Maximising Microsoft 365
Get more for your money from M365
Microsoft 365 offers an overwhelming array of features and subsequent configuration settings. From collaboration tools to advanced security settings, it has everything your business needs to thrive. But there is a lot to consider - which options are “must-haves”, how secure you should be, and which settings will impact your people. Let’s face it - with so many options available, it’s easy to get lost in the noise of endless tick-boxes and feature lists and drop it into the too-hard basket.
At Mohawk, we take a different approach. We focus on helping you get the most out of your Microsoft 365 licensing – whether you’re using Business Premium, Education, or Enterprise. It’s not just about turning on every feature. It’s about aligning these tools with your business goals to enhance productivity, collaboration, AND security.
Time and time again, we see best practices not being implemented. Check with your provider to make sure you have got these features in place!
The top 6 configuration gaps we still see (spoiler, there is NO reason not to implement these):
Attack Surface Reduction Rules not in block mode, preventing attackers to use common vulnerabilities in (Microsoft) applications.
Missing (or a minimal set of) Conditional Access Policies, leaving holes in your attack surface including Disabling Device Code Flow, Securing Registration, and MFA for Guest Users.
Users are not being prevented from creating applications, leaving attackers with the ability to hide in your environment forever.
Microsoft Defender "Preset Security Policies" and Entra ID "Security Defaults" are left in place after onboarding. To configure security optimally, you must replace these with better custom security controls.
Critical users (Privileged admins, C-levels, HR, Finance) not being protected with better security controls making them vulnerable to targeted attacks.
Entra ID Sign-in and Audit logging not in place (no insight into who did what)
From Outlook to Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, we ensure your team works seamlessly, no matter where they are.
Collaboration: With the right configuration and training, your workforce can communicate better and stay on the same page.
Security: We leverage Microsoft 365’s built-in security capabilities and best practices to protect your organisation from vulnerabilities, ensuring compliance and peace of mind.
A Tailored Service: Our mission is to offer enterprise-grade services for the mid-market. We bridge the gap between licensing potential and real-world business needs, delivering solutions that work for you.
Stop settling for mediocre services and under-utilised licences. Let Mohawk help you unlock the full power of Microsoft 365 and take your business to the next level. Ready to make it happen? Let’s talk!
