Microsoft 365 and Azure are not separate products. They share identity, security, and compliance infrastructure. We manage them as an integrated platform. Your security policies, identity controls, and compliance configurations then work together rather than in silos. Click any platform card for a detailed breakdown.
Every capability below is part of a managed cloud engagement. That covers initial configuration and migration through ongoing administration, security hardening, and cost control. We do not hand you a tenant and walk away. We stay involved every day. Click any capability card for detailed information on how we deliver it.
Microsoft 365 management is a continuous operations responsibility. Licensing governance, security configuration drift, identity hygiene, backup, and cost control all require ongoing attention. Below is a reference for what our managed cloud service covers across the Microsoft ecosystem.
Day-to-day Microsoft 365 tenant management including license assignment, user provisioning, group policy, Exchange Online configuration, SharePoint and OneDrive governance, and Teams policy administration. We handle the administrative overhead. Your team can then focus on business operations rather than tenant management.
Identity is the primary attack surface in a Microsoft environment. Our Entra ID management covers conditional access policies, MFA enforcement, privileged identity management (PIM), access reviews, and sign-in risk policies. We configure identity protection to block compromised credentials before they can be used.
We deploy and manage Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Office 365, and Defender for Identity across your Microsoft 365 environment. Alert triage, incident investigation, and response are handled by our SOC. Security Secure Score improvements are tracked and reported quarterly.
For organizations subject to HIPAA, CMMC, FTC Safeguards, or other compliance frameworks, Microsoft Purview provides data classification, information protection labels, retention policies, eDiscovery, and audit logging. We configure Purview to align with your applicable regulatory requirements. It then produces compliance evidence on demand.
Microsoft 365 does not include a complete backup solution. Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams data requires a third-party backup platform for point-in-time recovery. We manage cloud-to-cloud backup with configurable retention periods, daily backup jobs, and tested restoration procedures.
For organizations running workloads in Azure, we manage virtual machines, storage accounts, networking, and security configurations. Cost management and Reserved Instance planning prevent unexpected billing. We provide monthly Azure spend reports and rightsizing recommendations to control cloud costs.
Cloud management raises a lot of practical questions. We answer them directly. Reach out if yours is not covered here and we will get back to you the same business day.
Most cloud problems are not platform problems. They are configuration problems, identity problems, and lifecycle problems. Cyber One Solutions manages Microsoft 365 and Azure as an operational practice rather than a series of one-off tickets. Licensing, identity, security baselines, and data protection then stay aligned with how your business actually works.
Every cloud decision starts with identity. We baseline Entra ID with conditional access, enforce phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication, and restrict legacy protocols that attackers still use to bypass MFA. Group membership, role assignment, and guest access are reviewed on a recurring schedule. When employees change roles or leave, access changes with them. It does not change weeks later when someone notices.
Cloud breaches rarely begin with a zero day. They begin with a shared mailbox nobody disabled, an unrestricted app registration, or a OneDrive folder shared with the entire internet. We apply security defaults aligned to the Microsoft Secure Score framework and monitor for risky sign-ins and impossible travel. We also back up Microsoft 365 mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data to immutable storage separate from your tenant.
For clients with Azure workloads, we manage resource groups, cost alerts, and backup policies alongside the identity and security controls in Microsoft 365. Reserved instances, tagging standards, and retention policies are reviewed each quarter. Spend then tracks utilization rather than drift.
For organizations under HIPAA, PCI DSS, CMMC, SOC 2, or the FTC Safeguards Rule, the Microsoft cloud already contains most of the technical controls an auditor expects to see. The gap is usually configuration and evidence, not capability. We use Microsoft Purview for data classification, retention, and audit logging, and Compliance Manager to map your tenant configuration to the framework that applies to you.
These controls are configured and documented as part of ongoing management. The evidence an assessment requires is therefore a running output, not a scramble the week before an audit. Sensitivity labels, DLP policy enforcement, and unified audit logs produce records on demand instead of after the fact.
Cloud costs drift upward when nobody is accountable for them. Virtual machines set up for a short project keep running. Storage builds up in premium tiers. Licenses stay assigned to people who have left. Left unmanaged, this is where a large share of cloud spend quietly disappears.
We review Azure resource use and Microsoft 365 license assignment on a recurring schedule. We flag underused resources for downsizing or shutdown and reconcile licenses against your current headcount. Reserved instance and savings plan analysis is applied where predictable workloads justify it. You commit only where it lowers the bill.
Do you sell Microsoft 365 licenses directly?
Yes. We provision and manage Microsoft 365 licensing through an authorized CSP relationship. That means a single invoice, monthly true-ups when you add or remove users, and direct Microsoft escalation paths when tickets require vendor involvement.
What happens to our existing tenant during onboarding?
Your tenant stays yours. We do not migrate data during onboarding. We take ownership of administration, document the current configuration, and present a prioritized remediation plan. You approve what changes and when.
Can you manage a hybrid environment with on-premises servers and Active Directory?
Yes. Many organizations run a mix of on-premises infrastructure and cloud services rather than moving everything at once. We configure and monitor Entra ID Connect to synchronize on-premises Active Directory identities to Entra ID. We enable hybrid Azure AD join so domain-joined devices can be governed by conditional access and Intune. We also connect on-premises networks to Azure through site-to-site VPN or ExpressRoute. The integration points between environments are the highest-risk areas in a hybrid setup, so we govern them with the same discipline as the cloud tenant itself.
