Case Study: Xavier College achieves improved email visibility, stronger threat protection and compliant archiving with Mimecast

Xavier College Switches to Mimecast for Improved Email Visibility, Archiving and Policy Enforcement

Xavier College, a Jesuit school in Melbourne educating about 2,050 students with 200 teaching staff, faced growing reliance on email and Office 365 as technology-based learning expanded. The IT team had limited visibility into staff and student emails, no long-term archiving for legal or governance needs, and frequent discovery and recovery requests that strained resources.

The college implemented Mimecast’s cloud-based email security and archiving to offload email management and enforce policy. The seamless, few-day deployment—delivered as a close partnership with Mimecast—delivered faster, more accurate recovery and governance without on-premises storage, tighter Office 365 integration, and stronger threat protection (blocking over half of email at the gateway versus 30% previously), plus improved transparency for staff and students.
