Governance & Strategy
Security program structure, policies, roles, risk ownership, executive reporting, roadmap maturity, and alignment to business objectives.
Cybersecurity Assessments
Know where your real security gaps are, and what to do about them.
Get a practical current-state assessment that separates meaningful risk from noise, gives leadership a clear view of exposure, and provides your technical team with a prioritized path forward.

A structured review focused on the risks that matter most.
Assessments are tailored to your environment, business priorities, regulatory expectations, technology stack, and existing security program. The goal is not to produce a generic checklist, it is to create a defensible view of risk and a practical improvement roadmap.
Identity & Access
MFA, privileged access, Conditional Access, lifecycle controls, identity governance, authentication methods, and least privilege.
Cloud & Infrastructure
Microsoft 365, Azure, network architecture, endpoint controls, remote access, resilience, configuration risk, and operational dependencies.
Data Protection
Data classification, DLP, encryption, sharing controls, retention, backup, sensitive-data handling, and practical protection requirements.
Detection & Response
Logging, monitoring, alerting, incident response, escalation, tabletop readiness, recovery processes, and operational coordination.
Third-Party & Resilience
Vendor risk, critical dependencies, business continuity, disaster recovery, service concentration, and operational resilience considerations.

Findings leadership can understand and teams can act on.
The output is designed to support decisions, not sit on a shelf. Findings are organized around real business risk, practical effort, and the sequence in which improvements should happen.
Executive Summary
A concise view of the current security posture, material risks, major strengths, and highest-priority recommendations.
Current-State Findings
Documented observations across the agreed assessment scope, including control gaps, process concerns, and notable dependencies.
Risk Prioritization
Findings organized by business impact, likelihood, exposure, dependencies, and realistic implementation effort.
Framework Mapping
Where appropriate, findings can be aligned to NIST CSF or other agreed control frameworks to support governance and reporting.
Remediation Roadmap
A sequenced plan that separates immediate risk reduction from medium-term program improvements and longer-term maturity work.
Implementation Path
Clear next steps your internal team can execute or engage Shield Security Advising to help plan and implement.
Who It's For
A good fit when you need an independent view of security risk.
Security Priorities Feel Unclear
Leadership knows improvements are needed but needs a defensible way to decide what should happen first.
Preparing for an Audit or Review
Organizations facing customer due diligence, cyber insurance renewal, regulatory scrutiny, board review, or an internal audit.
Rapid Growth or Change
Businesses that have added cloud services, locations, vendors, acquisitions, or new technology faster than the security program has evolved.
Need an Independent Perspective
Teams that want an experienced outside view to validate strengths, surface blind spots, and challenge assumptions constructively.
MICROSOFT 365 RESOURCE
Secure Score is useful. Context determines priority.
See why Microsoft Secure Score should inform a Microsoft 365 security assessment rather than replace one.
