Microsoft 365 Security Assessment
Find the gaps in your Microsoft 365 environment before an attacker does, with an expert-led assessment from CloudTech24, a UK Microsoft Tier 1 CSP partner. Microsoft 365 is one of the most widely used business platforms in the world, which makes it a high-profile target for cyber criminals. Organisations with default or partly configured tenants are often far more exposed than they realise.
Our Microsoft 365 Security Assessment identifies the hidden risks, misconfigurations and security gaps that leave your business open to attack. We assess your environment against recognised industry security baselines and Microsoft best practice, drawing on experience gained across hundreds of tenants. The review is low impact and led by our security specialists. You receive a clear, board-ready report and a prioritised roadmap that tells you what to fix first, and why.
Why you need a Microsoft 365 security assessment
Most cloud compromises do not begin with a sophisticated attack. They begin with a gap: a sign-in that circumvents multi-factor authentication (MFA) or causes MFA fatigue, an over-permissive connected application, a mailbox quietly forwarding to the outside world, or a file shared more widely than anyone intended.
These gaps are common, easy to miss, and rarely visible day to day. Any one of them can lead to account takeover, invoice fraud, or data leaving the business without a trace. The cost of an incident is significant, both financially and to your reputation, and organisations can also face penalties where sensitive data is not adequately protected.
Our assessment gives you an independent, expert view of where you stand and a clear plan to close the gaps that matter most, before someone else finds them.
How it works
The assessment is a fixed-time engagement and is carried out remotely by our in-house, expert cybersecurity team. It is low impact and does not change your live environment.
After a short kick-off call to understand your setup, our specialists carry out the assessment and produce your report and leadership summary, which are quality assured by a second peer review. We then discuss the findings with you and send over the full report, so you leave the meeting with both the detail and a clear set of next steps.

What is a Microsoft 365 security assessment?
It is an expert review of your Microsoft 365 security posture against recognised industry baselines and Microsoft best practice. Our assessment will clarify your current situation and include a prioritised improvement plan, covering the areas attackers target most.
How long does a Microsoft 365 security assessment take?
It is a short, fixed engagement, including an initial call, the assessment itself, a comprehensive report, a follow-up call to talk you through the findings, and the handover of your full report with leadership summary.
Will there be any negative impact on our staff or business operations?
No. The assessment is low impact. We review your security posture rather than changing live settings, so there is no disruption to your employees.
What do we receive at the end of the assessment?
You will receive a quality-assured, report, including a leadership summary, a check for exposed company credentials and email spoofing risk, plus a prioritised remediation roadmap.
Is this a penetration test?
No. It is an expert review of how your environment is configured, which is lower risk while still giving a complete picture. If you need offensive testing, take a look at our penetration testing service.
What happens after the assessment?
You receive your report with the prioritised recommendations. You can then choose to action the changes and remediations yourself or you can partner with us, and we will work with you to implement the necessary changes. Many of our clients adopt our Microsoft 365 baselines and ask us to keep them monitored over time.
Can you help us implement the recommendations?
Yes. We can provide consultancy and remediation support after the assessment, including hardening and implementation. This turns the report into measurable security improvement for our clients.
