M365 environment security mapping
Why should a company conduct a security assessment of its Microsoft 365 environment?
Digitalization and continuous technical development create new types of security threats and risks that must be managed and prevented. The M365 security assessment is carried out to ensure that the company's business and the privacy of data and individuals can be secured.
The settings during the initial setup of the Microsoft 365 environment are not sufficient and no longer meet the recommendations. Old settings and usage patterns expose the new technology to security attacks and phishing, so they should be updated to new ones. When it comes to corporate security, it is worth remembering that security breaches almost always cause negative reputational damage among both customers and partners.
The purpose of a security assessment is to minimize potential security incidents and ensure that the company can quickly recover and continue its operations after a potential security incident. When it comes to security, you can never promise anything with 100% certainty, but the odds improve significantly when a company's security is up to date.
