SOS SecureStart

Immediate Microsoft 365 Security Stabilization

Your Microsoft 365 environment has gaps. We fix them fast.

Built for organizations that have completed a Microsoft 365 Security Audit and need immediate, structured intervention to eliminate critical risk.

Most organizations we assess have 3–5 critical security gaps that can be exploited immediately. SOS SecureStart is designed to eliminate those risks within days.

Begin With a Microsoft 365 Security Audit

SOS SecureStart is delivered after a structured Microsoft 365 Security Audit. The audit identifies your highest-risk gaps, misconfigurations, and areas of exposure — and defines exactly what needs to be remediated before we begin.

No assumptions. No guesswork. The audit creates the roadmap. SOS SecureStart executes it.

The audit is the first step. SOS SecureStart is the intervention that follows.

Microsoft 365 Security Audit

Microsoft 365 Is Critical Infrastructure. Treat It That Way.

Microsoft 365 is the operational backbone of your organization — email, files, collaboration, identity. When it is misconfigured, it is not just inconvenient. It is an active liability.

Microsoft's default configuration settings are designed for broad compatibility, not security. Out of the box, most tenants ship with legacy authentication enabled, no enforcement of multi-factor authentication, unrestricted admin access, and no email authentication policies in place.

The result: most organizations running Microsoft 365 are exposed to preventable, well-documented attack vectors — and have no visibility into whether those attacks are already in progress.

SOS SecureStart closes those gaps. Quickly and correctly.

Who this is designed for: Organizations actively using Microsoft 365 that recognize the need to secure it properly — and are ready to act on that.

SOS SecureStart is not intended for fully unmanaged environments requiring a complete tenant rebuild. If that describes your situation, we can advise on the appropriate scope.

Why This Matters Now

The most common and damaging Microsoft 365 risks are not exotic. They are predictable, well-understood, and consistently exploited — because they are left unaddressed.

Account Takeover

Without enforced MFA and disabled legacy authentication, compromised credentials give attackers full account access. No barrier. No alert.

Domain Spoofing

Without DMARC, SPF, and DKIM properly configured, anyone can send email that appears to come from your domain — enabling phishing attacks against your clients and staff.

Over-Permissioned Admins

Global Administrator assigned by default to routine users is a systemic risk. Compromising one account under these conditions can mean compromising everything.

No Visibility

Without unified audit logging and alert policies, suspicious activity — failed logins, unusual data access, forwarding rules — goes unnoticed until significant damage is done.

What You Achieve

SOS SecureStart is scoped around outcomes, not activity. At engagement close, your organization will have:

  • All users enrolled in and enforced for multi-factor authentication
  • Legacy authentication protocols fully disabled across the tenant
  • Administrative access reviewed, reduced, and role-appropriately assigned
  • Email domain protected with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC in place
  • Unified Audit Log enabled with baseline alert policies configured
  • Self-Service Password Reset configured to reduce helpdesk exposure
  • Stale and unmanaged accounts identified and addressed
  • A documented summary of all changes made and recommended next steps
At the end of this engagement, your Microsoft 365 environment moves from exposed and inconsistent to a controlled, defensible security baseline.

What's Included

The engagement is structured across five security domains. Every item below is implemented, validated, and documented.

Identity & Access Security
MFA enforcement for all users via Microsoft Authenticator
Legacy authentication protocols disabled at the tenant level
Global Administrator role review and reduction
Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) configuration and enablement
Conditional Access — Baseline Policies
Require MFA for all users policy (enforced, not report-only)
Block legacy authentication policy
Basic access restriction policies appropriate to tenant size
Email Security
SPF record validation and correction
DKIM signing enablement for all sending domains
DMARC policy deployment (p=none monitoring or p=quarantine where appropriate)
Visibility & Logging
Unified Audit Log enabled and verified
Baseline alert policies configured in Microsoft Purview
Light Governance Cleanup
Stale and inactive account review (basic remediation)
External sharing settings review and tightening

What This Is Not

SOS SecureStart is a security stabilization engagement. It establishes a defensible, well-configured baseline. It is not a full security architecture or platform transformation.

Outside This Engagement

  • Full Conditional Access architecture design and implementation
  • Zero Trust framework deployment
  • Microsoft Intune and device compliance policy deployment
  • SharePoint or Teams governance design and remediation
  • Microsoft Defender for Business or Endpoint configuration
  • Azure AD Identity Protection and risk-based Conditional Access
  • Custom security reporting or SIEM integration

A secure baseline, not a full transformation. Organizations requiring comprehensive security architecture should inquire about the full Microsoft 365 Security Implementation engagement.

Engagement Investment

Most organizations fall within this range depending on tenant size and complexity. Final scope is confirmed after audit review — before any work begins.

Investment Range
$1,500 – $3,000
Fixed-scope engagement. No hourly billing. No surprises.
Typical Timeline
1 – 3 Business Days
From scope confirmation to documented completion. Most engagements are resolved within this window.

How It Works

1
Audit Review

We begin from the findings of your completed Microsoft 365 Security Audit. No duplicate assessment work. No re-scoping from scratch.

2
Scope Confirmation

We confirm the engagement scope, investment, and timeline in writing. You know exactly what will be implemented before work begins.

3
Implementation

We access the tenant with delegated administrator credentials and execute all items within the defined scope. Changes are staged and tested where applicable.

4
Summary & Recommendations

At close, you receive a written summary of all changes made, current security posture, and a prioritized list of recommended next steps.

The Path Forward

SOS SecureStart establishes a defensible baseline. For most organizations, it is the right first step — not the final destination.

The majority of clients who complete SOS SecureStart continue into a full Microsoft 365 Security Implementation engagement. That broader scope addresses advanced Conditional Access architecture, device compliance, Microsoft Defender deployment, and the governance and identity hardening required for a mature security posture.

There is no obligation to proceed. The baseline we establish is immediately valuable on its own. When you are ready to go further, we are structured to take you there.
