The Need for Consistency and Security

Case Study

ASC Finance for Business is a UK‑wide commercial finance broker

helping SMEs secure business and property finance through a network of regional offices. We support the Weybridge Office.

The Challenge

As a professional services firm in financial services, ASC handles sensitive client and lending information and must protect it against cyber threats and downtime.


Distributed teams across multiple offices needed consistent, secure access to systems without complex local IT management.


Leadership wanted stronger security, clear governance and predictable IT costs without building an in‑house IT and security department.

How Timeless IMS Supported

Deployed Timeless IMS Passport to standardise user, device and access management across the office, providing a clear framework for onboarding, permissions, and secure access to core business systems.
Implemented Proactive CyberSecurity services, including 24/7 monitoring, patch management, advanced endpoint protection and regular security posture checks, to reduce the risk of phishing, ransomware and account compromise.
Delivered a fully managed firewall service at ASC’s regional office network edge, including configuration, policy management, security updates and continuous monitoring, to protect central services from external threats.
Wrapped these services into a managed package with predictable monthly costs over a 36‑month term, giving ASC financial clarity and a roadmap for ongoing security improvements.
