Expert ways to boost your
Microsoft 365 tenant

These are just the first steps you can take towards configuring your Microsoft 365 tenant.

Designed for those who admin their Microsoft tenant/environment, our Microsoft experts dip into topics such as modern Exchange authentication, data geographic location, security configuration in Defender, threat alerts, Microsoft Teams and Power Platform configuration, and lots more.

Our Microsoft 365 Tenant Health Check is personalised to your organisation’s tenant and particular situation. We will help you uncover potential issues, secure threats, and get the most out of your tenant.

Microsoft 365 Security Health Check

We believe you can’t underestimate the value of good information security.

To that end, our Microsoft 365 Health Check will ensure your business is receiving the best possible protection.

That means we take into account not only obvious threats such as hackers and other bad actors, but also trickier security challenges such as accidental oversharing, management of external users and what happens when someone leaves your business.

We are certified under the well-established Cyber Essentials Plus scheme, and work to ensure that your implementation of Microsoft 365 follows the UK Government’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) recommendations.
