Security Posture Management
You set up MFA. You configured conditional access. You restricted admin accounts. And then six months passed.
New employees were onboarded with default permissions that nobody reviewed. A consultant was given admin access for a migration project — and nobody revoked it when the project ended. Conditional access policies don't cover a new application that was integrated last quarter. Legacy authentication protocols were re-enabled to solve a compatibility issue and never turned off.
This is configuration drift. It happens in every organisation. And it's the reason that the majority of successful breaches exploit misconfigurations — not software vulnerabilities. The front door is locked, but someone left a window open three months ago and forgot about it.
Security posture management is the continuous process of finding those open windows.
What we assess
Microsoft 365 Secure Score — Microsoft provides a security score based on your tenant configuration. Most companies sit between 30–50% out of the box. We systematically raise that score by implementing recommended controls, prioritised by actual risk impact rather than arbitrary point values.
Identity and access — Who has admin access? Is MFA enforced everywhere? Are conditional access policies covering all apps and all user groups? Are there stale accounts with active privileges? We audit continuously.
Endpoint configuration — Are all devices encrypted? Is the EDR agent running on every endpoint? Are devices compliant with your security baseline? We flag non-compliant devices before they become attack vectors.
Cloud configuration — Azure, AWS, Google Cloud — misconfigured cloud resources are one of the leading causes of data exposure globally. We assess storage permissions, network security groups, identity federation, and service configurations.
Email authentication — SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records properly configured and enforced. Without these, anyone can send emails that appear to come from your domain.
What's included
Initial posture assessment — A comprehensive review of your current security configurations. You receive a prioritised report: critical findings first, with plain-language explanations of what's wrong, why it matters, and exactly how to fix it.
Continuous monitoring — Configuration changes are monitored in real time. If someone disables MFA for an admin account, we know about it within minutes — not during next quarter's audit.
Prioritised remediation guidance — Not all findings are equal. We rank every issue by exploitability, impact, and effort to fix. You always know what to tackle first.
Monthly posture reports — Your security score, trend over time, new findings, resolved findings, and upcoming recommendations. Written so your board can read it and your IT team can act on it.
Compliance mapping — We map your posture against GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001, and CIS benchmark frameworks. When an auditor asks if you're compliant, you have the evidence ready.
FAQ
"How is this different from a penetration test?" A penetration test is a point-in-time exercise — someone tries to break in and writes a report. Posture management is continuous. We don't simulate attacks; we monitor the configurations that prevent them. Pen tests tell you if the lock can be picked. Posture management tells you if the lock is actually engaged, every day.
"Our Microsoft Secure Score is already decent." "Decent" is relative. A score of 60% means 40% of recommended controls aren't implemented. More importantly, Secure Score doesn't cover everything — it misses third-party integrations, cloud configurations outside Microsoft, and contextual risk factors specific to your environment. We go deeper.
"Can we fix the issues ourselves, or do you do it?" Both. We provide detailed remediation steps for every finding. Your internal IT can implement them, or we can handle it for you. Most clients choose a hybrid approach — they handle routine changes, and we handle anything touching security-critical configurations.
