Securing a Historic Legacy with Cyber Essentials

Company Name approached Grant McGregor following a formal procurement process to modernise its IT systems. After working with the same provider for over 15 years, Company Name wanted to enhance security, enable flexible working and reduce reliance on external support. They were looking for a long-term partner to deliver technical improvements and drive cultural change.

Grant McGregor partnered closely with Company Name to deliver a structured, people-focused digital transformation.
