Security in practice
Good security isn't a single product. It's many layers working together – and someone who is actually watching. Here's how we protect our customers' identities, devices, and data.
Most attacks don't start with sophisticated hacking. They start with a stolen password, an unprotected device, or an email that looks completely legitimate. That's why protection has to be in place where attacks actually happen.
Six layers that protect your business
Each layer stops something the others might miss. Together, they make it hard for an attacker to get in – and easy for us to detect the attempt.
Identity
Phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA) and Conditional Access, so a stolen password alone isn't enough.
Devices
We manage PCs and mobile devices with Intune, keep them up to date, and protect them with Microsoft Defender.
Email and collaboration
Protection against phishing and malicious attachments in email, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive.
Data
We label and protect sensitive documents so they don't end up in the wrong hands.
Monitoring
Defender XDR brings together signals from every layer, so anomalies are detected and handled quickly.
Readiness
Tested backups, and a plan for what happens if something still goes wrong.
Five measures that make the biggest impact
You don't have to do everything at once. These measures stop a large share of the attacks we see against small and midsize businesses.
- Phishing-resistant MFA for all users
- Fewer administrators – and admin access only when needed
- All devices managed and up to date
- Backups that are tested and stored separately
- Employees who can recognize scam attempts
How we handle a security incident
- Step 1
Detect
We pick up alerts from Defender and assess what happened.
- Step 2
Contain
We isolate affected accounts and devices so the attack doesn't spread.
- Step 3
Recover
We clean up, restore data, and get operations back up and running.
- Step 4
Learn
We find the root cause and close the gap so the same thing doesn't happen again.
