Endpoint & Office 365

We onboard the agreed devices and align security policies. For email and collaboration, we configure the selected protection against malicious messages, links and attachments.

Frequently asked questions

Before you begin.

What does working with a Defender specialist deliver?

You receive a configuration for the agreed Defender components, with validated security policies and detection settings. Documentation and handover help your IT or security team assess alerts and administer the environment.

Which Microsoft Defender components can be implemented?

Support covers Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Office 365, Defender for Identity and Defender for Cloud Apps, integrated through Defender XDR. The exact scope depends on your environment, priorities and licences.

Can an existing Defender environment be improved?

Yes. For example, when devices are not correctly onboarded, policies do not fit the organisation or alerts are difficult to assess. We start with the specific problem and determine the changes needed.

What is the difference between Defender and Purview?

Defender supports protection and threat detection across your IT environment. Purview helps identify and protect sensitive information. Is your main focus classification, labels or DLP? See the Microsoft Purview specialist.
