Microsoft Teams Security & Compliance: 6 Week Implementation

Every enterprise organization using Microsoft Teams has a responsibility to ensure security and compliance on the platform. Microsoft Teams is a far-reaching application across chat messages, file storage, external collaboration, Microsoft 365 app, third-party apps and more. These workflows can often involve sensitive data or potential for security risks like uploading malware or sharing information that should not be shared with external parties.

Cyclotron provides a comprehensive offer for deploying Microsoft Teams with appropriate security and compliance layered on all components of the solution such as threat protection, data loss prevention, access requirements, group and sharing settings, and more.

Organizations receive the following benefits from a Microsoft Teams Security & Compliance deployment:

• Alignment with Microsoft best practices for general Microsoft Teams usage.
• Peace of mind for threat protection layered on top of the Teams platform.
• Sensitive data protection for data used within and shared from Teams.
• Effective governance over groups within Teams to prevent stale resources.
• Control over guest access and permissions.
• Customization of the Teams experience.

Optional: In addition, Cyclotron offers its own security, governance, and automation tool called TeamsHUB. This tool provides a centralized administration portal as well as an end-user application accessible through Teams. With TeamsHUB, organizations can manage:

• External file sharing
• Lifecycle management for Teams archival and deletion
• Teams and SharePoint site provisioning, including access request workflows
• Guest access

Cyclotron's project services provide a solution for securing and meeting compliance requirements in Microsoft Teams over six weeks with a Cyclotron security consultant. This engagement may vary depending on the size of the organization and the level of complexity.

At minimum, Cyclotron recommends that organizations should have Office 365 E3 for licensing, but it is recommended to have at least Microsoft 365 E3 for licensing to be effective in this product. Microsoft 365 E5 licensing adds additional capabilities. This offer can also be used to justify Microsoft 365 E5 within an organization.​​​​​​​
