Secure what you already own
Many businesses are already paying for Microsoft 365 security features, but they are not always using them properly. Before investing in more tools, it makes sense to review what is already available in your environment.
You may already have more protection than you think
Microsoft 365 is more than email, Teams, Word, Excel and cloud storage. It is also where access, identity, devices, data, email security and collaboration controls need to be managed carefully.
Review what is available in your current licence.
Identify which security controls are active and which need attention.
Make practical improvements before adding unnecessary tools.
Microsoft 365 can carry risk when it is not configured and reviewed properly.
Your business may already have powerful security features available, but if they are not activated, aligned and managed, gaps can build quietly across access, devices, data and email.
For Business Standard customers
Microsoft 365 Business Standard gives businesses a strong productivity platform, but important security basics still need to be reviewed and managed carefully.
This includes areas such as MFA, spam filtering, email filtering, malware protection, user access and data sharing.
Northbound Networks can assess your environment and recommend practical security improvements that align with your business needs and risk profile.
For Business Premium customers
Microsoft 365 Business Premium includes stronger security capabilities that many organisations never fully activate, configure or manage.
This can include Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, device management and stronger identity protection.
Northbound Networks helps businesses get more value from the protection already included in their subscription.
What we assess
A practical review of your Microsoft 365 security environment.
The assessment helps identify which security features are already available, which ones are being used properly, and where your environment may need better configuration or ongoing management.

Review whether MFA is enabled, applied consistently and supporting stronger identity protection.
Conditional Access
Assess whether access rules align with your users, devices, locations and business requirements.
Microsoft Entra ID
Review identity, user access, admin roles and sign-in controls across the Microsoft 365 environment.
Microsoft Intune
Understand whether device management controls are being used to support visibility and security.
Microsoft Defender
Review whether Defender capabilities are configured to support endpoint, email and threat protection.
Email and anti-phishing protection
Assess how email threats, suspicious links, attachments and impersonation risks are being handled.
