Microsoft 365 Admin & Governance

Make Microsoft 365 predictable, secure, and easier to run. We harden Entra ID, tame sharing defaults, align compliance, and prepare you for Copilot—without slowing the business down.

Outcomes we deliver

  • Security baseline: MFA/Conditional Access, session hardening, privileged roles under control
  • Sharing & lifecycle: guest access rules, sensitivity labels, DLP policies that reflect risk
  • Compliance & records: retention labels/policies, eDiscovery with clear SOPs
  • Copilot readiness: least-surprise defaults, labeling strategy, safe data access patterns

Typical engagements

Baseline & quick wins (2–4 weeks)

Rapid posture review, legacy auth block plan, CA cleanup, and guest sharing defaults.

Governance rollout (4–8 weeks)

Labels/DLP, eDiscovery alignment, admin SOPs, and site/team provisioning rules.

Process that keeps momentum

  1. Discovery & posture review (lightweight, targeted)
  2. Plan & backlog with risk/impact, mapped to business timelines
  3. Iterative changes with rollback points and change notes
  4. Validation & handover with admin-ready documentation

FAQs

Do we need E5 for this?

Not necessarily. We map what you own (E3 + add-ons) to outcomes, then identify gaps if any.

Will this slow collaboration?

No—governance is designed to reduce risk without adding daily friction for users.
