  3. Microsoft 365 setup and security

Microsoft 365, set up the way it should be.

Most Microsoft 365 tenants grew without a plan: default settings, ad hoc Teams and sharing nobody reviews. Setting it up properly once gives you security, tidy data and lower licence costs.

What it covers

Microsoft 365 setup and security

Tenant setup and review

Security defaults, admin roles, domains and policies configured, or an existing tenant reviewed against best practice.

Migrations

Mail and files moved from on premises Exchange, file servers, Google Workspace or another tenant.

Teams and SharePoint structure

A clear structure for sites, teams and permissions, so people can find things and access stays controlled.

Device management with Intune

Laptops and phones enrolled, encrypted, updated and wiped remotely if lost.

Security hardening

Multi factor authentication, conditional access, email protection and audit logging, measured with Microsoft Secure Score.

Licence optimisation

The right plan for each user, and unused licences removed.

Questions

Is Microsoft 365 secure out of the box?

The defaults are reasonable, but most organisations need conditional access, device management, email protection and logging configured to meet their obligations.

Which Microsoft 365 plan do we need?

It depends on your size, security needs and compliance requirements. Business Premium suits many smaller firms; larger or regulated ones may need enterprise plans. We review before you buy.

Can you review a tenant someone else set up?

Yes. A tenant review is often the best starting point.
