Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, secured and governed.
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace security, anchored on the CIS Benchmarks. We assess, implement, and maintain the controls that protect sign-ins, sharing, app permissions, and admin access.
Where one account can affect everything.
Whether you use Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, it is where your team signs in, shares files, sends mail, and manages access. If those settings are insecure or misconfigured, a single account problem can quickly become a much larger security issue.
Collaboration Security & Management keeps that environment hardened and reviewed. We set a security baseline based on the CIS Benchmarks, tune it with lessons from real incidents, and regularly review sign-in policies, app permissions, external sharing, and admin access. Active threat monitoring is handled through Managed Detection and Response (MDR); when MDR is included, what we learn from investigations feeds back into the baseline.
Security and IT operations beyond the checkbox.
Same baseline. Two operating models.
We manage collaboration platforms in two distinct ways. The best fit depends entirely on how your current team is structured.
We run it end to end.
For fully managed engagements, we handle day-to-day administration of your collaboration platform as well as the security controls. That includes onboarding and offboarding users, resetting passwords and MFA, managing groups and distribution lists, setting up shared drives and mailboxes, assigning licenses, supporting SSO/SAML integrations, updating access policies, approving external sharing exceptions, and managing admin role grants.
We augment your IT team.
We manage the security configuration; your team handles daily operations. Clear handoffs keep both teams aligned when users join or leave, admin roles change, new SSO integrations are added, access policies are updated, sharing exceptions are approved, or app permissions need review. As a result, your team can focus on supporting users while we keep the environment hardened, reviewed, and governed.
