Microsoft 365 Advanced Security: 4 week Assessment

Cybersecurity is a major concern for any organization—no matter the size. Noventiq will help you to gain a better understanding of the risks and how to mitigate them. This engagement is particularly useful for security teams, IT teams, business leaders, and security-focused cloud teams.

Business objectives:

• Assess the organization’s threat landscape to reduce attack surface.
• Explore best practices & solutions to integrate without disrupting business.
• Build a roadmap with a clear vision for improving overall security posture.

Engagement Approach:

1. Listen: identify the key business goals. Workshops & interviews.
2. Collect: get a clearer picture of current security situation. Secure Score, Posture & Compliance Manager.
3. Analyse: sort things out. Evaluate gaps & recommendations.
4. Plan: build a strategy to move forward. Plan the journey with detailed stages.

During Assessment we will review how your company is using Microsoft 365 and Azure, whether the controls align with industry standards, and if you’re leveraging all the relevant security features.

Discovery stage:

• Compile inventory of operating systems, infrastructure, endpoints collecting hardware, software, and versions deployed.
• Create an overview of end-user identity management policies and usage data.

Data analysis:

• Review hardware refreshes for EOS and non-cloud compatible versions of operating systems.
• Evaluate security risks from identity control gaps, and provide policy guidance.
• Analyze security gaps, vulnerabilities, and make recommendations on mitigating by priority of risk impact.
• Align risk analysis based on applicable standards (Zero Trust Framework, or other applicable framework).

Coverage:

• Windows or virtual environment
• Endpoint management and security
• SQL and Windows Server
• Firewall instances and security software
• Shadow IT
• Cloud based security configuration.

The engagement takes approximately 4 weeks. During the evaluation we minimize the workload on your teams as much as possible, and it has zero impact on your end-users.

Post Completion of the Assessment we will assist in developing a practical action plan to address critical gaps and secure your infrastructure.

Key Deliverables:

• Executive summary presentation with a detailed set of reports
• Prioritized recommendations with the appropriate Microsoft security solution (Microsoft 365, Azure)

Noventiq can supplement the assessment with implementation support or managed services tailored to your needs.
