Azure & M365 Security in short

Azure and M365 security involves optimizing and strengthening Microsoft cloud security, including O365 services, to meet organizational needs. We consult clients on identity and access management, security policies, and best practices using Entra, Intune, Defender, and Purview. Our goal is to fine-tune Microsoft’s security mechanisms to effectively support business operations without unnecessary restrictions.

For us, supporting business operations means ensuring that both IT and leadership can confidently trust that users can perform their daily tasks securely with the provided tools, minimizing risks of security breaches and incidents. We also assist in security architecture design, helping organizations secure and manage their M365 and Azure environments, including workstations and mobile devices.

Our mission is to provide clients with a comprehensive understanding and best practices for operating securely within the Microsoft ecosystem.

Customer needs and challenges to be solved

Enhancing an organization’s security posture within Azure, M365, and O365 is often too vast and complex to handle solely in-house. We help define the right strategy, identify critical security gaps, and ensure maturity progresses in a structured manner. Our consulting services bridge missing expertise, offering practical solutions to resource challenges, incident analysis, and outsourcing needs.

Common Challenges We Address:

• Overwhelming scope – Where to start and how to break it down
• Lack of specialized expertise and general resource constraints
• Achieving the right security maturity level within the required timeframe
• Incident assessment and analysis
• Evaluating outsourcing needs and defining a viable outsourcing strategy
• Current IT providers taking an overly IT-centric approach instead of a security-first focus

We ensure that your security investments are aligned with business priorities, balancing practicality, risk reduction, and operational efficiency.
