Raymond James: Enterprise Security & Compliance Transformation

With 55 branches and a mix of cloud and on-premise systems, Raymond James needed to meet GDPR compliance and improve its security posture. Disparate data handling led to potential regulatory risk and limited confidence in data governance practice.

Build a compliance framework and reduce regulatory risk across the entire organisation.

Accelix conducted a complete information audit to map sensitive data flow across all branches. We implemented a Cloud Security & Compliance Framework using Azure-native tools, including:

• Azure Sentinel for centralised security monitoring
• Role-based access policies and Conditional Access in Azure AD
• Data encryption and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) across all services
• Compliance dashboards with automated policy enforcement
• Hand‑off documentation and training for internal security teams

‍

By the end of the 9-month project:

• Achieved full GDPR compliance across all locations
• Reduced regulatory risk through consistent data governance
• Deployed a proactive security posture with real-time monitoring and alerts
• Empowered internal teams with ongoing training and business-as-usual ownership
