LET US REPORT ON YOUR MICROSOFT TENANT SECURITY
Microsoft 365 is the backbone of modern work—but visibility gaps, misconfigurations, and identity‑based attacks often go unnoticed without continuous monitoring.
Common impacts include:
- Account takeover and identity compromise
- Data leakage and unauthorized access
- Email and collaboration security gaps
- Compliance and audit failures
According to Egress’ “Outbound Email: Microsoft 365’s Security Blind Spot” report, based on independent research by Arlington Research, 85% of organizations using Microsoft 365 experienced an email data breach within a 12‑month period.
This doesn’t mean Microsoft 365 is broken—it means security requires ongoing oversight.
