The Challenge
Before partnering with Fluent, Prosperity IFA relied on a hosted Exchange email service that limited both functionality and security. As cyber threats became more sophisticated and compliance expectations increased, it became clear that their existing setup no longer met the security standards expected within financial services.
The firm required:
- Stronger identity protection
- A modernised cloud‑based environment
- Better visibility and monitoring
- Staff awareness improvements to reduce human‑factor risk
The Solution
Fluent delivered a full digital and security transformation, beginning with a seamless migration to Microsoft 365. This modern cloud platform immediately enhanced productivity, reliability, and regulatory alignment.
To strengthen Prosperity IFA’s security posture, Fluent implemented:
Advanced Identity & Access Controls
- Conditional Access policies
- Multi-factor authentication
- Single sign-on for simplified, secure login
24/7 Security Monitoring
- Proactive SOC (Security Operations Centre) monitoring
- Real-time threat detection and response
- Continuous protection aligned with financial-sector expectations
Human Risk Reduction
To address the significant risks associated with human error, Fluent introduced:
- Cyber awareness training
- Behavioural-based security education
- Regular testing and compliance-driven learning
The Impact
The transformation was immediate and significant. Prosperity IFA now benefits from:
✅ Stronger security posture
✅ Greater operational visibility
✅ Improved compliance alignment
✅ Increased staff awareness and safer behaviour
✅ A more efficient and resilient technology environment
The leadership team emphasised that Fluent delivered exactly what was needed to protect both their business and their clients. Their IT now “works the way it should” — secure, reliable, and always supported.
