Case Studies

Anonymised examples of cybersecurity work that produced usable outcomes.

These examples show the type of situations, deliverables and operating improvements Tenodex supports. Client names and sensitive details are intentionally removed.

Professional Services · Identity and Email Security

Reducing business email compromise exposure

Situation

A multi-site professional services organisation relied heavily on Microsoft 365 but had inconsistent MFA coverage, limited mailbox investigation capability and unclear alert ownership.

Problem

The organisation had security tooling in place but lacked confidence that identity and email incidents would be detected, escalated and investigated consistently.

What Tenodex delivered

  • Microsoft 365 and Entra ID control review
  • Privileged access and MFA gap analysis
  • Email alert workflow and escalation map
  • Administrator handover notes and evidence checklist

What changed

The client moved from informal mailbox incident handling to a defined workflow with named owners, access review actions and investigation evidence expectations.

Technology Company · Audit and Assurance

Turning scattered control activity into audit-ready evidence

Situation

A growing technology company needed to respond to customer assurance requests while preparing for more formal governance and security control maturity.

Problem

Controls were partly operating, but evidence was scattered across tickets, policies, cloud settings and informal team knowledge.

What Tenodex delivered

  • Control and evidence matrix
  • Risk-ranked remediation roadmap
  • Policy and procedure uplift list
  • Executive summary for leadership review

What changed

The organisation gained a repeatable evidence model and a clearer path for customer security questionnaires, audit preparation and leadership reporting.

Healthcare Environment · Incident Readiness

Clarifying incident response roles before a real event

Situation

A healthcare-adjacent organisation needed clearer response authority across IT, operations, leadership and external support providers.

Problem

The organisation had policies but no tested escalation path for ransomware, data exposure or identity compromise scenarios.

What Tenodex delivered

  • Incident response tabletop scenario
  • Decision authority and escalation matrix
  • Evidence capture checklist
  • Post-exercise improvement report

What changed

Stakeholders understood who could authorise containment, who owned communications, what evidence to preserve and what improvements should be prioritised.

Cloud Environment · AWS Security Review

Prioritising cloud exposure and logging gaps

Situation

A cloud-first organisation had expanded quickly and needed assurance that identity, logging and public exposure risks were under control.

Problem

Cloud accounts had inconsistent logging, broad permissions and limited operational visibility into configuration drift.

What Tenodex delivered

  • IAM and privileged access review
  • Logging and monitoring gap analysis
  • Public exposure and storage review
  • Prioritised cloud remediation plan

What changed

The client gained a practical cloud security backlog, clear ownership for remediation and stronger evidence for future assurance requests.
