Microsoft 365 Security Assessment
Microsoft 365 environments require robust security configurations to protect organisational data. Our assessment helps identify security gaps, misconfigurations, and compliance issues across your M365 tenant.
What is a Microsoft 365 Security Assessment?
A Microsoft 365 Security Assessment reviews your M365 tenant configuration to identify misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and gaps in identity, access, and data protection controls. The assessment focuses on securing services like Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Entra ID (Azure AD), aligning findings with best practices and compliance standards.
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.

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.
