What's Included With Cloud & Microsoft 365
Your Microsoft 365 Settings Matter More Than You Think
Many Microsoft 365 compromises don’t involve sophisticated attacks. They succeed because multi-factor authentication isn’t enforced, legacy sign-in methods are still allowed or files are shared publicly by default.
What We Harden
- Multi-factor authentication enforced for every user
- Legacy authentication blocked
- Conditional access policies where your license supports them
- Admin accounts separated and protected
- External sharing limited to what your business needs
- Mailbox forwarding to outside addresses controlled
- Alerts for risky sign-ins and suspicious activity
- Backups of mail and files
Ongoing Support
Settings drift as staff and needs change. We monitor, review and support your tenant as part of managed cloud services. For compromised account detection, see cloud detection and response.
The Technical Side

Office 365 Support and Consulting in West Palm Beach: Common Questions
Is Microsoft 365 secure out of the box?
It has strong security features, but many are not turned on or configured by default. Hardening closes those gaps.
What is conditional access?
Rules that decide who can sign in, from where and on which devices, such as blocking sign-ins from unmanaged devices or unusual locations. Availability depends on your license.
What is Microsoft Secure Score?
A Microsoft tool that measures your security configuration and recommends improvements. We use it as one input when hardening a tenant.
Can you check our tenant now?
Yes. A Microsoft 365 security review shows what is configured and what is missing.
What are security defaults in Microsoft 365?
Security defaults are a basic set of protections Microsoft can turn on, including MFA for all users. Businesses with Business Premium usually get better control from conditional access policies instead.
Why block automatic email forwarding?
Attackers who take over a mailbox often set up forwarding rules to quietly copy mail to outside addresses. Blocking or alerting on external forwarding stops that.
