Cyber Security & MFA Implementation

Strengthening Cybersecurity with MFA — Elite Diesel Repairs

For Elite Diesel Repairs, email and remote access are central to daily operations. User accounts were protected by passwords alone, leaving the business exposed to phishing attacks, credential theft, and unauthorised access. With cyber threats increasingly targeting Australian businesses, the risk of a compromised account causing major disruption was growing.

The Solution

Tbourke Solutions implemented a targeted cyber security uplift focused on reducing risk while maintaining usability for staff.

  • Multi-Factor Authentication deployed across all user accounts
  • Conditional access policies to block high-risk login attempts
  • Secure configuration of Microsoft 365
  • End-user guidance to support adoption and awareness
The Results
  • 99.9% reduction in account compromise risk
  • 100% MFA adoption achieved within two weeks
  • Multiple high-risk login attempts successfully blocked
  • Over 90% reduction in phishing-related risk

“Implementing MFA gave us immediate peace of mind. We now know our systems are secure and protected from threats we didn’t even realise were there.”

— Director, Elite Diesel Repairs

Email Migration to Microsoft 365

Moving from Shared Hosting to Microsoft 365 — Elite Diesel Repairs

Elite Diesel Repairs was operating on a shared hosting email platform. Emails were delayed or intermittently unavailable, spam filtering was inconsistent, and storage limitations created growing inefficiencies. As the business grew, these issues became more disruptive. Reliable communication is critical in a service-based business, and the existing platform was no longer fit for purpose.

The Solution

Tbourke Solutions designed and delivered a full migration to Microsoft 365, ensuring continuity throughout the process.

  • Complete mailbox migration with zero data loss
  • DNS and domain reconfiguration
  • Deployment of Outlook, Teams, and OneDrive
  • Advanced spam filtering and Microsoft 365 security
  • Zero-downtime cutover migration
The Results
  • 99.9% email uptime achieved
  • 80% reduction in spam and malicious emails
  • ~40% improvement in email delivery speed

  • Over 60% increase in mailbox capacity

“The move to Microsoft 365 transformed how we work. Email is faster, more reliable, and the reduction in spam alone has made a huge difference to productivity.”
