Cyber Security/Harden/Microsoft 365 Hardening Review

Default does not
mean secure.

Legacy authentication, open sharing, unfiltered mail rules, guest access without limits: that is how a Microsoft 365 tenant ships — it is not set up for defence. We review Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, Intune and Microsoft Entra ID against the CIS benchmark and Microsoft recommendations, and name the operational impact of every change.
