Microsoft 365 for accounting firms. Run, hardened, backed up.
Your tenant, fully managed. Hardened to IRS Pub 4557 and FTC Safeguards. Daily off-tenant backups. One team accountable for the whole thing.
Microsoft hosts the apps. They don't run your tenant.
Out of the box, Microsoft 365 is a productivity suite. Three jobs every accounting firm inherits and nobody owns.
Default settings aren't safe.
Tenant ships with MFA optional, legacy auth on, no conditional access, audit retention short. FTC and IRS expect more.
Microsoft doesn't backup.
Shared-responsibility model: Microsoft keeps the service running. Recovering deleted email or ransomware-encrypted SharePoint is on you.
No one's running your tenant.
Offboarding leaks licenses and access. Mailbox rules go un-audited. New users get over-permissioned because nobody owns it.
Three pillars, one tenant.
Run it. Lock it down. Back it up. Three jobs your firm doesn't have a person for.
User lifecycle
Onboarding, offboarding, license cleanup, mailbox rules audit. One owner accountable.
M365 helpdesk
Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint tickets handled by named techs. No “open a case with Microsoft.”
MFA + access rules
Conditional access policies, legacy auth blocked, device and location enforcement.
Email + DLP defense
Anti-phishing, safe links, sharing limits, and data loss policies for client data.
Daily tenant backups
Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams backed to a separate vault. Restore past Microsoft's window.
Audit logs + alerts
Extended log retention. Alerts on suspicious sign-ins, mailbox rule changes, and mass downloads.
