Microsoft 365 Security Baseline Assessment
Overview
Strong Microsoft 365 security begins with secure configuration. Our M365 Security Baseline Assessment is a structured, configuration-level review of your tenant aligned with CISA guidance and Microsoft security best practices.
Rather than focusing on long-term strategy, this engagement evaluates your current settings across core Microsoft 365 services to identify misconfigurations, high-risk exposures, and security gaps. The goal is to provide a clear, actionable view of where your environment stands today and what should be addressed first.
This assessment is designed to deliver immediate, practical insight into your security posture.
What the Assessment Covers
Our M365 Security Baseline Assessment focuses on configuration validation across core Microsoft 365 workloads, including:
- Identity and authentication configuration (Entra ID) fundamentals
- Conditional Access policies and MFA enforcement
- Exchange Online security and mail flow protections
- SharePoint and OneDrive configuration settings
- Defender security controls and protection posture
- External sharing, collaboration, and tenant restrictions
- Legacy authentication exposure and risk areas
- Administrative roles and privileged access configuration
The assessment is technical, evidence-based, and tailored to your tenant’s size, licensing model, and business risk profile.
Assessment Approach
We conduct the assessment using a structured methodology aligned to CISA Secure Cloud Business Applications (SCuBA) guidance and Microsoft security baselines.
We evaluate key configuration areas across your M365 tenant, including identity, authentication, Exchange security, collaboration settings, and administrative controls.
This phase focuses on identifying:
- Misconfigurations and high-risk settings
- Gaps in MFA and Conditional Access enforcement
- Legacy authentication exposure
- Excessive permissions and privilege risks
- External sharing and collaboration exposure
We compare your current settings against CISA SCuBA guidance and Microsoft security baselines to understand where you align—and where gaps create risk.
This phase focuses on:
- Mapping findings to CISA and Microsoft baseline recommendations
- Assessing severity and likely impact
- Separating quick wins from deeper configuration changes
- Highlighting configuration drift and inconsistent controls
We translate the findings into clear, prioritized recommendations designed to strengthen security without creating unnecessary operational friction.
This phase focuses on delivering:
- Prioritized remediation actions (what to fix first)
- Practical implementation guidance aligned to Microsoft capabilities
- Recommended policy and control improvements
- Optional next-step paths for deeper hardening or Zero Trust planning
The outcome is a clear and defensible view of your current M365 security posture.
Organizations leave with prioritized remediation direction, visibility into high-risk configuration gaps, and a practical path to strengthen their environment.
Deliverables
At the conclusion of the assessment, customers receive:
- An executive summary of key findings
