The tenant most businesses inherit
A Microsoft 365 tenant set up by whoever signed up first, years ago, usually looks like this: the owner's account is the global admin and is used for email every day, MFA is "available" but not enforced, legacy authentication is still allowed, external forwarding is on, nobody has looked at the audit log, and there are a dozen unused licenses being paid for every month. It works, right up until one phished password gives an attacker the whole business.
We fix that in the first two weeks, then keep it fixed.
What a secured tenant looks like
- Separate admin accounts, protected by MFA, never used for mail
- MFA enforced for every user through conditional access, with legacy protocols blocked
- Anti-phishing, safe links, and safe attachments policies tuned for your business
- External forwarding rules blocked and alerts on new inbox rules
- Audit logging retained and reviewed
- SharePoint and Teams structured so the right people see the right files, and former users' data is retained
- Licensing right-sized every quarter
Migrations without the bad Monday
Moving from Google Workspace, an on-premise Exchange server, or a GoDaddy-hosted tenant is a project we run regularly for Sarasota-area practices and firms. Mail, calendars, contacts, and files move in stages, DNS cuts over after hours, and staff arrive to the same mailbox in a new place. We stay on site the first morning.
Backup is not retention
Microsoft keeps deleted items for a limited window and offers no point-in-time restore for a ransomware event or a malicious deletion. We add a dedicated Microsoft 365 backup covering mail, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams, with retention you control.
Copilot, honestly
Copilot for Microsoft 365 can save real time for people who write a lot: proposals, summaries, meeting notes. It also surfaces every file a user has access to, which in a tenant with sloppy permissions means it surfaces things it shouldn't. We do a permissions and data-governance review before any Copilot rollout, then pilot it with the two or three people who'll benefit most. More on how we approach AI.
What it costs
Microsoft 365 management is included in our managed plan. Migrations are quoted per project. Licensing is billed at Microsoft's price with no markup games.
