Power up M365 security | Focus Group

Optimise your Microsoft 365 environment

The Microsoft 365 infrastructure is used by over 360 million people and represents one of the most fast paced, globally popular platforms in the world. However, without the correct set up and ongoing configurations, many of the built-in security features available in your tenancy are rarely implemented or optimised.

M365 Protect eliminates these security gaps through expert-driven automation that converts your Microsoft 365 platform from a security risk into a comprehensive defence system. By ensuring proper configuration management and continuous monitoring, the service will help you avoid joining the increasing number of businesses that suffer security incidents due to insufficient security oversight and management.

Maintain best practice security

M365 Protect is an innovative service developed to actively monitor every aspect of your Microsoft 365 environment and provide best practice security recommendations. Building on your trusted security framework, we’ll proactively ensure your setup stays compliant with evolving security standards and promptly alert your team to any risks or anomalies.

The service will continuously monitor your M365 tenant for changes to your Microsoft Secure Score, security policy changes and new developments in applications that have an implication on best practice security.

Automate baseline deployments

Microsoft implement change and improvements across the M365 cloud infrastructure regularly, often in response to new threats or vulnerabilities. Ensuring that you receive all these changes immediately is a key part of your overall security strategy. The M365 Protect service ensures critical updates are automated, verifiable and measurable.

In essence, Microsoft 365 Protect delivers the proactive, professionally managed security framework your business requires to safely maximise the value and capabilities of your Microsoft 365 investment.

Why is M365 Protect needed?

The cyber security landscape for Microsoft 365 environments has never been more challenging, with statistics revealing the urgent need for proactive security management. In a recent report, 85% of companies using Microsoft 365 experienced security breaches, highlighting the widespread vulnerability of organisations relying solely on default configurations.

Microsoft's platform serves over 360 million users globally but many businesses fail to leverage the comprehensive security features built into their tenancy. Microsoft tracks more than 78 trillion signals daily, helping security teams identify vulnerabilities with greater efficacy and stay ahead of today's cyberthreats, yet without proper configuration and ongoing management, these powerful protective capabilities remain underutilised. The complexity of maintaining security in such a dynamic environment means that critical updates, policy adjustments, and threat responses often fall through the cracks, leaving businesses exposed to evolving cyber threats.

M365 Protect addresses these critical gaps by providing the expertise and automation necessary to transform your Microsoft 365 environment from a potential liability into a robust security foundation. The service ensures that your business doesn't become part of the concerning statistic where businesses experience security breaches due to inadequate configuration management.
