Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365, Actually Configured

Licensing, migration, and administration handled — including the security settings most businesses pay for and never switch on.

The Gap

You are probably paying for protections you never turned on

Microsoft 365 ships with substantial security capability, and almost all of it is optional. Out of the box, multi-factor authentication may be off, audit logging may be unconfigured, and old accounts may still have full access to everything.

None of that shows up as a problem until it does. The licence renews, everyone assumes it is handled, and the settings that would have prevented a breach sit unused in a console nobody opens.

We go through the tenant properly — once at the start, then as part of ongoing reviews.

Commonly found, rarely fixed

  • MFA not enforced on admin accounts
  • Former staff still licensed and active
  • Mailbox forwarding rules nobody set up
  • Sharing links open to anyone with the URL
  • Paying for a tier above what is being used
What We Handle

From licence to daily administration

Licensing review

Most businesses are on the wrong tier — over-licensed for features nobody uses, or under-licensed and missing protections they assumed they had.

Email migration

Moving from an old provider without losing mail, calendars, or contacts — and without a day where nobody can send anything.

Security hardening

MFA enforced, legacy authentication disabled, admin roles limited, and audit logging switched on so there is a record if you ever need one.

User management

Starters set up before their first day, leavers disabled the same day they go. A real process rather than a note in someone's calendar.

Backup for 365

Microsoft protects its infrastructure, not your data from your own mistakes. Deleted mail and files are recoverable only for a limited window unless you add backup.

Day-to-day support

The password resets, the shared mailbox nobody can access, the meeting that will not send. Handled without your office manager becoming the accidental IT department.

Common Questions

What businesses usually ask

Does Microsoft not back up my email already?

Microsoft guarantees its service, not your content. If someone deletes a mailbox or a folder is emptied and nobody notices for a few months, recovery is often impossible. Third-party backup for 365 exists precisely because of this gap.

Can we move without downtime?

Effectively, yes. Migrations are staged so mail keeps flowing throughout, with the cutover timed for the quietest point in your week.

Will enforcing MFA annoy our staff?

Configured properly it prompts on new devices and unusual sign-ins, not every morning. The version people hate is the badly configured one.
