Cloud Security Assessment

Microsoft 365 Security Review

Cloud platforms like Microsoft 365 are powerful, but without the right security controls, they can introduce serious risk. StarSwift’s Cloud Security Assessment helps you uncover misconfigurations, protect sensitive data, and align with best practices, giving you clarity and control over your Microsoft 365 environment.

Service Description

Our Cloud Security Assessment is a structured review of your Microsoft 365 tenant, designed to help you understand and improve your cloud security posture. We examine identity and access controls, data protection settings, audit and logging capabilities, and third-party application usage. This includes:

  • Microsoft Secure Score analysis and recommendations
  • Conditional Access, MFA, and role-based access review
  • Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams configuration checks
  • Detection of risky or non-compliant sharing practices
  • Microsoft Purview, Defender, and compliance centre insights

Whether you’re new to Microsoft 365 or already fully adopted, our assessment ensures your cloud usage is secure, aligned with policy, and meets compliance requirements.

Why a Cloud Security Assessment?

While Microsoft 365 includes powerful security tools, many organisations fail to configure them correctly or take full advantage of their capabilities. Misconfigured permissions, data leakage, and poor alerting can leave you vulnerable. Our Cloud Security Assessment identifies these gaps and provides clear, actionable steps to mitigate them before they’re exploited.

What is a Cloud Security Assessment?

It is a structured review of your Microsoft 365 tenant to identify risks, misconfigurations, and improvement areas in your cloud security setup.

What does the assessment include?

We review identity and access settings, sharing permissions, data loss prevention, auditing, compliance tools, and more.

Do you provide a report?

Yes, you’ll receive a written report with technical and executive summaries, findings, and prioritised actions.

Will this affect our users or services?

No. The assessment is non-intrusive and uses read-only access or exported data.

Is this suitable for small organisations?

Absolutely. Many smaller organisations don’t realise how exposed they are. We help you fix that.

Do we need premium Microsoft licences?

No. We work with what you have but we will also flag if a specific licence feature could significantly improve your security.

What level of access do you need to perform the assessment?

We require temporary administrative-level access to your Microsoft 365 environment during the assessment. This allows us to review settings, configurations, and policies in detail. Access can be time-limited, and we follow strict confidentiality and security protocols throughout the engagement.

Do you assess other platforms like Google Workspace or AWS?

Yes, but this service focuses specifically on Microsoft 365. Ask us about other platforms too.

Will you fix things for us?

We can assist with implementation as part of a follow-up engagement if that would be beneficial.

How do we get started?

Just contact us for a discovery call. We will tailor the scope, explain the process, and book in your assessment.
