1. Identity

Microsoft 365 Security for SMBs
Microsoft 365 security without unnecessary enterprise complexity.
Small and mid-sized businesses need practical security controls that protect users and data while keeping day-to-day work straightforward.
What should an SMB secure first?
For most Microsoft 365 environments, security improvements should begin with the controls that protect identity and access, then expand into devices, data, collaboration and monitoring.
2. Conditional Access
Control access based on identity, device, application and risk.
3. Devices
Manage business devices with Intune and use endpoint protection where appropriate.
4. Data
Understand sensitive information and apply sensible sharing, DLP and classification controls.
5. SharePoint
Review permissions, guests, external sharing and information architecture.
6. Threat protection
Check Defender coverage, alerts and visibility across the Microsoft environment.
