Microsoft 365

Migration, licensing, security settings and day to day administration for Microsoft 365, set up so it is actually protected.

Almost every business now runs email, files and meetings through Microsoft 365. Far fewer have it configured beyond the defaults, and the defaults leave a lot open.

The common findings are the same across companies: no multifactor authentication on the accounts that matter, mailbox forwarding rules nobody set up deliberately, licenses being paid for on behalf of people who left, and no retention on files that would be needed after an accidental deletion.

Sound familiar?

  • Email lands in junk, or does not arrive at all
  • Accounts have been compromised or nearly compromised
  • Licenses are being paid for staff who have left
  • SharePoint and Teams files have grown into a mess nobody can navigate
  • A migration from an older mail system keeps being postponed
  • Nobody is sure what happens to a mailbox when someone resigns

How Alienstech handles it

Work usually falls into three parts.

Getting there. Migration from an existing mail system, on premises Exchange or another provider, planned so mail keeps flowing during the move and nothing is lost. DNS records for mail delivery and authentication are set correctly rather than approximately.

Making it safe. Multifactor authentication on every account, conditional access where it is warranted, admin accounts separated from daily accounts, mailbox auditing turned on, external forwarding restricted, and retention set so deleted files can come back.

Keeping it tidy. Licenses reviewed against people who actually work there, a documented process for staff joining and leaving, a sensible file structure in SharePoint and Teams, and shared mailboxes used where a full license is not needed.

What you get

  • Mail that arrives and passes authentication checks
  • Accounts protected against password reuse and phishing
  • Only paying for licenses in use
  • A documented process when staff join or leave
  • Deleted files recoverable within a known window

A tenant review takes about an hour and usually pays for itself in unused licenses.
