CIS Benchmark Audit for Microsoft 365 Licenses

Challenge:
A large educational institution needed to secure its Microsoft 365 environment to protect sensitive student and staff data while ensuring compliance with industry standards. The institution had concerns about the security of its cloud-based services and wanted to ensure that its Microsoft 365 configurations met the highest security standards.

Solution:
eSec Forte® conducted a CIS Benchmark Audit for Microsoft 365 licenses, assessing the institution’s environment against the latest CIS Benchmark guidelines. Our team identified several areas where the institution’s configurations fell short of best practices, including insecure email settings, insufficient access controls, and weak password policies. We provided a detailed report with recommendations to address these gaps.

Outcome:
The educational institution implemented our recommendations, resulting in a more secure Microsoft 365 environment. The institution improved its protection of sensitive data, reduced the risk of unauthorized access, and achieved compliance with data protection regulations. The enhanced security posture also provided peace of mind to students, staff, and stakeholders, knowing that their data was secure.
