Microsoft System Security Assessments

You can’t secure what you can’t see. Many businesses assume Microsoft 365 is “secure by default,” but there are 100s of settings that may just need turning on, some need to be configured carefully and need to be managed. Gaps creep in—weak passwords, over-privileged accounts, risky file sharing, or devices left unprotected. A Microsoft System Security Assessment gives you a clear picture of where you stand and what needs tightening.

Real world example

A client believed their Microsoft 365 was secure because MFA was in place. Our assessment uncovered hidden risks: global admin accounts with no extra protection, files being shared outside the business without controls, and no logging of suspicious activity. We not only fixed those gaps but now provide ongoing monitoring so new risks are caught before they become problems.

What we check

Identity & Access – are accounts protected with strong passwords and multi-factor authentication or Passkeys?

Device Security – are laptops, mobiles, and tablets encrypted, patched, and compliant?

Data Protection – is sensitive information being shared safely inside and outside the business?

Email & Collaboration – are phishing, spam, and unsafe links being filtered properly?

Admin Controls – do staff have the right permissions, or are there risky “over-privileged” accounts?

Backup & Recovery – could you bounce back quickly from ransomware or accidental deletion?

Two ways we can help

One-off Assessment
A detailed security review of your Microsoft 365 setup, with a clear report showing risks, gaps, and recommended fixes. Ideal if you want peace of mind, need to satisfy cyber insurance, or want a baseline before making changes.

Ongoing Protection
We can go further by continuously monitoring and hardening your Microsoft environment. That means:

Regular security reviews and reports

Automated alerts if something suspicious happens

Continuous improvement as Microsoft releases new features

Support implementing and maintaining best practice security

Why it matters

Reduces the risk of breaches, downtime, and reputational damage

Meets compliance and cyber insurance requirements

Provides a clear, prioritised action plan instead of guesswork

Peace of mind—whether you want a one-off check-up or a long-term safety net
