Microsoft 365 Security Assessment

Know where your Microsoft 365 security gaps are.

Get a practical, licensing-aware review of your Microsoft 365 environment that identifies meaningful security gaps, separates high-value improvements from noise, and gives your team a prioritized roadmap for remediation.

Assessment Scope

A focused review of the controls that matter most.

The exact scope is tailored to your tenant, licensing, business requirements, and existing security controls.

Identity & Access

  • Entra ID security posture
  • MFA and authentication methods
  • Conditional Access policies
  • Privileged roles and administrative access
  • Identity governance and account lifecycle considerations

Microsoft Secure Score

  • Current Secure Score posture
  • High-value improvement opportunities
  • Risk and operational impact review
  • Licensing and implementation dependencies
  • Prioritization beyond simply chasing a score

Why the score alone is not enough: Secure Score vs. a security assessment.

Email & Collaboration Security

  • Defender for Office 365 capabilities where licensed
  • Anti-phishing and anti-malware protections
  • Safe Links and Safe Attachments considerations
  • External sharing and collaboration controls
  • Key Exchange Online security settings

Endpoint & Data Protection

  • Intune and endpoint security controls where licensed
  • Device compliance and access considerations
  • Purview sensitivity labels and DLP opportunities
  • Data protection configuration
  • Security baseline alignment

Who It's For

A good fit when you need clarity before making changes.

Microsoft 365 environments

Organizations using Business Premium, E3, E5, or mixed Microsoft 365 licensing.

Secure Score improvement

Teams that want to improve Secure Score without blindly enabling every recommendation.

Upcoming assurance needs

Businesses preparing for an audit, customer security review, cyber insurance renewal, or security initiative.

Independent security review

Organizations that have grown quickly and want an independent review of Microsoft 365 security controls.

After Remediation

Keep the environment from drifting after the project ends.

For organizations that need ongoing ownership, Managed Microsoft 365 Security turns the assessment roadmap into a recurring cycle of posture review, prioritized remediation, configuration-drift management, and senior security advisory.
