Are There Gaps in Your Microsoft 365 Security?

Most Microsoft 365 environments have security gaps. Misconfigured access, inconsistent controls, and weak policy enforcement are common and often remain undetected until there’s an incident or audit.

ABT’s Microsoft 365 Security Assessment delivers an independent, structured review of your environment, providing a clear view of your security and compliance position, and the specific actions required to strengthen it.

Security Capabilities Only Deliver Value When Configured Correctly

Microsoft 365 includes a wide range of security capabilities, but these only deliver value when they are configured correctly and maintained over time.

Inconsistent Access Controls

Incomplete MFA rollouts and inconsistent identity policies leave gaps that attackers exploit.

Misconfigurations That Increase Exposure

Default settings and unmanaged policies create blind spots that silently increase your risk surface.

Limited Security Visibility

Without clear reporting, it’s difficult to know how security controls are actually performing across your tenant.

Framework Alignment Gaps

Essential Eight, NIST and CIS requirements are evolving. Most environments aren’t keeping pace.

Insurance & Compliance Pressure

Insurers and regulators are demanding evidence of active security controls and posture management.

Poor Overall Security Posture

Without a holistic view, security posture degrades over time as changes accumulate and go unreviewed.
