Microsoft 365 Security Assessment

See where your Microsoft 365 security can be strengthened with simple, impactful improvements.

What this Microsoft 365 assessment includes:

We analyse your tenant for misconfigurations, risky admin access, sharing issues and outdated policies, then provide straightforward recommendations to strengthen your protection.

Tenant security improvements (quick wins & longer-term fixes)
Evaluation of admin access and privileged accounts
Identify sharing and external access risks
Review of identity and sign‑in protections
Highlight policy drift and outdated settings
A plain‑English review with us & potential action plan

Microsoft 365 does a lot of heavy lifting for modern businesses — email, files, Teams, collaboration, and increasingly, sensitive data. The challenge is that it’s easy for security settings to drift over time: permissions build up, sharing becomes more relaxed, and older policies stay in place longer than they should.

This assessment gives you a clear view of your current security posture and highlights the areas most likely to increase risk — without drowning you in technical detail.

Think of it as a practical “health check” for your Microsoft 365 environment, designed for decision‑makers as much as IT.

FAQs

What is a Microsoft 365 Security Assessment?

It’s a structured review of your Microsoft 365 security settings, access controls, and sharing behaviours. You get a clear report explaining any risks and how to improve them.

Will this disrupt our users or day‑to‑day work?

No. The assessment is non-disruptive. We review configuration and activity indicators, we’re not making changes during the assessment.

What kinds of issues do you typically uncover?

Common findings include too many admin accounts, overly relaxed sharing settings, outdated policies, inconsistent security controls, and gaps in sign‑in protection.

Is this useful if we already have an IT provider or internal IT team?

Yes. Many businesses use this as an independent “second opinion” and a prioritised improvement plan their existing team can implement.

How long does the assessment take?

Typically a few working days depending on tenant size and complexity. We’ll give you a timeline when you request it.

Do you cover Microsoft Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive sharing?

Yes. These are often key areas for oversharing and unintended exposure, so they’re included in the review.

Can you help us fix the issues you identify?

Yes. We can either provide guidance for your team to implement, or we can manage the changes with you, at a pace that suits your business.
