Exchange Online Migration

Exchange Online provides advanced threat protection that blocks phishing attacks, malicious attachments, and compromised links before they reach users. Safe Links rewrites URLs in emails, checking them when clicked to detect phishing sites created after the email was sent. Safe Attachments opens files in sandboxed environments, detonating malware safely before delivery to mailboxes.

Multi-factor authentication integrates natively with Exchange Online, requiring additional verification beyond passwords when users access email. Conditional Access policies can require compliant devices, block legacy authentication protocols, and adapt security requirements based on sign-in risk.

Exchange Online integrates natively with Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive. Shared mailboxes work naturally with Teams channels for customer service or departmental email. Calendar sharing between organisations works reliably. Meeting scheduling across companies happens smoothly with free/busy information shared appropriately.

Email attachments larger than the default size threshold can be shared through OneDrive links automatically rather than bouncing due to size limits. Co-authoring documents attached to emails happens through SharePoint integration.

Retention policies preserve emails for specified periods to meet regulatory requirements. Legal hold prevents deletion of mailboxes or emails relevant to litigation. Audit logs track mailbox access, forwarding rule creation, permission changes, and admin actions. These compliance capabilities satisfy requirements for Australian privacy laws, industry regulations, and customer contracts without additional infrastructure investment.

Basic eDiscovery tools allow searching across mailboxes for specific content when legal discovery requests arrive. Sensitive information can be identified and protected automatically through data loss prevention policies. Information rights management prevents forwarding or copying of confidential emails.

Email, calendars, and contacts are accessible via Outlook desktop, Outlook on the web, and mobile apps for iOS and Android. Users access email securely from any device whether working from office, home, or travelling. Offline access through Outlook desktop ensures productivity continues even without internet connectivity, with changes syncing when connection returns.

Mobile device management through Microsoft Intune allows secure email access on personal and corporate-owned devices. Email data can be wiped remotely from lost or stolen devices without affecting personal information. Compliance policies ensure devices accessing email meet security requirements like encryption and screen lock.
