Microsoft 365 & Azure
Make Microsoft 365 defensible — without slowing your team down.
Your business runs in Microsoft 365 and Azure: identities in Entra ID, email in Exchange Online, files in SharePoint and OneDrive, collaboration in Teams. Cyberuptive hardens and runs the controls that protect them — Conditional Access and MFA, Defender XDR, Sentinel SIEM, tenant baselines, and GCC High when CMMC requires it — so account takeover, phishing, and misconfiguration risk go down while your people keep working.
- GCC High migration & SSP documentation
- Conditional Access + Entra ID hardening
- Defender XDR (Endpoint / Identity / Office / Cloud)
- Sentinel SIEM integrated with our 24/7 SOC
Coverage
Identity, endpoint, data, cloud — under one operating model.
Microsoft's security stack is powerful and unforgiving. The licenses you bought won't protect you on their own — someone has to configure, tune, and run them. That's us.
-
Entra ID hardening
Conditional Access, MFA, PIM, role review, break-glass hygiene.
-
Defender for Endpoint
Onboarding, baselines, attack-surface reduction rules, EDR tuning.
-
Defender for Identity
On-prem AD signal into Defender, identity threat detection.
-
Defender for Office 365
Safe Attachments, Safe Links, anti-phishing tuning, quarantine review.
-
Defender for Cloud
Azure CSPM, regulatory dashboards, JIT VM access, secure-score uplift.
-
Microsoft Sentinel
Connector deployment, analytics rules, KQL hunts, playbook automation.
-
Purview / DLP
Data classification, sensitivity labels, DLP policies, eDiscovery prep.
-
GCC High migration
Tenant procurement, mailbox + SharePoint migration, SSP documentation.
GCC High for CMMC
If you handle CUI, your tenant probably has to move.
Most defense subcontractors discover the GCC High requirement late — usually during their first C3PAO scoping conversation. The migration is bigger than people expect: licensing, mailbox cutover, SharePoint, Teams, Defender, Sentinel, and the SSP language to defend the choice.
We've done this for Pacific contractors — including hand-offs to GCC High from commercial M365 with zero data loss and a documented baseline you can point to in your assessment.
See CMMC servicesGCC High project includes
- • Tenant procurement & licensing strategy
- • Identity migration (Entra ID + AD Connect)
- • Mailbox, SharePoint, OneDrive cutover
- • Teams + Defender + Purview rebaseline
- • Conditional Access policy port + harden
- • SSP language & evidence package
- • Post-cutover SOC integration
-
Do you handle GCC High migrations for CMMC?
Yes. CMMC 2.0 Level 2 environments handling CUI almost always require Microsoft 365 GCC High (or equivalent) for FedRAMP Moderate baseline plus DFARS 252.204-7012 alignment. We scope, license, migrate, and document the tenant — including SSP language your assessor will accept.
-
What does "M365 hardening" actually mean?
Conditional Access policies (MFA, device compliance, location restrictions), legacy auth disabled, Entra ID role review (Privileged Identity Management), Defender baselines, DLP policies aligned to data classification, audit log retention, eDiscovery readiness, and break-glass account hygiene. We deliver the configuration plus the documentation.
-
Do you operate Microsoft Sentinel?
Yes — Sentinel is our default SIEM for Microsoft-heavy environments. We deploy data connectors, build the workspace, tune analytics rules, manage automation playbooks (Logic Apps), and integrate Sentinel telemetry with our SOC for 24/7 triage.
-
How do you handle Defender XDR?
Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Identity, Defender for Office 365, and Defender for Cloud are managed as one unified XDR plane. Alert tuning, automated investigation review, and incident response playbooks are part of the engagement. We operate the same way whether you are E3 or E5.
-
Can you co-manage with our internal IT or MSP?
Yes — that is the most common model. Your IT team or MSP keeps the user-facing day-to-day; we own the security posture (Conditional Access, Defender, Sentinel, identity governance). Roles and responsibilities are documented in a RACI before kickoff.
-
What about Azure workloads?
Azure security covers landing zones, Defender for Cloud across subscriptions, Azure Policy guardrails, Key Vault and managed identity hygiene, network segmentation, and Privileged Identity Management. We map controls to CMMC, HIPAA, or ISO 27001 depending on what you carry.
