MICROSOFT 365 SECURITY
Out-of-the-box Microsoft 365 is not secure. GCIT hardens every tenant with Conditional Access, MFA enforcement, email protection, and endpoint security, using 1,300+ custom automation scripts.

Microsoft gives you powerful tools, but they are not configured securely out of the box. Most businesses are running M365 with critical security gaps.
Control who can access your data, from where, and on which devices. Block risky sign-ins automatically based on location, device compliance, and risk level.
Multi-factor authentication across all users with phishing-resistant methods. We configure MFA properly: not just enabled, but enforced with the right Conditional Access policies.
Defender for Office 365, anti-phishing policies, safe links, safe attachments, and DMARC/SPF/DKIM configuration to prevent domain impersonation.
Defender for Endpoint deployed and configured with attack surface reduction rules, automated investigation, and real-time threat detection across all managed devices.
Entra ID Protection monitoring for risky users, impossible travel, and credential breaches. Automated responses to detected threats including forced password resets.
We track and improve your Microsoft Secure Score. Our clients' average Secure Score is about 1.8x the Microsoft average for organisations with 101 to 1,000 seats (October 2026), because our automation enforces best practices consistently.
We do not configure security manually. Our PowerShell automation ensures every tenant gets the same enterprise-grade baseline.
GCIT's security automation library includes purpose-built scripts for every aspect of M365 hardening:
Email and identity-based attacks are the most common and most expensive breach vectors. Here's what the data tells us.
Phishing and business email compromise remain the costliest attack vectors globally, with average breach costs exceeding $4.6M USD. For Australian businesses relying on Microsoft 365, securing email and identity is the highest-impact investment.
Multi-factor authentication alone blocks 99% of credential-based attacks. Combined with Conditional Access and DMARC, these controls form a defence-in-depth approach that dramatically reduces your attack surface.
We run a comprehensive security audit: Secure Score, Conditional Access policies, MFA status, sharing settings, admin roles, and mail flow rules.
Our automation deploys security policies based on Microsoft best practices and our experience hardening hundreds of tenants. Every setting is deliberate.
Ongoing automated monitoring of sign-in anomalies, policy drift, and new threats. Our scripts catch configuration drift before it becomes a risk.
Monthly security reports showing Secure Score trends, blocked threats, CA policy effectiveness, and actionable recommendations.
We will audit your Microsoft 365 tenant and show you exactly where the security gaps are. No cost, no obligation, just a clear picture of your current risk.
