Cloud Assessment – Cybersecurity Gaps

Microsoft 365 Assessment with 7 Tips for Success

Do you and your employees use Teams to interact virtually, SharePoint to share and collaborate on documents, OneDrive to store business and personal files, or Outlook’s web mail?

What you need to know

Microsoft takes the security of their platform very seriously, but that doesn’t protect you from your own people, who are often performing high-risk actions within these applications on a regular basis, regardless of whether their actions are accidental or malicious.

However, you are responsible to manage your configuration and resources within the Microsoft 365 environment.

 

Seven Keys to Cloud Success:

Your Microsoft Cloud success depends on these seven keys:

  • Resources Managed – Extra licenses that are being paid for and not used, and sometimes resources in Azure that are not needed, but charged for monthly by Microsoft.
  • Time Managed – It is very common for the environment to quickly get bloated with data, which can negatively impact performance and productivity.
  • Tenant Control – You cannot manage what you cannot see or control.  Without regular reporting and analysis of your Microsoft Cloud environments, there is no way for you to understand your risks, contain costs or improve productivity.
  • Protect Credentials – Protect account credentials and monitor changes within the Microsoft 365 environment stops 90% of attacks.
  • Monitor Threats – Know what insider threats might look like and prevent or alert on accidental mistakes.
  • Monitor Permissions – Know when permissions changes are necessary and verify users contain limited access accounts in accordance of “least privilege”.
  • Document Processes – From an operational standpoint, documented and followed processes need to exist for a successful environment.
