Specialist Microsoft 365 security consulting

Choose the Microsoft 365 security review that matches the decision in front of you.

TenantShield provides focused, analyst-reviewed assessments for lean IT teams. Start with a broad Microsoft 365 review or go deeper on a service where risk, change, or leadership attention is already concentrated.

Choose by business question

A specialist scope when the problem is already defined.

Each engagement is shaped around the services in use, the licenses available, the evidence that can support a conclusion, and the action your team expects to take next.

Buyer questions

Questions the scope should answer before access is requested.

What decision follows?

Is the work supporting a board update, customer request, insurance renewal, migration, security program, or a specific production change?

What is actually licensed?

Microsoft 365, Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Intune, Exchange Online, and Defender capabilities differ by subscription and configuration.

How deep should evidence go?

A useful scope identifies the products, populations, policy objects, logs, exceptions, and operational records required for defensible conclusions.

Assessment process

A controlled review from scope to decision.

01 · SCOPE

Define the question

Confirm the decision, services, licenses, environment outline, stakeholders, exclusions, timing, and expected deliverables.

02 · EVIDENCE

Agree the evidence plan

Document what will be reviewed, how it will be collected, which access is required, and how sensitive material will be handled.

03 · ANALYZE

Validate material observations

Separate configuration facts from assumptions, account for dependencies and compensating controls, and resolve context with the right owners.

04 · DECIDE

Deliver priorities

Connect evidence to business impact, recommended action, ownership, dependencies, and a practical validation step.

Deliverables

Useful outputs, sized to the engagement.

  • Confirmed scope, assumptions, applicable services, and evidence boundaries
  • Executive summary written for the decision and stakeholders in view
  • Technical findings with evidence references and confidence notes
  • Prioritized action register with owners, dependencies, and validation steps
  • Stakeholder readout and a record of open questions or accepted exceptions
Boundaries

Clear scope protects the quality of the answer.

  • Not a penetration test, statutory audit, legal opinion, or compliance certification
  • No guarantee that every security issue or future attack can be identified
  • Features are reviewed only where licensed, configured, available, and included in scope
  • Production changes and remediation are separately scoped and authorized
  • No credentials, access tokens, or tenant exports are needed for the first conversation
Frequently asked questions

Questions to resolve before the work begins.

Should we choose a Microsoft 365-wide assessment or a specialist assessment?

Choose the Microsoft 365-wide review when the business question spans several services or the main risks are not yet clear. Choose a specialist assessment when a defined product, control family, migration, or decision needs deeper evidence.

Does an assessment include implementation?

No. Assessment conclusions remain separate from implementation. If you want help making selected changes, TenantShield can propose a separately scoped remediation engagement with approvals, safeguards, and validation steps.

Do we need to provide tenant access before discussing scope?

No. The first conversation uses your business trigger, approximate environment size, licensing, priorities, and deadline. Any later evidence or access plan is documented before collection begins.

Is the free security checker a substitute for a professional assessment?

No. The browser checker is an educational, directional tool. It does not provide the agreed scope, analyst validation, business context, evidence record, or stakeholder deliverables of a professional assessment.
