Solution Brief: Securing Microsoft 365

The Situation

You’ve set up Microsoft 365, including email, Teams, and SharePoint. It’s doing its job. But security's been put off for later. Now, something is forcing the issue, like a customer, regulator, contract or insurance requirement, or questions from the board.

When you’re building a business, it’s easy to focus on growth, customers, and operations first. Even mature organisations can fall into the same trap, leaving security unfinished until a customer, regulator, or contract forces the issue.

There might also be an IT provider or MSP involved who is keeping things running but might not go deep on security. Maybe they’ve covered a few basics, or maybe they’re not keeping pace with Microsoft’s evolving security guidance. Either way, the result is the same: a system that works, but one that could be doing far more to protect your data, your users, and your reputation.

What's Important?

The choices you make now will shape how secure, scalable, and resilient your business becomes. Laying the right foundation early avoids costly fixes later, protecting your data, your customers, and your credibility as you grow.

And even if you know how to do it yourself, your time will be better spent growing the business, not configuring systems.

Questions to consider

  • Are all users protected by multi-factor authentication?

  • Are email and collaboration settings filtering advanced phishing and spoofing attempts?

  • Is sensitive data being shared externally or stored without proper controls?

  • Are admin permissions and privileged accounts being monitored and reviewed?

  • Do you have visibility into unusual sign-ins, account abuse, or configuration drift?

How we can help

We start by assessing your Microsoft 365 tenant to understand what’s in place, what’s missing, and where your biggest risks lie. From there, we apply our proven security baselines: securing identities, tightening access, strengthening authentication, and tuning Microsoft Defender to match your environment.


But setup is only the start. We continuously monitor your tenant for configuration drift, anomalies, and emerging threats. As Microsoft releases new features and improvements, we review, test, and implement them to keep your protection current. You’ll get expert oversight, informed by real-world threat intelligence, so you can be confident your Microsoft 365 environment is secure, optimised, and always improving.

What You'll Gain

  • A Microsoft 365 environment configured and maintained to best security practices

  • Continuous monitoring and optimisation as new threats and features emerge

  • Fewer risks from phishing, account compromise, and data loss

  • Confidence that your organisation is protected 24x7x365 by experts who understand both Microsoft and the evolving threat landscape
