Is Your Microsoft 365 Environment Actually Secure? Let's Find Out.
Most M365 tenants have critical security gaps that their IT team doesn't know about. Our structured security assessment tells you exactly where you're exposed — and gives you a prioritised roadmap to fix it.
Microsoft 365 is the most targeted platform for business email compromise, identity attacks, and data theft in Australia. It's also the most misconfigured. We've assessed hundreds of M365 tenants and the pattern is consistent — MFA gaps, overpermissioned accounts, guest access nobody's reviewed, and a Secure Score that hasn't moved in 18 months. The risk is real. The fix is structured. Our M365 Security Assessment gives you the complete picture in a format your team can actually act on.
Microsoft 365 Security Risks Most Businesses Don't Know They Have
These are the findings that come up in almost every M365 security assessment we conduct.
- •MFA is not enforced for all users — one compromised password gives an attacker full account access
- •Legacy authentication protocols are enabled — bypassing modern security controls entirely
- •Former staff accounts are still active with access to email, SharePoint, and sensitive documents
- •Guest and external sharing in SharePoint and Teams is unrestricted or poorly governed
- •Conditional access policies are absent or misconfigured — logins from anywhere, on any device, are allowed
Security gaps in Microsoft 365 are silent until they're catastrophic. An assessment is the only way to know what you're actually dealing with.

A comprehensive review of every security layer in your M365 environment — from identity to data protection.
Identity & Access Review
We assess MFA coverage, admin role assignments, privileged identity management, and account lifecycle hygiene. Identity is the front door — we check if it's locked.
Secure Score Analysis
Full review of your current Microsoft Secure Score with prioritised recommendations ranked by security impact and implementation effort.
Conditional Access Assessment
We review your conditional access policies — or identify where they're missing. Conditional access is one of the highest-impact controls in M365 and one of the most commonly absent.
Email Security Review
Assessment of your anti-phishing, anti-spam, DKIM, DMARC, and SPF configuration. Email is the primary attack vector for Australian businesses — we make sure your defences are properly configured.
Data & Sharing Governance Review
We assess SharePoint and OneDrive external sharing settings, Teams guest access, sensitivity labels, and DLP policies to identify where your data is exposed.
Threat Detection & Alerting Review
Review of your Defender for Office 365 configuration, alert policies, and incident response capability. We assess whether your environment would detect an attack in progress.
Compliance & Retention Review
Assessment of your data retention policies, eDiscovery readiness, audit logging, and compliance posture against relevant Australian regulatory requirements.
Remediation Roadmap Delivery
All findings compiled into a clear, prioritised remediation roadmap with risk ratings, recommended actions, and estimated implementation effort for each item.

A structured, non-disruptive process that delivers clear findings within 5–7 business days.
Scoping & Access Setup
We agree on assessment scope, establish read-only access to your M365 tenant, and confirm the key contacts and timeline. No disruption to your team.
Technical Assessment
We conduct a thorough review across identity, Secure Score, conditional access, email security, data governance, threat detection, and compliance configuration.
Risk Analysis & Prioritisation
All findings are analysed, risk-rated, and prioritised based on potential impact and remediation effort. Critical issues are flagged immediately.
Findings Report & Roadmap
You receive a clear findings report and prioritised remediation roadmap — written in plain English, with every recommendation explained and scoped.

We walk you through the findings in a live debrief session, answer questions, and help you plan next steps — whether that's self-remediation or engaging Technowand to fix it.
FAQs
What does the Microsoft 365 Security Assessment include?
The assessment covers identity and access management, Secure Score analysis, conditional access policies, email security configuration, data and sharing governance, threat detection and alerting, and compliance and retention posture. You receive a full findings report and prioritised remediation roadmap.
How long does a Microsoft 365 Security Assessment take?
The technical assessment typically completes within 3–5 business days. Findings are delivered within 5–7 business days from access being established, followed by a live debrief session. The process is designed to be non-disruptive to your team.
How is this different from standard IT support?
Standard IT support maintains your M365 environment day to day. A security assessment is a structured, point-in-time review that identifies security gaps, misconfigurations, and risks that ongoing support doesn't systematically surface. It's a diagnostic, not ongoing management.
Will this improve our Microsoft Secure Score?
The assessment identifies exactly which actions will improve your Secure Score and by how much. Following the remediation roadmap will result in measurable Secure Score improvement. Many clients see significant gains from the first wave of remediation alone.
Do you provide a remediation roadmap after the assessment?
Yes. Every assessment includes a prioritised remediation roadmap with risk ratings, recommended actions, and estimated implementation effort for each finding. If you'd like Technowand to implement the remediation, we can scope that as a follow-on engagement.
