Case Study: Taylor Smith Group achieves robust Office 365 email protection and phishing defense with Mimecast

Taylor Smith Group confident its email in Office 365 is protected with Mimecast

The Taylor Smith Group is a Mauritius-based diversified private equity group with over 800 employees across 16 businesses. After migrating from an in-house email server to Microsoft Office 365, the IT team began seeing increasing volumes of spam, phishing and impersonation attacks—culminating in a director’s account being used to target contacts—so they sought a third‑party, easy-to-deploy email security solution independent of Microsoft.

They selected Mimecast (deployed by partner Grove) for 350 users with S1 services, 24/7 support and full deployment. Since June 2018 Mimecast has largely eliminated phishing and impersonation incidents, automated user-awareness notifications, reduced the operational burden on IT, and provided regular reports that demonstrate blocked threats and justify the investment—giving the organisation greater confidence and peace of mind in its email security.
