Securing a legendary football club with critical Microsoft 365 environments using natively integrated cybersecurity, data protection and endpoint management. 

Scottish Premiership’s Hibernian Football Club (FC) and Dunedin IT, a leading managed service provider (MSP), join forces through the Acronis #TeamUp Program to strengthen Hibernian FC’s cyber resilience. With offices across the U.K., Dunedin IT delivers comprehensive IT support and cybersecurity services to businesses of all sizes and vertical markets. As a popular football club, Hibernian FC recognized the growing need to enhance its IT protection, especially for its Microsoft 365 email accounts, as it approached its 150th anniversary. 

Hibernian FC faced challenges in protecting its high volumes of sensitive and confidential information, particularly within its Microsoft 365 environment, which is crucial for both administrative functions and football operations. They also struggled with time-consuming and costly in-house backup and recovery processes and the difficulty of identifying which data assets were most critical to back up. The Acronis #TeamUp Program enabled Dunedin IT and Hibernian FC to achieve 85% in time and cost-savings across cybersecurity and data protection. 

“We enjoy a brilliant partnership with Acronis and Dunedin IT. We have a true partner that we have worked with on various mutually beneficial initiatives to advance the IT and data infrastructure within the Club."  

— Murray Milligen, Commercial Director at Hibernian FC
