Microsoft 365 Security and Compliance Activation

Microsoft 365's top-tier bundles, including Business Premium, A5, and E5, encompass numerous security solutions that can thoroughly cover all aspects of a modern work environment and establish a robust XDR strategy.

Whether you have already transitioned to Microsoft's full security portfolio, or you are planning to do so, its comprehensive and correct implementation may require expertise not yet present within your team.

With a focus on the E5 license (although applicable to other licenses as well), we have devised safe and efficient methodologies to maximize the potential of the Defender 365 bundle, as well as the Entra ID and Purview solutions.

In an E5 license implementation project, we spearhead the security aspect of the implementation, providing you with the best possible configuration, starting from the design phase.

Our methodology is built on the following milestones:

1. Initial Assessment: We review your current Microsoft 365 configuration to understand your priorities, strengths, and areas for improvement.
2. Design: Based on the assessment outcome, we collaborate to identify your priorities and provide a secure design of the feature(s) in scope, considering your organizational structure and the security risks we aim to mitigate.
3. Test: We select a limited number of users, endpoints, or applications (depending on the solution in scope) to implement the design in audit mode only. This allows us to analyze the proposed setup's behavior without impacting your production environment.
4. Implementation: After validating the test phase, we define the deployment waves for new security features. Each deployment wave undergoes validation before proceeding to the next. If anomalies are detected, we review logs to determine if fine-tuning is necessary.
5. Enforcement: Once all user or endpoint populations are covered in audit mode, we conduct a final validation to ensure no anomalies are registered. Upon successful validation, we enforce rules as much as possible to minimize human intervention in threat detection and response.
6. Documentation: All defined and enforced measures are documented in a reference architecture and presented to the business-as-usual teams to transfer the necessary knowledge. Depending on your objectives, you can choose to manage the operation of Microsoft 365 security tools independently, or rely on our Managed Detect and Response department for 24h advanced monitoring skills.
