Microsoft 365 Security
Confused by multiple, overlapping security standards? LBT keeps it simple and secure with practical Microsoft 365 checks, continuous monitoring, and reporting your team can track and audit.
Threat protection focus through secure configuration and monitoring.
Continuous visibility into changes that can weaken your Microsoft 365 posture.
Reporting that helps you track progress and prove security improvements.
What We Review
Here are some of the things LBT looks at, why they matter, and how we help keep the environment protected as settings, users, and business needs change.
Multi-factor authentication is the number one protector against threats facing your M365 environment. Password attacks continue to rise, so getting access controls right is critical.
We help set up MFA for users and admins, then monitor which accounts have the right protections enabled or disabled.
Phishing can expose private data quickly when a user is hooked by a malicious email. Mailbox rules, attachments, and audit logging need active oversight.
We configure attachment protection policies, external forwarding rules, and audit settings to reduce email compromise risk.
Private information must stay private wherever it lives. Guest access and external sharing can quietly become a major data exposure risk.
We monitor guest access, establish sharing rules, and keep audit visibility available for suspicious activity.
How It Works
LBT turns Microsoft 365 security into a managed process, not a one-time checklist. The goal is simple: fewer gaps, faster detection of risky changes, and clearer reporting for leadership and audits.
Review your current Microsoft 365 configuration and identify high-priority gaps.
Implement practical controls for identity, mailbox, sharing, and audit visibility.
Watch for configuration drift so risky changes do not quietly weaken your posture.
Keep track of improvements and make security easier to explain during reviews.
Next Step
Ask LBT to review your M365 access, mailbox, sharing, and audit controls.
Confused by multiple, overlapping security standards? We like to keep it simple and secure with security checks that protect you against 99.9% of threats, continuous monitoring to make sure changes to those settings are quickly detected to stay protected, and reporting so you can track and audit on your progress along the way.
Here are just some of the things we look at and why it should matter to you!
| What we Check | Why it Matters | What we Do |
|---|---|---|
| ✓ Administrative MFA | Multi-factor authentication is the #1 protector against threats facing your M365 environment and with the volume of password attacks rising to an estimated 921 attacks every second — a 74% increase in just one year — having this set up is absolutely critical to your organization’s security | Set up MFA for 100% of users — whether admin or not — with settings to let us know exactly which users have it enabled or disabled. |
| ✓ User MFA | ||
| ✓ Conditional Access |
| What we Check | Why it Matters | What we Do |
|---|---|---|
| ✓ External Mail Forwarding | 710 million phishing emails are blocked per week and it only takes an attacker about one hour to access private data if your employee falls victim to a phishing email. | Keep your employees from getting hooked by a phishing attempt by setting up attachment protection policies and external mail forwarding rules. |
| ✓ Safe Attachments | ||
| ✓ Unified Audit Log |
| What we Check | Why it Matters | What we Do |
|---|---|---|
| ✓ Teams — External/Guest Access | Data breaches increased by as much as 775% since 2017 and its not just the big name companies. Over half of all cyberattacks are committed against small-to-midsized businesses (SMBs), and 60% of them go out of business within six months of falling victim to a data breach or hack. | Ensure private information stays private no matter where its stored by monitoring guest/external access, establishing sharing rules and making sure we can audit events to identify any suspicious activities. |
| ✓ SharePoint — External/Guest Access | ||
| ✓ OneDrive — External/Guest Access |
