🛡️ Microsoft 365 Hardening & Security

Secure Your Email, Files, Identities & Devices — The Foundation of Modern Business Protection

Most small businesses rely on Microsoft 365 every day — for email, documents, Teams, OneDrive, and collaboration. But out of the box, Microsoft 365 is NOT secure.

Cyber attackers know this.
That’s why 60% of small-business breaches begin with Microsoft 365 misconfigurations, weak passwords, and insecure sharing.

Danguard provides enterprise-grade Microsoft 365 hardening tailored for small to mid-sized businesses and industrial operations. We ensure your Microsoft environment is properly protected, monitored, and aligned with modern cybersecurity standards.

These gaps expose your business to:

  • Ransomware

  • Email compromise (BEC)

  • Data leakage

  • Account takeover

  • Compliance failures

  • Operational downtime

Securing Microsoft 365 is the first and most important line of defense.

🚨 Why Microsoft 365 Needs Hardening

Most businesses unknowingly run Microsoft 365 with:

  • Weak or unenforced MFA policies

  • Insecure email forwarding rules

  • Global admin accounts with no protection

  • Unsecured mobile devices

  • Over-shared OneDrive/SharePoint documents

  • No alerting or logging

  • No backup or retention strategy

  • No safe link or safe attachment policies

 

🔧 What’s Included in Danguard’s Microsoft 365 Hardening Service

We perform a complete security configuration of your Microsoft tenant using proven best practices, including:

✔️ 1. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Enforcement

  • Enforce MFA for all users

  • Disable legacy authentication

  • Implement Conditional Access

  • Protect admin accounts with enhanced controls

“Password only” access is no longer acceptable for any business.

✔️ 3. Identity & Access Controls

  • Least privilege access

  • Admin role separation and just-in-time access

  • Review of external user access

  • Guest sharing restrictions

  • Sign-in risk detection

✔️ 5. Device Security (Windows, Mobile, BYOD)

Using Intune and M365 policies, we implement:

  • Device compliance baselines

  • Encryption (BitLocker) enforcement

  • Windows defender configuration

  • App protection for mobile devices

  • Lost device data-wipe policies

✔️ 7. Security Monitoring & Alerts

We set up security notifications so you know immediately if:

  • Someone tries to access your account

  • A risky sign-in occurs

  • Admin changes happen

  • Data leaves your environment unexpectedly

✔️ 2. Secure Email Configuration

We harden your email environment to stop phishing and identity attacks:

  • Anti-phishing policies

  • Anti-spam & anti-malware tuning

  • Safe Links & Safe Attachments

  • Blocking malicious forwarding rules

  • DMARC, DKIM, SPF validation

  • Alerting for suspicious sign-ins

✔️ 4. OneDrive & SharePoint Security

We lock down your business data:

  • Conditional access for synced devices

  • External sharing governance

  • File access auditing & logs

  • Secure document retention

  • Device compliance policies

✔️ 6. Collaboration & Teams Security

  • Secure guest access configuration

  • Meeting & chat retention settings

  • Restrict external chats where appropriate

  • Data loss prevention rules (optional)

✔️ 8. Backup & Retention Strategy

Microsoft 365 is not a backup platform.
We help you implement:

  • 30–90 day retention policies

  • Email archiving

  • OneDrive versioning

  • Optional 3rd-party cloud backup integration
