Microsoft 365 Security Management
Unlock the full security potential of Microsoft 365, properly configured.
Getting Full Value From Your Microsoft 365 Investment
If you are paying for Microsoft 365 you may already have access to enterprise grade security capabilities, depending on your licensing, but most of those features sit disabled or misconfigured by default. Multi factor authentication is left optional instead of enforced, Conditional Access policies never get created, Defender alerts go unmonitored, and data loss prevention capabilities rarely get turned on at all.
These are not theoretical gaps. Compromised credentials lead to business email compromise, phishing emails trick users into sharing credentials, sensitive data sits unprotected in SharePoint and OneDrive, and lost devices create data breach risks when encryption was never enabled. You may already be paying for the tools that prevent these incidents, they just need proper configuration and ongoing management. Our Microsoft 365 Security service closes these gaps, configuring and managing every security capability your licensing includes and recommending upgrades when you need stronger protection.
Microsoft Secure Score
Where we found it. Where we take it.
Common Security Gaps We Address
Weak Account and Email Security
Default Microsoft 365 deployments allow simple passwords and do not require multi factor authentication, so compromised or phished credentials let an attacker operate as a legitimate user. Safe Links and Safe Attachments often sit disabled or configured with permissive settings, letting phishing emails and malicious attachments reach users unchecked.
We enforce multi factor authentication across all accounts using Conditional Access policies, disable legacy authentication protocols that bypass MFA, and enable Advanced Threat Protection with strict scanning and anti phishing policies across every mailbox.
Poorly Configured Device Management
Devices accessing company data often lack basic security controls. Encryption sits disabled, security updates do not install, and there is no ability to remotely wipe company data from a lost or stolen device.
We enroll every device in Microsoft Intune. Compliance policies enforce encryption, require security updates, mandate antivirus protection, and block access for devices that do not meet your standards. When a device is lost or stolen, we can remotely wipe company information.
Missing Data Protection and Backup
Sensitive information sits unprotected in SharePoint and OneDrive, downloadable to personal devices or shared externally with no restrictions. Many businesses also assume Microsoft 365 backs up their data automatically. It does not, and permanently deleted emails or ransomware encrypted files disappear once retention periods expire.
We implement sensitivity labels and data loss prevention policies that block transmission of regulated information, alongside third party backup solutions that create immutable copies of your Microsoft 365 data stored outside your tenant with unlimited retention.
Most businesses already have access to the security capabilities that would close these gaps, they just sit disabled or misconfigured by default. We configure and manage every security capability your existing licensing includes, and only recommend an upgrade when you genuinely need stronger protection.
Microsoft Secure Score measures how well your Microsoft 365 environment is configured against security recommendations published by Microsoft. Most businesses we assess start in the 40s, and proper configuration of the capabilities already included in your licensing typically takes that above 70.
No. Permanently deleted emails and files encrypted by ransomware disappear once retention periods expire, so we implement third party backup solutions that create immutable copies of your Microsoft 365 data stored outside your tenant.
It depends on the control. Email security can typically be deployed in around two weeks, while Microsoft Defender for Endpoint in larger organisations can take a few weeks of auditing activity before we switch some controls from audit to block mode, avoiding disruption to legitimate business activity.
We start with a complete security assessment, evaluating your current Microsoft 365 security posture, identifying gaps in protection, and creating a prioritised remediation roadmap before making any changes.
