Most Microsoft 365 security incidents are not sophisticated attacks. They are the result of misconfiguration, missing Conditional Access policies, and accounts that should have been closed months ago. Inspizer identifies and closes those gaps.
Conditional Access, Intune, Defender and Entra ID — configured correctly from day one, not retrofitted later.
Most Microsoft 365 security incidents are preventable. The same misconfiguration patterns appear again and again — and the gaps are almost always introduced by oversight, not by attack sophistication.
Inspizer implements the security controls that close the most common Microsoft 365 attack vectors — and maintains them as Microsoft's threat landscape evolves.
Identity lifecycle management, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), access reviews, and the group-based access structures that make identity governance sustainable rather than a one-time cleanup.
Risk-based Conditional Access policies that enforce context-aware access without blocking legitimate productivity. MFA requirements, compliant device enforcement, named location policies, and sign-in risk configuration.
Device compliance policies, mobile application management (MAM), app protection policies for BYOD scenarios, and the configuration profiles that enforce security baselines across the device estate.
Defender for Office 365 anti-phishing, Safe Links and Safe Attachments, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint integration, and threat investigation and response configuration.
Enforcing multi-factor authentication across the entire organisation — including legacy application migration, Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR), and Authenticator app deployment.
Technical controls implementation and documentation to achieve UK Cyber Essentials certification — covering all five control areas within the Microsoft 365 scope: firewalls, secure configuration, access control, malware protection, and patch management.
Security work starts with understanding what you have — and what the risk exposure actually is. We do not implement controls before we know what we are addressing.
A free 30-minute call to understand your current security posture, known concerns, and the outcomes you need from a security engagement.
A review of your Microsoft Secure Score, gap analysis against the CIS Microsoft 365 benchmark, and a manual review of the controls Secure Score does not cover.
A prioritised remediation plan with estimated risk reduction, effort, and implementation sequence — agreed before any changes are made to your environment.
We implement the agreed controls in a controlled sequence, with testing and rollback capability at each stage and change records for every modification made.
Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed cyber security certification scheme. It covers five technical control areas that close the most common attack vectors. Inspizer implements the Microsoft 365-relevant controls across all five areas and supports the self-assessment questionnaire process.
Configuring boundary firewalls and software firewalls on end-user devices — including the Windows Defender Firewall policies deployed via Intune and the network-level controls relevant to Microsoft 365 traffic.
Removing unnecessary software, services, and accounts. Configuring Microsoft 365 applications, Entra ID, and end-user devices to a known secure baseline — not default settings from deployment.
Enforcing least-privilege access in Entra ID, implementing MFA for all users, removing stale accounts, and ensuring that administrative access is appropriately controlled and reviewed.
Deploying and configuring Microsoft Defender Antivirus via Intune, Defender for Office 365 for email and collaboration malware scanning, and the application allow-listing controls that Cyber Essentials Plus requires.
Configuring Windows Update for Business via Intune to enforce patch timelines, ensuring Microsoft 365 application auto-update is enabled, and documenting the patching process for the self-assessment questionnaire.
Guiding you through the Cyber Essentials self-assessment questionnaire, reviewing your responses, and ensuring the evidence you have collected accurately reflects the controls in place before submission.
Modern security assumes breach. Every access request is verified against identity, device health, application context, and data sensitivity — regardless of network location.
Microsoft provides a Secure Score — a numerical rating of your tenant's security posture against a benchmark of recommended controls. We use this as the starting point for every security engagement, alongside a manual review of the controls that Secure Score does not fully capture — such as Conditional Access policy logic, guest access scope, and Privileged Identity Management configuration.
Conditional Access is Microsoft's policy engine for Entra ID — it controls who can access Microsoft 365 resources, from where, on what devices, and under what conditions. If your organisation uses Microsoft 365 and does not have Conditional Access policies in place, you have significant unmanaged identity risk. The absence of Conditional Access is the most common finding in every security engagement Inspizer runs.
Yes. Cyber Essentials covers five technical control areas — firewalls, secure configuration, access control, malware protection, and patch management. We implement the Microsoft 365-relevant controls across all five areas and help you prepare and review the self-assessment questionnaire before submission.
MFA is a necessary control, but it is not sufficient on its own. The most common gaps we find in organisations that have MFA deployed are: legacy authentication still enabled (bypassing MFA for older protocols), Conditional Access policies that exclude service accounts or named individuals, devices with Microsoft 365 access that are not under MDM management, and guest accounts with broader access than intended. MFA without Conditional Access enforcement is significantly weaker than it appears.
A Microsoft 365 security audit typically takes five to eight working days from access grant to written report. Implementation of the recommended controls is scoped separately — a standard baseline implementation (Conditional Access, MFA hardening, Secure Score improvements) typically takes three to five days of implementation work, delivered in planned change windows to minimise disruption.
No sales pitch. Just an honest conversation about what your Microsoft 365 environment needs and how we can help.
