Cloud, email and identity
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, properly configured
Most firms buy a solid cloud platform and use a fraction of it, with default settings that were never meant to be final. We configure, secure and maintain the platform you already pay for.
What this fixes
- Shared files live in three places and nobody trusts any of them
- Former staff may still have access to something
- Email lands in clients' spam folders
- You are paying for licences nobody uses
What is included
- Tenant hardening against a published baseline, reviewed quarterly
- SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up so your mail is trusted and hard to spoof
- File structure and permissions that match how the firm actually works
- Single sign-on and password vaulting for the apps that support it
- Licence review — we tell you when you are over-buying
- Guest and external sharing controls appropriate to confidential work
One place for files, mail that arrives, access that ends when employment does, and a bill that matches your headcount.
Compared honestly
Licensed is not the same as configured
Most firms already own more security capability than they use. The gap is almost never the subscription tier — it is that the tenant was set up once, quickly, years ago, and nobody has been back.
A typical provider
Set up once, working, and never revisited. Microsoft's own defaults now cover a fair amount out of the box — what they do not do is notice the afternoon somebody adds an exception.
CY6
Hardened at onboarding against the platform vendor's own guidance and current best practice, changed within hours where it needs changing, and monitored afterwards rather than assumed to have stayed that way.
Why it matters — A tenant rarely gets less secure in one dramatic step. It does it one exception at a time.
We do not name providers, and we do not claim every provider works this way. These are the patterns we meet most often when we take over an environment.
