Case Study: Specialist Risk Group achieves modern Microsoft 365 governance with Rencore

Specialist Risk Group transitioned from static and manual governance into a dynamic, modern, and future-proof approach

Specialist Risk Group, a UK and Ireland-based specialist insurance broker, rapidly expanded through mergers and acquisitions and grew from 119 to 450 staff. As they adopted Microsoft 365 services like Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Teams, OneDrive, Power Automate, and Power Apps, they needed better governance to manage cloud sprawl, monitor data and app usage, and differentiate between disabled accounts for new acquisitions versus leavers.

Working with Rencore and partner Yoko:10, Specialist Risk Group implemented Rencore Governance to create a modern Microsoft 365 governance plan, with pre-built checks, dashboards, and simple automation to monitor identities, licenses, security, and service usage. The solution was deployed in just 5 working days and gave IT a single portal to quickly identify and act on risky or problematic activity, improve housekeeping and lifecycle management, and support a more dynamic, future-proof governance approach.
