 offices that has expanded rapidly through organic growth and about 30 acquisitions since 2015. As an FCA‑regulated business with a Microsoft 365 email core, it faced a disjointed email setup—separate archiving and security vendors, limited functionality, and growing threats like C‑level impersonation and malicious URLs—that created compliance, security and operational risks and slowed the integration of acquired businesses.

PIB consolidated email security and cloud archiving on Mimecast’s Cyber Resilience Pro package with Gold Support, creating a single, integrated platform for Microsoft 365. The solution tightened defenses against advanced email threats, simplified administration, made historical email quickly discoverable for compliance and legal holds, accelerated onboarding of acquisitions ( integrations now measured in weeks rather than months), and reduced operational overhead—delivering faster ROI and a secure foundation for continued growth.
