Microsoft 365 & Security
Hardening, governance, and Microsoft 365 compliance (Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Intune) for demanding, auditable environments.
Optional: advanced M365 security • identity governance • traceability & audit readiness (ISO 27001 / GxP).
A powerful platform… when properly governed
Microsoft 365 evolves quickly. Without governance, organizations accumulate legacy permissions, uncontrolled sharing, heterogeneous configurations, and fragile compliance. The objective: a Microsoft 365 environment that is consistent, secure, documented, and operationally manageable.
Scope of expertise
Key Microsoft 365 components covered — structured within a documented and auditable framework.
Exchange Online
Security configuration, mail flow, delegations, shared mailboxes, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, anti-phishing protection and access hygiene.
SharePoint & OneDrive
Workspace governance, permissions, external sharing, lifecycle management, conventions, templates and best practices.
Intune & compliance
Policies, compliance rules, device deployment, MDM/MAM strategies, baseline configuration and endpoint hardening.
Audit-ready deliverables for Microsoft 365
Practical documents and evidence used to secure, govern, and operate Microsoft 365 within a documented and auditable framework.
Configuration baseline
Microsoft 365 security and compliance baseline with gap analysis and remediation plan.
Access matrix
Mapping of roles, groups, delegations, and owners with associated governance rules.
Compliance configuration
Implementation of retention policies, DLP (if applicable), labels, and classification.
Sharing policy
Internal and external sharing rules, exception processes, and collaboration best practices.
Operational runbook
Administration procedures, recurring incident management, and periodic control checks.
Security dashboard
Security, compliance, and operational KPIs used to monitor and manage the Microsoft 365 environment.
Method
A simple, structured, traceable approach — aligned with ITIL practices and ISO 27001 requirements.
Inventory, configuration review, access mapping, risks, and key pain points.
Governance targets, rules, priorities, quick wins, and remediation roadmap.
Hardening, configurations, procedures, handover, and documentation.
Periodic checks, reporting, adjustments, and change management.
