Microsoft Secure Score consulting services

Toronto and Durham Region Microsoft 365 security experts.

We raise your Microsoft Secure Score with the controls that matter, then give you the documentation that vendors, insurers and auditors ask for, as part of our fully managed IT service.

Microsoft Secure Score Consulting Services Security Assessment

Why businesses hire our Secure Score consultants.

Most businesses do not come to us because they want a higher number. They come because someone outside the business is asking for proof, and the answer is not ready.

Pass Vendor Security Screenings

Vendor questionnaires ask specific questions: “Do you enforce MFA?” “Do you prevent unauthorized data sharing?” “Do you manage device access?” Secure Score maps directly to these requirements. We configure the controls, document the implementation and provide evidence that satisfies vendor security teams.

Meet Cyber Insurance Requirements

Insurers increasingly require documented security controls for coverage or competitive rates. MFA enforcement, endpoint management and data loss prevention are Secure Score controls that directly affect your insurance assessment.

We provide configuration reports and security documentation that cyber insurance providers recognize.

IT Risk And Compliance Support

Meet client expectations and industry standards with information security solutions and NIST framework expertise. We set up the controls once, then keep them in place as your team and your tenant change.

Document Your Compliance Posture

NIST framework alignment, ISO 27001 control mapping and PIPEDA data protection requirements: Secure Score addresses these standards when it is properly configured. We implement the controls and maintain the documentation that supports your compliance demonstrations.

Fix What's Actually Broken

Many businesses enable basic Microsoft 365 security but miss critical gaps: unrestricted admin access, unmanaged external sharing, missing device policies and disabled audit logging. We identify and fix the security weaknesses that create real business risk.

What's included in Secure Score consulting.

Every part below is delivered by the same in-house team that runs your Microsoft 365 every day. Nothing is handed to a call centre, and nothing stops after the first report.

IT is not a one-time tweak. As your Microsoft experts, we keep your score and your evidence current:

Partial Microsoft 365 security compared with the TUCU baseline.

Many businesses have the right licences and half the setup. A control that exists but is not enforced does not help your score, and it does not stop an attacker.

saved my digital bacon

“Adam has saved my digital bacon more times than I can count. From deleting it, to being email-bombed by spammers, to fixing email delivery issues and everything in between, Adam is fast at responding, kind, helpful, direct, easy to understand (doesn’t talk above my head, which is VERY easy to do), and makes me feel safe and secure knowing I have him to lean on. I would recommend him to every single business out there, big or small, because you NEED Adam on your side. If you haven’t hired him yet, do it now.”

A Baseline We Stand Behind

In June 2025 we dropped our lighter security tier, because clients on it were compromised. Now every managed client gets Intune, conditional access, EDR with identity threat detection and Entra ID management as standard.

Ready to raise your Microsoft Secure Score?

Expert Secure Score consultants for Toronto, Durham Region and Northumberland businesses.

A vendor sends a security questionnaire, your cyber insurance renewal asks for proof of MFA, or a client wants to see your compliance posture before they sign. Each one asks the same thing: show us how your Microsoft 365 is secured.

We get your Microsoft Secure Score documentation ready for vendor security screenings, cyber insurance applications and compliance audits. Our Secure Score consultants assess your current configuration, implement the priority security controls and provide the documentation vendors and insurers actually require.

Let’s face it, nobody opens a long vendor security questionnaire and feels excited. Most people put it off, guess at a few answers and hope nobody checks. That is human. We take that job off your desk: we set up the controls, keep the evidence current and help you answer each question with facts, not guesses.

Secure Score help is part of our fully managed IT service. Every managed client gets Intune, conditional access, EDR with identity threat detection and Entra ID management as standard, and those controls are where most of your score comes from.

Microsoft Secure Score FAQ.

Most implementations complete in 4-8 weeks from the first assessment to vendor-ready documentation. The timeline depends on your current configuration, your business requirements and your approval processes.

We can move faster for urgent vendor deadlines. After that, ongoing Secure Score management continues as part of your fully managed IT service.

Microsoft 365 Business Premium includes most critical security controls: MFA, conditional access, Intune and basic data loss prevention. E3 adds advanced compliance features. E5 adds threat protection and advanced security analytics.

We assess your specific vendor requirements and recommend the right licensing. Many businesses achieve passing scores with Business Premium when it is properly configured.

We start with your current state, identify gaps and implement what is missing. Many businesses have partial implementations: MFA enabled but not enforced, conditional access policies created but not activated, data loss prevention available but not configured.

We complete the implementation and provide documentation for what you already have plus what we add.

Security controls must protect without blocking legitimate work. We implement in phases, test with pilot groups and adjust policies based on real workflow patterns.

Most teams experience minimal disruption when controls are configured for business operations rather than for the maximum possible score. Where your team is ready, we move sign-in to passkeys and other phishing-resistant methods.

Yes. We review vendor questionnaires, map the requirements to Microsoft 365 capabilities, implement the necessary controls and provide documentation that directly answers vendor questions.

We’ve helped businesses pass SOC 2, ISO 27001 and custom enterprise vendor requirements.

No. Secure Score work is part of our fully managed IT service. A score only stays high if someone keeps the controls in place, reviews new recommendations and updates the documentation, and that is the work we do every day for our managed clients.
