Microsoft 365 Management

Microsoft 365 is not secure by default — and most businesses never change the defaults.

Microsoft 365 ships configured for accessibility, not protection. The default tenant settings prioritize ease of access — which means external sharing is often open, guest access is broadly permitted, and the security controls that separate a hardened environment from an exposed one are turned off unless someone turns them on.

Most small businesses and professional firms deploy 365, start using it, and never revisit the configuration. Licenses are added as headcount grows. Former employees' accounts linger. Shared mailboxes accumulate access over time. Nobody has reviewed the SharePoint permissions since the initial setup two years ago.

We manage your Microsoft 365 environment from initial configuration through ongoing administration — hardened, documented, and maintained the way a regulated environment requires.

What's covered

• User provisioning and deprovisioning with documented access control procedures — no former employee accounts left active
• Exchange Online hardening including anti-spam, anti-phishing, and proper DMARC, DKIM, and SPF configuration
• SharePoint and OneDrive security configuration, external sharing controls, and permissions auditing
• Teams governance — guest access policies, external sharing controls, retention policies, and meeting security settings
• Conditional Access policy configuration and MFA enforcement across all accounts and applications
• Microsoft Secure Score monitoring with documented remediation tracking
• License management and regular access reviews for compliance documentation
• Ongoing administration for adds, moves, and changes as your team grows or changes

Why this matters for your compliance program

For firms under FTC Safeguards or HIPAA, Microsoft 365 is often where the most sensitive data in your operation actually lives — client financial files, patient communications, tax documents, shared workpapers. The platform itself is not the compliance risk. How your firm uses it, who has access, how data moves through it, and what controls govern that access — those are your responsibility.

Microsoft's certification covers their infrastructure. Your security program has to cover your tenant. We build and maintain the configuration that makes that program real, and we document it in a way that stands up when regulators or insurers ask to see your controls.
