MICROSOFT 365 SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE

One exposed Microsoft 365 account is all it takes.

That's how business email compromise reaches your finance team, or your customers.

We close the security gaps that let attackers gain that access in the first place, before a fraudulent invoice is ever approved.

THE CHALLENGE

Most Microsoft 365 environments have the same problems.

If your organisation runs on Microsoft 365, the chances are these issues apply right now.

01
You are probably exposed right now.
Default settings leave you exposed

Out-of-the-box Microsoft 365 configurations are not designed with security in mind. Most tenants are missing MFA enforcement, have legacy authentication enabled, and sharing policies wider than they should be.

02
Your configuration is already drifting.
Compliance is not a one-time task

Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, and GDPR are not one-off exercises. Standards change. Configurations drift. Audits recur. Treating compliance as a project rather than an ongoing commitment leaves gaps.

03
When something breaks, who owns it?
There is no one reliable to call

Small and mid-sized organisations rarely have dedicated IT security resource. When something goes wrong with Microsoft 365, the response is slow, generic, or handled by someone who does not specialise in it.

THE JOURNEY

From unknown risk to managed compliance.

Three stages. One case file. Start where you need us, and continue when you are ready.

OUR PROCESS

A process built around clarity, not complexity.

Discovery call

A free 30-minute call to understand your environment, your concerns, and where you want to get to. No sales pitch.

Scoped assessment

We agree a fixed scope and fixed fee. You know exactly what you are getting and what it costs before we start.

Assessment & report

We run the assessment and produce a clear findings report with a prioritised remediation plan you can act on immediately.

Remediation & review

We can implement the remediation ourselves or work alongside your internal team. We follow up to confirm every finding is resolved.

Ongoing management

Configurations drift and standards change. We monitor yours continuously and put fixes in place before your next audit finds them.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Built for organisations that take IT seriously.

We work with UK organisations that run on Microsoft 365, whether or not you have anyone technical in-house. That includes small businesses with no IT person, where we act as your Microsoft 365 expert, and larger teams with an IT manager or provider, where we add senior security and compliance depth alongside them.

We are not the right fit for every organisation. We work best with clients who want a clear scope, a straightforward working relationship, and a senior consultant who takes ownership of the outcome.

Good fit if
You use Microsoft 365 and have never had a formal security review
You are preparing for or maintaining Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001 certification
You need reliable ongoing IT support without hiring in-house
You want to get more value from the Microsoft tools you already pay for
You want a consultant, not a managed service provider with a helpdesk queue
Not the right fit if
You want the cheapest possible fix, not the correct one
You need a large in-house team managed day-to-day, not a senior consultant

WHY DATATECHS

Less uncertainty. More accountable delivery.

Our model removes the four risks that make technology projects harder than they need to be.

  1. Senior resource on every engagement

    5+ years of Microsoft-certified experience on every project. The person you speak to is the one who does the work, never delegated to junior staff after the sale.

  2. Fixed scope, fixed fee

    Scoped and priced before work begins. No hourly billing, no change orders for things that should have been in scope.

  3. Local base, national reach

    Peterborough-based, UK-wide delivery: remote by default, on-site when the work needs it.

  4. Built to extend your team

    We work alongside your existing IT function, not in place of it.

CLIENT FEEDBACK

What our clients say.

“

Marcus carried out a number of important IT infrastructure projects for us, such as the upgrade to Windows 11, the application of security patches, and a large-scale refresh of laptops throughout the UK and Europe. He was fully in charge of all aspects of these projects, making sure that everything remained organised, on schedule, and clearly communicated, even though the environment was highly regulated. Because of his systematic and open approach, our complicated migrations went off without a hitch and caused no disruption. If you're looking for an infrastructure specialist that you can truly count on, then I strongly recommend Marcus.

FAQ

Common questions.

What size of organisation do you typically work with?

Anything from a small business with no IT staff to an organisation of around 200 employees with its own IT team. If you have nobody technical in-house, we explain everything in plain English and handle the work. If you have an IT manager or an IT provider, we work alongside them on the security and compliance side.

Do you offer ongoing support or just project work?

Both. We offer one-off assessments and projects alongside ongoing monthly services, including IT Helpdesk and Managed Compliance. Many clients start with an audit and move on to ongoing support.

How long does a Microsoft 365 security audit take?

A standard audit typically takes two to three weeks from initial access through to delivery of the final report. This includes the assessment, findings review, and a written report with prioritised remediation steps.

Do we need to be on a specific Microsoft 365 plan?

No. We work across all Microsoft 365 plans, including Business Basic, Business Premium, and Enterprise tiers. Part of our initial assessment often includes a licence review to ensure you are on the right plan for your requirements.

What happens after the audit?

You receive a written report detailing every finding, its risk level, and what needs to change. We can then quote to remediate the issues directly, or you can take the report and act on it with your own team. There is no obligation to continue.

Do you work with businesses outside Peterborough?

Yes. We are based in Peterborough but work with clients across the UK. The vast majority of our work is delivered remotely, and Microsoft 365 is a cloud platform, so location is rarely a factor.

Are you a Microsoft Partner?

Yes, Datatechs holds Microsoft Partner status. Our consultants hold active Microsoft certifications across administration, endpoint management, Power BI, and Azure. We keep these up to date as Microsoft updates its certification programmes.

How is pricing structured?

Project work is priced at a fixed fee agreed before the engagement begins. Ongoing services such as IT Helpdesk and Managed Compliance are charged as a monthly fee. We will always give you a clear figure before any work starts.
