M365 Managed Services

Microsoft 365 environment management for companies that build software on Azure.

Book a Discovery Call See our work

Most software companies use Microsoft 365 for email and Teams, and Azure for their product. The M365 environment gets set up once by whoever was available, and nobody owns it properly. Security defaults are on. Conditional Access is not. Entra ID is unconfigured. External sharing is open.

We manage M365 environments to the same standard as the production software we build. Security baseline configuration, Conditional Access policies, Entra ID hardening, DLP policies, and ongoing monitoring. The audit trail that FSCA and FCA want to see when they review your IT governance.

Because we also build on Azure, we can wire your M365 identity directly to your Azure resources — single sign-on, unified Entra tenant, and Managed Identity throughout.

What we deliver

  • M365 security baseline audit with remediation plan
  • Conditional Access policy design and implementation
  • Entra ID configuration (MFA, SSPR, PIM for privileged roles)
  • DLP policies for regulated data in Exchange, Teams, and SharePoint
  • Monthly security posture report with Secure Score tracking
  • Incident response procedure for identity-related events

Use cases

Where this applies.

Security hardening for audit readiness
FSCA and FCA expect documented IT governance. We configure, document, and evidence your M365 security controls before the audit request arrives.
Unified identity for Azure product teams
Connecting your M365 tenant to your Azure product environment. Single identity plane, Managed Identity for service accounts, no shared credentials.
Ongoing environment management
Monthly administration — license management, joiner/mover/leaver processes, security policy updates, and Secure Score improvement.
