Microsoft 365 Security Assessment

Microsoft 365 environments require robust security configurations to protect organisational data. Our comprehensive assessment helps identify security gaps, misconfigurations, and compliance issues across your M365 tenant.

Our Engagement Process

T-14 days

Scoping

We begin by understanding your M365 environment, including which services you use (Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, etc.) and any specific compliance requirements.

We’ll identify key stakeholders and determine the scope of access needed to perform a thorough assessment.

T-7 days

Preparation

We’ll work with your team to ensure all necessary access is provisioned, including read-only accounts with appropriate permissions to review security settings.

We’ll also gather information about your current security policies, compliance requirements, and any specific areas of concern.

Assessment Begins

Our consultants begin their comprehensive review of your M365 environment, examining security configurations, access controls, and compliance settings.

Any critical security issues that could put your organisation at immediate risk are reported as soon as they’re discovered.

T+7 Days

Report Delivery and Debrief

We deliver a detailed report outlining all identified security gaps, misconfigurations, and recommendations for improvement.

Our debrief session walks through the findings, explains their potential impact, and provides practical guidance for implementing security enhancements.

Why M365 Security Assessment?

Maximise Your M365 Investment

Many organisations are not fully utilising the features and capabilities included in their M365 licenses. Our assessment identifies underutilised tools and services, helping you leverage the full potential of your existing investment to enhance security and productivity.

Configuration Complexity

Configuring M365 can be challenging due to the numerous admin portals and settings. Our assessment helps you navigate and optimise these configurations to ensure your environment is secure and efficient.

Protect Cloud Data

With critical business data stored in M365 services, ensuring proper security controls is essential. Our assessment verifies that your data is protected through appropriate access controls, encryption, and data loss prevention policies.

Identity Security

As the foundation of M365 security, proper identity management is crucial. We evaluate your Azure AD configuration, multi-factor authentication implementation, and conditional access policies to ensure robust identity protection.
