The Companies
Hibo is a creative agency based in Bologna, Italy, founded in 2009. They help luxury brands—including Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Ducati, and DeLonghi—enhance their marketing efforts by providing digital strategy, content creation, web development, and social media analysis. By 2023, the company's headcount had grown to 80 employees.
Injenia, founded in 2005 and also headquartered in Bologna, is a software consultancy specializing in digital transformation, providing high-value solutions in areas like digital workplace, AI, cloud, and app modernization.
The Challenge: Modernizing Digital Security for Rapid Growth
When Francesco Landoni joined Hibo in 2020, the company had 20 employees. As the company senior developer, Landoni sought to sharpen Hibo’s security posture to protect sensitive client data and maintain network integrity as the team grew rapidly.
Landoni’s goal was to enhance identity management and device management. Given Hibo's reliance on Macs and Google's business suite, the chosen solution needed to be compatible with the Google ecosystem and provide Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities.
Ultimately, Hibo aimed to achieve ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certification, demonstrating a firm commitment to cybersecurity best practices and quality management.
The Solution: Partnering with Injenia to Deploy JumpCloud
Hibo engaged Injenia, an IT solutions provider, for assistance. Through Injenia, Landoni learned about JumpCloud. After a small pilot program involving "three or four accounts" in August 2023, the platform quickly proved its value.
“After we established the connection between Google and JumpCloud as an identity provider, we extended JumpCloud across the whole company. We didn’t have any issues with integration.”
— Francesco Landoni, Senior Developer, Hibo
The full rollout was exceptionally smooth, aided by Injenia's expert support in migrating SSO onto the JumpCloud platform and ensuring seamless integration with Google.
The Result: Improved Security, Centralized Control, and Compliance
Improving Security & Centralizing Mobile Device Management
JumpCloud’s Mobile Device Management (MDM) capabilities now allow Hibo to control all company devices—laptops and mobile devices—from one central location. This ensures high productivity while securely protecting sensitive intellectual property and customer data.
“It’s working great. We use MDM to fully control all of our devices.”
— Francesco Landoni
Strengthening the Company’s Security Posture
Hibo used JumpCloud to enforce several critical security best practices:
- Enforced Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all identities.
- Implemented patch management tools to ensure applications and data are secure.
- Enforced policies such as automatically locking screens after five minutes of inactivity.
- Gained the ability to force users to update their devices to the latest, most secure versions promptly.
Achieving ISO Certifications to Protect Sensitive Data
With JumpCloud providing centralized control over identities and devices, Hibo successfully achieved ISO 27001 (Security) and ISO 9001 (Quality Management) certification. This provides their high-profile luxury clients with the peace of mind that their sensitive company data is protected by best-in-class security standards.
With JumpCloud protecting the company's network, devices, and data, Hibo is confident it can continue delivering top-notch creative agency services safely and securely to some of the world's most successful brands.
