Microsoft 365 Security Services We Offer

Microsoft 365 Security Assessment

Our M365 security assessment reviews your entire Microsoft 365 environment against Microsoft best practices and the Microsoft Secure Score framework. We identify misconfigurations, gaps in identity protection, email security weaknesses, and data governance risks, then provide a prioritised remediation roadmap.

Identity & Access Management (Microsoft Entra ID)

Identity is the new perimeter in Microsoft 365. We configure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Conditional Access policies, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and identity protection features in Microsoft Entra ID to prevent unauthorised access and reduce the risk of credential compromise.

Email Security (Microsoft Defender for Office 365)

Email remains the primary attack vector for Australian businesses. We configure Microsoft Defender for Office 365 to protect against phishing, malware, Business Email Compromise, and impersonation attacks. This includes anti-phishing policies, Safe Links, Safe Attachments, and DMARC/DKIM/SPF configuration.

Endpoint Security (Microsoft Intune & Defender for Endpoint)

We deploy and configure Microsoft Intune for device management and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for advanced threat protection across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices, ensuring every device accessing your Microsoft 365 environment is secured and compliant.

Prevent sensitive data from leaving your organisation. We implement Microsoft Purview Information Protection policies, sensitivity labels, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) rules, and retention policies to protect your organisation’s data and meet compliance obligations under Australian privacy law.

Frequently Asked Questions — Microsoft 365 Security Melbourne

What is Microsoft Secure Score?

Microsoft Secure Score is a measurement of your organisation’s security posture within Microsoft 365 and Azure. It provides a numerical score based on your current security configurations, with recommendations to improve your score. CSIT uses Secure Score as a baseline during security assessments and tracks improvement over time. As part of our Microsoft 365 security services Melbourne offering, we use Secure Score as a baseline during security assessments.p>

How do we know if our Microsoft 365 environment has been compromised?

Common signs of M365 compromise include unexpected password reset requests, unfamiliar inbox rules, emails sent from your domain that you did not write, or alerts in Microsoft 365 Defender. Cloud Solution IT can conduct a rapid incident assessment if you suspect a compromise, and we can also implement proactive monitoring to detect threats early. Our Microsoft 365 security services Melbourne team can help detect and respond to these threats quickly.p>

Is Microsoft 365 security included in our subscription?

Microsoft 365 includes foundational security features in all plans, but advanced security capabilities such as Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 2, Microsoft Purview, and Microsoft Sentinel require Business Premium, E3, or E5 licences.
