Microsoft 365 Security

Microsoft 365 Security

Microsoft 365 holds your email, files and logins, and it’s where most attacks start. Microsoft’s built-in protection is a good foundation, but a convincing scam email, a stolen password or a file shared with the wrong person can still get through. Every Bridge IT security level adds the layers Microsoft 365 needs, with a 24/7 security operations team watching it around the clock.

  1. Advanced email security (Check Point): scans every email inside Microsoft 365 and stops phishing, fake invoices, harmful links, malware and ransomware before anyone can click. It also protects OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams.

  2. Stolen login protection: a hacked account, such as a sign-in from overseas, is spotted and rapidly locked before damage is done. The security team can suspend the account, end its sessions and reset its password and multi-factor sign-in.

  3. Dark web alerts: we’re warned if a staff password turns up on the dark web after a data breach, so it can be changed before it’s used.

  4. Shared file monitoring: OneDrive and SharePoint files shared publicly or outside your business are flagged, so sensitive information doesn’t leak.

  5. Email encryption and data-loss protection (B-Secure Plus): send sensitive information safely, and stop confidential data such as credit card, Medicare, passport and driver’s licence numbers leaving your business by mistake.

  6. Microsoft 365 backup: a separate copy of your email, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams that we can restore if something is deleted, lost or encrypted. See Microsoft 365 Data Backup.

Microsoft 365 Security Settings, Managed

Microsoft changes its security settings regularly, so a Microsoft 365 account set up once and left quickly falls behind. For $50 a month per business, we manage yours continuously with a dedicated tool: keeping multi-factor sign-in and your other security settings switched on, locking your account down, and switching on new protections as Microsoft releases them.

Microsoft rates every setup with a Secure Score. We aim to lift yours and keep it there. The maximum score you can reach depends on your Microsoft 365 licence; Business Premium unlocks the protections that carry the most points, including Conditional Access to control who can sign in, from where and on which devices.
