Microsoft Security & Cloud Protection
Secure the Microsoft environment your business already depends on.
Microsoft provides the controls. Secure configuration still matters.
VALO helps small and midsize organizations assess, harden, and govern Microsoft 365 security across identity, email, endpoints, devices, collaboration, and sensitive data. We work with your existing MSP or internal IT team rather than requiring you to replace them.
The security outcome depends on how your Microsoft environment is licensed, configured, enforced, monitored, and governed. VALO reviews that operating layer, identifies material gaps, and turns the findings into a prioritized remediation roadmap.
A focused review of the controls protecting your Microsoft 365 environment. We establish what is enabled, what is missing, what is inconsistently enforced, and what should be prioritized first.
The assessment stands on its own. Your internal IT team, existing MSP, VALO, or another qualified provider can implement the recommendations.
What we assess
MFA coverage, Conditional Access, administrative roles, privileged accounts, legacy authentication, guest access, emergency access, and identity controls appropriate to your licensing.
Exchange Online protection, anti-phishing controls, Defender for Office 365 where licensed, external sharing, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive security settings.
Microsoft Defender capabilities, Intune enrollment, device compliance, encryption, endpoint policy, and device-security gaps that can weaken identity and data controls.
Sensitive-data handling, sharing controls, Microsoft Purview capabilities, information protection, and data-loss-prevention opportunities appropriate to your licensing and obligations.
Microsoft Secure Score, alerts, incident ownership, logging, review cadence, remediation accountability, and the handoff between IT, your MSP, and business leadership.
How Microsoft 365 controls support broader risk, policy, cyber-insurance, HIPAA, GLBA, SOC 2, or contractual security requirements.
What you receive
- Executive security summary written for business leadership
- Technical findings register with severity and supporting evidence
- Prioritized remediation roadmap
- Licensing and capability gaps that affect recommended controls
- Clear separation between quick wins, planned remediation, and longer-term improvements
- Live findings readout and next-step discussion
Turn findings into implemented controls.
Assessment and remediation are scoped separately so you have a clear record of what was found, what was approved, and what changed.
MFA, Conditional Access, administrator separation, authentication cleanup, guest-access controls, and privileged-access improvements.
Defender onboarding and configuration, endpoint-security policy, vulnerability remediation, and device-protection improvements.
Enrollment, compliance policy, configuration profiles, encryption requirements, and device-access controls.
Phishing protection, mail-security policy, external sharing, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive security improvements.
Information protection, DLP, labeling, and data-governance controls where licensing and requirements support them.
Periodic posture review, remediation tracking, risk reporting, access review, and governance support without positioning VALO as a 24×7 SOC.
Built to work with your existing IT provider.
VALO is a security-first consultancy, not a general help desk. If you already have an MSP or internal IT team, they can continue managing daily operations while VALO focuses on security assessment, architecture, hardening, governance, and complex remediation.
Regulated environments need more than product configuration.
For healthcare, financial services, and professional-services organizations, Microsoft 365 controls are part of a larger security program. VALO connects technical configuration to risk analysis, policies, control ownership, evidence, remediation, and executive accountability.
Technology alone does not establish regulatory compliance. VALO does not promise that deploying a Microsoft product makes an organization compliant.
Licensing matters: Microsoft capabilities vary by subscription. VALO verifies the customer's licensing before recommending or scoping controls.
