Harden the cloud your data lives in.

Tenant hardening, configuration review, and continuous monitoring across Microsoft 365 and Azure, turning on the protections you already pay for and watching the place most of your data actually lives.

The tenant reality

Most tenants are half-configured.

Microsoft 365 ships with strong controls switched off, defaults left open, and no one watching the logs. The license is paid for; the protection is not turned on.

Misconfiguration

Defaults left as shipped

Legacy authentication still open, security defaults never reviewed, and admin roles handed out too widely. Attackers look for exactly these gaps first.

Over-shared data

Files anyone can reach

SharePoint and OneDrive links set to "anyone with the link," guest access that outlived the project, and sensitive documents exposed far past their audience.

No logging

Nothing to look back on

Unified audit logging off by default means that when something goes wrong there is no record of who did what, when, and no way to scope the damage.

Shadow SaaS

Apps IT never approved

Staff connect third-party apps to the tenant on their own, granting standing access to mail and files that no one reviews and no one can see.

How we secure the tenant

The protections you pay for, actually turned on.

We configure Microsoft 365 and Azure to a documented baseline, then keep it there, measured against a known standard, not against whatever the tenant happened to ship with.

How the engagement runs

Baseline to steady state.

Hardening a tenant once is not the job. We set a known-good baseline, then keep the tenant on it as staff, apps, and Microsoft's own defaults keep changing.

1

Assess

We score your tenant against CIS benchmarks and map where you stand today — every open setting, over-shared file, and missing log, ranked by risk.

2

Harden

We close the gaps on a planned change window — MFA, conditional access, logging, and sharing controls brought to a documented baseline without breaking work.

3

Monitor

Sign-ins, risky users, and configuration drift are watched by our SOC around the clock, with alerts triaged by a person the moment the posture slips.

4

Review

A recurring posture review keeps the baseline current as staff, licensing, and Microsoft defaults change, reported to you in plain language, not raw logs.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

We already have Microsoft 365 security. Isn't that enough?

M365 has strong capabilities, but out of the box most tenants leave them partly configured, legacy authentication open, logging off, sharing wide. We harden the tenant to a documented baseline, turn on the protections you already pay for, and monitor it continuously, which is where the real gap usually is.

What is a CIS benchmark, and why score against it?

The Center for Internet Security publishes a vetted list of recommended Microsoft 365 settings. Scoring your tenant against it means every control is checked against a published standard rather than one engineer's opinion, so the gaps are objective and the fixes are defensible to an auditor or insurer.

Will hardening the tenant break how our staff work?

No. We stage changes on a planned window, communicate what's changing, and roll conditional access and MFA out in a way that fits how your people actually work. The goal is a tenant that's locked down and still gets out of the way day to day.

Do we still need backup if our data is in Microsoft 365?

Yes. Microsoft keeps its platform running, but under the shared-responsibility model your data is your responsibility. Ransomware, malicious deletion, and departed-employee cleanup all sit with you, so we add independent, immutable backup for Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams.

Does this cover Azure, or only Microsoft 365?

Both. We review and monitor Azure alongside M365 — identity, network security groups, storage exposure, and role assignments, so the same baseline discipline applies wherever your workloads and data live.
