Microsoft 365 Productivity & Control

How well is your Microsoft spend protecting, supporting and enhancing your organisation?

Most organisations use a fraction of what their Microsoft 365 licences include, and carry configuration risks they are not aware of. This diagnostic scores your M365 environment across five control areas and delivers a PDF report with practical next steps.

Education & Membership pressure

Education organisations need to configure M365 to manage safeguarding obligations, student data governance, and guest access for parents and external partners, none of which the defaults handle correctly.

Risk example

Student data accessible via Teams guest accounts that were never removed after a school year; staff OneDrive containing safeguarding documentation with unrestricted sharing.

What is assessed

Five control areas.

Likely operational impact

Safeguarding risk, Ofsted or DfE concern, or GDPR breach via a misconfigured sharing policy.

What it finds

The gaps this diagnostic is built to surface.

  • Licences that include Defender, Purview, or Intune that have never been turned on: paid for but providing no protection.
  • Security defaults that were left at out-of-the-box settings from deployment day, now years out of date.
  • Conditional Access policies that are too permissive, too restrictive, or simply missing for key user groups.
  • Email and collaboration security gaps: spoofing protection, external sharing policies, and guest access that has never been reviewed.
  • Teams and SharePoint that have grown without governance: data sprawl, stale sites, and permissions that no one manages.
  • AI readiness gaps that will block or compromise Copilot deployment because data permissions and labelling are not in order.

What you receive

What organisations find

We discovered that Defender for Office 365 had been included in our licence for two years and was completely unconfigured. The review identified that and a further eleven security gaps we were not aware of.
