M365 Security Hardening

For small businesses and nonprofits running Microsoft 365 without dedicated security staff — while handling donor data, client records, or financials that make them worth attacking.

Default settings are not safe settings

Small organizations and nonprofits are increasingly targeted precisely because they run on default Microsoft 365 settings without dedicated security staff — while often handling donor data, client records, or financials that make them worth attacking. This offering closes the gaps attackers rely on most: identity, email, and access control.

Identity & Email Foundations

The baseline every organization on Microsoft 365 should have in place.

🔑

Conditional Access Policies

Configured for high-risk users and risky sign-ins, so access is challenged exactly when the signals say it should be.

🔐

Phishing-Resistant MFA

Rollout of security keys and Windows Hello for Business — moving your organization beyond SMS and push codes, which attackers now bypass routinely.

📧

SPF, DKIM & DMARC

Properly configured for verified outbound mail — improving deliverability and closing the door on domain spoofing.

🛡️

Safe Senders & Secure Teams/Groups

Safe sender lists and secure Teams and group configuration, so collaboration tools don't become an open door.

🧭

Entra ID P1 Guidance

Entra ID P1 is already included in Business Premium — we show you how to actually use the capability you're already paying for.

Hardened Identity & Threat Defense

Everything in Essentials, plus deeper defenses against the specific techniques attackers use against organizations like yours.

🧑‍💼

Entra ID P2: Identity Protection & PIM

Identity Protection and Privileged Identity Management for just-in-time admin access — admin rights exist only when actually needed, not standing 24/7.

🛡️

Microsoft Defender for Microsoft 365

Deployment of advanced message scanning, Safe Links, and Safe Attachments — catching what basic filtering misses.

🚫

Legacy Auth & App Consent Review

Legacy authentication blocking and third-party app consent review — closing the loopholes attackers use to bypass MFA entirely.

🎯

Targeted Attack Defenses

Defenses against device code phishing, ClickFix attacks, and password-spray/brute-force attempts against Azure Resource Manager (CLI, PowerShell, Entra ID sign-in) — the techniques attackers are actually using right now.

People, Licensing & AI Readiness

Everything in Advanced Protection, plus the human and productivity layer.

🎓

Security Awareness Training

Phishing simulation campaigns for staff — since most of these attacks target judgment before technology.

🤖

Copilot License Guidance

Choosing between Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Chat based on your organization's actual usage needs — not the license that sounds best in a sales deck.

💻

GitHub Copilot License Selection

Right-sized GitHub Copilot license guidance for development teams.

Scoped to your organization

Every engagement is scoped to the organization's size, existing licensing, and risk profile. Pricing is negotiated per engagement rather than fixed — tell us where you stand today and we'll recommend the right tier to start with.

Most organizations start with Tier 1 and add Tier 2 or Tier 3 as licensing and risk profile evolve. There is no requirement to adopt all three tiers at once.
