Default Microsoft 365 settings prioritize convenience — not security. We help IT and security teams clean up the M365 environment, identify risks, and build governance policies that fit your organization. In three weeks, we review over 100 settings and deliver specific, actionable recommendations.
Is this for you?
- M365 permissions run on default settings — everyone sees more than they should
- Teams, groups, and SharePoint sites grow without naming conventions or control
- Copilot cites confidential documents because permissions were never reviewed
- A security audit or certification is approaching (GDPR, NIS2, DORA) and governance documentation doesn't exist
- No one in the organization knows who is responsible for what data
What you get
- M365 environment diagnosis — analysis of the current configuration with risk identification
- Governance policy recommendations tailored to the organization's risk profile
- Roles and responsibilities matrix — clear division of administrative permissions
- Naming conventions for groups, sites, and teams
- "Which Tool When" scenarios — matching the right M365 tool to the business goal
- Copilot Governance, Monitoring & Legal module — for organizations deploying or planning Copilot
How it works

How many settings do you review? Over 100 settings affecting security, compliance, data access, and environment order.
