Secure Data Collaboration, Microsoft 365 Security | Return to list of Case Studies |
Infracore builds new collaboration platform for cutting-edge biotech company A biotech customer - pioneering a gene editing approach to finding cures for disease - required a reliable method of sharing data with strategic partners, while keeping data protected from exfiltration. The biotech industry relies heavily on research and development, and biotech firms need to have a secure and reliable system for sharing data between departments and with external partners. The client had a limited Egnyte implementation in place already, but was specifically interested in migrating to SharePoint and Teams for external sharing of data. Infracore met the challenge by hardening their Microsoft 365 environment to industry standard and architecting secure SharePoint and Teams portals for true global collaboration. |

Business Needs and Challenges:Solution:Infracore proposed a solution that involved the implementation of SharePoint and Teams for external sharing of data. The solution consisted of the following steps:
The tenant security audit revealed numerous baseline controls that needed to be adjusted to meet best practices. SharePoint was then configured to meet the client's specific data sharing requirements, and utilized the creation of limited guest accounts in the client’s Microsoft 365 tenant. Sensitivity labels were then applied to documents and other data, based on their security context. SharePoint permissions and access controls were configured to ensure that only authorized personnel had access to sensitive data, and that sensitive data could not be shared for purposes beyond those authorized by the sensitivity labels. The migration of existing data from Egnyte to SharePoint site was seamless, with no loss of data or functionality. Infracore ensured that all data was migrated securely and that the client's existing processes and workflows were not disrupted. End Results:Infracore was able to successfully help the client improve their collaboration systems using SharePoint and Teams. The solution provided by Infracore was tailored to meet the client's specific needs and requirements, while also ensuring that the system was secure and easy to use. This ultimately helped the client improve their research and development efforts. The client was extremely satisfied with the solution provided by Infracore, and they continue to rely on us for their IT needs. |
