CyberSecure 365

Microsoft 365 Security for Maryland Organizations

Your Microsoft 365 environment should be doing more to protect your business.

Most companies rely on Microsoft 365 every day, but few know whether it is configured well enough to stop account takeover, phishing, data loss, or unauthorized access.

NexSecure reviews the tenant, finds the weak points, makes the approved changes, tests the result, and documents the work. You are not left with a report and a list of problems to solve on your own.

NexSecure does not stop after identifying security gaps. We implement the approved fixes, test the controls, document the results, and help maintain the environment.

Why it matters

What you actually get

Fewer security gaps

Close weaknesses in identity, email, endpoints, data protection, and administration.

Less vendor confusion

Match Microsoft licensing and security features to what your organization actually needs.

Proof for leadership and insurers

Receive documented evidence of the controls reviewed, implemented, tested, and still pending.

We do this often for small businesses, nonprofits, law firms, medical and dental offices, accounting and tax firms, and government contractors.

Key Outcomes

What NexSecure protects in Microsoft 365

Protect identities

Strengthen MFA, Conditional Access, administrative access, and account recovery.

Protect email

Improve phishing protection, impersonation controls, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and mail-flow security.

Protect devices

Configure Intune, Defender, compliance policies, endpoint protection, and secure access.

Protect sensitive data

Apply Purview controls, data classification, retention, and sharing protections where needed.

Prove the work

Receive clear documentation showing what was reviewed, what changed, what remains open, and what should happen next.

How It Works

From security review to working controls

This is the difference. We do not stop at findings. We take the work all the way to tested, documented controls.

1

Assess

We review identities, devices, email, licensing, data, and administrative access.

2

Design

We define the right Microsoft security controls for your risks, budget, and users.

3

Implement

We configure the approved protections and resolve technical dependencies.

4

Validate

We test access, policies, alerts, devices, and user impact.

5

Support

We help maintain the environment as users, devices, threats, and licensing change.

The Difference

NexSecure is not a license-only reseller

Licensing is one part of a security service, not the product. Here is how the hands-on approach compares.

Local Support

Local Microsoft 365 support in Bowie and Maryland

CyberSecure 365 pairs well with CyberSecure VulnTrack for ongoing vulnerability management and CyberSecure vCISO for senior security leadership on a retainer.

Questions

Microsoft 365 security, answered plainly

Do we need this if we already have an IT company?

Probably. IT companies keep Microsoft 365 running, and that is a different job from securing it. From my experience, most tenants managed by an IT generalist still have weak MFA coverage, extra admins, and risky defaults nobody was asked to fix.

Will this disrupt our email or lock people out?

No. Every change is reviewed with you before it is applied, and changes are recorded in the change log so anything can be traced and reversed. The goal is fewer surprises, not more.

What proof do we get at the end?

A plain-English change log and an evidence pack documenting what was reviewed, what was fixed, and what was decided. That is the package insurers and customer security reviews want to see.

How long does it take?

Protect runs 5 to 7 business days, Defend 10 to 15, and Fortify 15 to 20. Exact timelines are confirmed before work starts.

Does Microsoft 365 Business Premium include security tools?

Yes. Business Premium includes Microsoft Entra ID Plan 1, Conditional Access, Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Defender for Business, and Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 1, plus select Microsoft Purview features. The tools are included. The value is in setting them up right.

What is the difference between Business Standard and Business Premium?

Standard gives you the Office apps, email, and Teams. Premium adds the security and device layer: Entra ID Plan 1, Conditional Access, Intune, Defender for Business, and Defender for Office 365 Plan 1.

Does Business Premium include Microsoft Intune and Entra ID P1?

Yes to both. Business Premium includes Intune Plan 1 for device management and Entra ID Plan 1 for Conditional Access and stronger identity controls. Entra ID P2 and the Defender P2 tiers are separate add-ons.

What does Microsoft Defender for Business protect?

It protects your endpoints, meaning laptops, desktops, and supported phones, with next-generation antivirus, attack surface reduction, and endpoint detection and response built for smaller teams.

Can this help us meet cyber insurance requirements?

Yes. We map your Microsoft 365 setup to the controls insurers ask about, close the gaps, and document what is in place. We help you meet the requirements. No one can promise an insurer will approve a policy.

Do you serve organizations outside Bowie?

Yes. We are based in Bowie and work across Prince George’s County, the Washington, DC metro, and the rest of Maryland. Because the work is done inside your tenant, we can help teams anywhere in the region.

Scope, Stated Plainly

Scope, stated plainly

  • Final scope, timeline, users, systems, domains, vendors, meetings, and deliverables are confirmed before the statement of work is sent.
  • Tool licensing, taxes, travel, remediation labor beyond scope, legal review, engineering work, and pass-through vendor costs are excluded unless written into the SOW.
  • No service guarantees breach prevention, insurer approval, audit success, premium reduction, or a customer contract win.
  • This is a configuration and hardening service. It is not invasive penetration testing or exploitation.
