Securing your Microsoft 365 tenant goes beyond configuration. It requires a layered approach involving protection, detection, and response.
This can be included at a modest additional fee and is a powerful addition to your cyber resilience.
Detection is as critical as protection: it enables us to respond quickly and decisively if an incident ever does occur.
Concerned a hidden weakness could lead to downtime or data loss? We advise beginning with a risk assessment and deliver services aligned to recognised frameworks such as CIS or Cyber Essentials, giving you full confidence in your security posture.
With phishing affecting 85% of UK businesses, human error is often the biggest risk. Our managed services include options for security awareness training, phishing simulation, and guidance to ensure that end users are equipped to make good decisions.
How quickly would you know if someone gained unauthorised access to your Microsoft 365 environment? Our log monitoring service offers real-time visibility into sign-in activity, permission changes, unusual behaviour, and more – providing the detection capability needed to respond quickly.
From a technical standpoint, we can deploy and manage a range of measures such as: 24/7 Security Operations Centre (SOC) monitoring, Internet and email filtering, Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Multi-factor authentication and secure access policies
Most issues are resolved on the very first call, so your team can get back to work without delays or escalations.

You get a complete set of productivity tools designed to streamline communication and support hybrid working across your business.
The benefits of moving to Microsoft 365 are:
Cost savings: Microsoft 365 removes the need for expensive on-premise infrastructure. We ensure you’re on the correct licences to avoid unnecessary spend, and you'll also benefit from our all-inclusive support model - giving you a predictable monthly fee.
Scalability: As your business grows, Microsoft 365 grows with you. Adding users, apps or security controls is fast and seamless, ensuring your technology never limits your operational needs.
Business continuity: With secure cloud storage and resilient backups, Microsoft 365 offers stronger protection than traditional onsite systems. Your data stays accessible and safeguarded, even during local outages or hardware failures.
Better performance: Microsoft 365 delivers consistently high uptime and faster performance across email, Teams, SharePoint and all cloud services. Your team works more efficiently, with fewer interruptions and a more reliable day-to-day experience.
With so many options, choosing the right plan can be difficult - and expensive if you pick the wrong one. Our Microsoft consultants review your business requirements, compliance expectations and long-term plans, then recommend the ideal package. Whether it's Business Premium or Enterprise plans like E3 or E5, we make sure you get maximum value from the licences you pay for.
