Most Businesses Think Their Microsoft 365 Is Secure. Here's What's Usually Missing.
You moved to Microsoft 365 and assumed the security came with it. But Microsoft protects its cloud, not how you've configured yours. The default settings leave MFA optional, email easy to spoof, files over-shared, and your data with no real backup. We'll show you exactly where you're exposed, free.

"Microsoft Handles Security" Is Costing Businesses Their Data
Microsoft secures the platform. You are responsible for how it's configured, who can access it, and whether your data can be recovered. These are the six gaps we find in almost every tenant we audit.
MFA Isn't Actually On
Multi-factor authentication is off by default for most accounts, and 'security defaults' are easy to disable. One reused password is all an attacker needs to walk straight into your email and files.
No Conditional Access Rules
Without conditional access, anyone with a password can sign in from any country, on any device, at any time. No location limits, no device checks, no blocking of risky logins. Microsoft won't set this up for you.
Your Email Can Be Spoofed
Missing SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records let criminals send email that looks exactly like it came from your domain. It's the #1 way invoices get redirected and CEOs get impersonated. Most tenants have none of these configured correctly.
Microsoft Does NOT Back You Up
This shocks people: Microsoft's own agreement recommends third-party backup. Deleted emails, ransomware, or a disgruntled employee can wipe data that's gone for good after the retention window. You need real backup.
SharePoint Is Wide Open
Default SharePoint and OneDrive permissions often expose far more than intended: entire libraries of contracts, financials, and client data accessible to people who should never see them, sometimes via 'anyone with the link.'
External Sharing Runs Unchecked
Files shared with vendors and clients rarely get un-shared. Links live forever, guest accounts pile up, and data quietly leaks out of your tenant, with no alerting and no one watching.
The average business email compromise now costs $130,000+, and 90% of them start inside a misconfigured Microsoft 365 tenant. The platform is powerful, but out of the box, it is not secured for you. The fix is fast, and it starts with knowing exactly where you stand.
How Our Free Microsoft 365 Security Audit Works — In 5 Steps
No agents to install, no downtime, nothing for your team to do. We review your tenant securely and hand you a plain-English report of what's exposed and how to fix it.
Secure Read-Only Connection
We connect to your tenant with delegated, read-only access. No passwords shared, no changes made. Your environment keeps running exactly as it is.
25-Point Configuration Scan
We check MFA coverage, conditional access, admin roles, legacy authentication, email authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), backup, and external sharing against Microsoft's security best practices.
Exposure & Risk Report
You get a clear, prioritized report: what's already strong, what's exposed, and what each gap could cost you, written for owners, not just engineers.
Hardening Plan & Walkthrough
We walk you through the findings live, answer every question, and give you a fix-it roadmap. No jargon, no scare tactics, just the facts and your options.
We Lock It Down
If you'd like us to, we enforce MFA, build conditional access policies, configure email authentication, deploy real backup, and tighten sharing, usually within days, with zero disruption.
Ongoing Monitoring
We keep watching: new risky logins, oversharing, admin changes, and threats, with a real human help desk behind it, not just an alert no one reads.
What a Properly Secured Microsoft 365 Actually Feels Like
For 15+ years, Los Angeles businesses have trusted us to secure their Microsoft 365 the right way — locked down, backed up, and quietly watched, so you can stop wondering.
Microsoft-partner engineersMFA on Every Account
Strong multi-factor authentication enforced everywhere, including admins and shared mailboxes, so a stolen password no longer means a stolen business.
Smart Conditional Access
Sign-ins limited to trusted locations and managed devices, with risky logins blocked automatically. The right people get in easily; everyone else gets stopped.
Email That Can't Be Faked
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configured correctly so criminals can't spoof your domain, cutting off the most common path to wire fraud and invoice scams.
Real, Recoverable Backup
Independent, immutable backup of email, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams, so ransomware, accidental deletion, or a bad actor never costs you your data.
Files Shared on Purpose
SharePoint and OneDrive permissions cleaned up, 'anyone with the link' shut off, stale guest access removed, and external sharing controlled and monitored.
Reports You Can Actually Read
A clear security posture you can see, plus compliance-ready documentation for HIPAA, CMMC, SOC 2, and PCI. No black box, no guesswork.

Before & After: Two LA Businesses That Thought They Were Covered
Names withheld for privacy. Results are representative of our Microsoft 365 security engagements.
Marketing Agency · 32 staffOne Spoofed Email From a $48K Mistake
MFA off for half the team, no DMARC, and 'anyone with the link' sharing on by default. A spoofed email nearly redirected a client's payment, and finance had no way to tell it was fake.
MFA enforced everywhere, conditional access blocking foreign logins, SPF/DKIM/DMARC locked down, and link-sharing restricted. Spoofed mail now gets rejected before it ever lands.
Accounting Firm · 18 staffClient Tax Files Shared With the Whole Internet
Years of SharePoint oversharing left client financials reachable by stale guest accounts and public links. No Microsoft 365 backup meant one deletion could erase returns permanently.
Permissions rebuilt least-privilege, every public link and dead guest account removed, external sharing controlled, and immutable backup of email, SharePoint, and OneDrive deployed.
