Case Study: North American-Based International Construction Services Company achieves enhanced cyber resiliency and Microsoft E5 optimization with Trustwave

Why Trustwave Was Chosen as the Managed Security Services Provider for a Global Construction Company

North American-Based International Construction Services Company, a global construction firm with more than 10,000 employees and over 1,000 projects annually, faced an overburdened four‑person internal security team and an underperforming MSSP while transitioning to a Microsoft E5 environment. The company selected Trustwave as its Managed Security Services Provider to deliver strategic guidance, better leverage Microsoft E5 licenses, and manage its SOC/SIEM operations.

Trustwave deployed a co‑managed SOC model, provided QRadar SIEM management with a planned migration to Microsoft Sentinel within 6–12 months, and delivered Managed XDR for Microsoft Defender plus a Microsoft E5 implementation accelerator. As a result, Trustwave improved security visibility, threat detection and incident response across the client’s global operations, unlocked greater value from Microsoft E5 licenses, eased the burden on the internal team, and established a scalable, technology‑agnostic security foundation for future growth.
