Simplifying IT for Fastway Construction.

What Fastway was up against.

Fastway Construction Ltd, a construction company based in West London, came to us with a digital setup that had grown complicated over time. Their website was underperforming and slow to load, and they were paying GoDaddy for a long list of services – domains, web hosting and email accounts – some of which weren’t being used. They’d lost track of which services were essential and which weren’t.

Fastway were also concerned about the security of company data and client information, which staff were accessing on personal devices without adequate safeguards against data leaks. GoDaddy’s limited Microsoft 365 admin controls made things worse, preventing them from deploying App Protection Policies or Conditional Access Policies.

What we set out to do.

Streamline Fastway’s digital infrastructure, improve the performance of their website, and properly secure their corporate data and client information.

How we did it.

1. Moved hosting to a faster providerWith Fastway’s permission, we migrated their domain and web hosting from GoDaddy to Hostinger, gaining better performance plus object caching and unlimited SSL certificates.
2. Optimised the website’s mediaWe converted most of the site’s images to .webp, a modern format with superior compression, so higher-quality images now load faster.
3. Took back control of Microsoft 365We had GoDaddy release Fastway’s domain from their Azure tenancy, then restored existing mailboxes and data into a new Azure tenancy that is entirely under Fastway’s control.
4. Cut unnecessary licencesAfter analysing Fastway’s email usage, we converted mailboxes that didn’t need to be licensed accounts into shared mailboxes, which don’t require paid licences.
5. Locked down data on personal devicesWe designed App Protection Policies that require biometric security to open company apps such as Outlook, OneDrive and Teams, and only allow data to be shared between company apps – never into personal apps like WhatsApp. Conditional Access Policies now enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) and location-based access.
