CLD / CLD-03
Microsoft 365 security implementation
Strengthen identity, data, collaboration and security visibility coherently in a Microsoft 365 environment. The project starts from actual licensing and usage rather than assuming features are available.
WHEN IT HELPS
A focused response
to a defined need.
Rapidly deployed tenant, merger project, excessive external sharing, desire to use already licensed protection or preparation for an AI assistant connected to documents.
SCOPE & OUTCOMES
What the engagement covers.
Scope
- Administrative roles
- authentication
- devices and access according to licensing
- SharePoint/OneDrive/Teams
- sharing
- classification/DLP
- application consent
- logs
- administrative recovery
Deliverables
- Initial assessment
- license-to-feature matrix
- hardening plan
- configurations
- role-based tests
- exception register
- operations procedures
- administrator training
Acceptance evidence
Agreed controls are tested; emergency accounts are protected; sharing is verified; permissions and logs align; unavailable features are identified rather than billed as already covered.
DELIVERY
How the work is structured.
Approach
Inventory accounts and use; clarify responsibilities; design policies; pilot; test and deploy; organise drift, exceptions and operations.
Prerequisites & responsibilities
Customer: tenant/account access, billing, data owners, administrators and residency constraints. Provider: architecture and configuration under shared responsibility.
Scope factors
Clouds, accounts, regions, resources, tenants, clusters, connectors and automation maturity. Consumption, transfers, storage and licenses are separate from the service.
Questions to clarify
Which licenses and user groups are involved? Which external sharing is essential? Who administers the tenant and monitors alerts?
IMPORTANT BOUNDARIES
A dashboard score is not compliance or absolute security. Capabilities vary by license, product and configuration; independent backup and SOC services require explicit scope.
Capabilities vary by edition, region and availability status. A posture score is neither certification nor a guarantee of complete detection.
IN PRACTICE
Illustrative situations.
These examples describe possible engagements and target outcomes. They are not customer references or achieved results.
Scenario 01
A company owns advanced licenses but uses few controls. Project: select relevant controls and deploy them by user group. Target outcome: usable protection without abruptly enabling every restriction.
Scenario 02
A group prepares a document assistant. Project: clean up SharePoint permissions and guests before connection. Target outcome: controlled document scope; excessively open workspaces are fixed or excluded from the AI pilot.
Technology and reference context
Examples: Microsoft Entra, Defender and Purview according to licensing; integration with third-party tools after validation.
The final technology set is agreed during scoping, based on interoperability, licensing, access rights and operating requirements.
CONNECTED SERVICES
