Microsoft 365 Management 

The platform your people depend on, managed properly from the ground up 

What it is

Microsoft 365 is the productivity and communication backbone of most modern businesses.

The challenge is that most organisations are running M365 environments that came out of the box and were never properly configured, hardened, or optimised. Default settings leave significant security gaps. Licenses are over-provisioned or mis-matched. Backup is either absent or assumed to be handled by Microsoft, which it is not. CMTG’s Microsoft 365 management service covers the full lifecycle of the M365 environment: licensing, configuration, security hardening, ongoing management, and cloud-to-cloud backup of everything in it.

What's Included?

Licensing management

Licence procurement, optimisation, and management. Right-sizing licence allocation to match actual usage and ensuring clients are not paying for capacity they do not need

Tenant configuration

Full tenant setup and configuration aligned to security best practice and the organisation's specific requirements. Multi-factor authentication, conditional access policies, and identity management

Security hardening

Microsoft Secure Score review, uplift, and ongoing monitoring. Reducing the attack surface of the M365 environment and closing the gaps that default configuration leaves open

Exchange Online management

Email configuration, spam filtering via CMTG Secure Mail powered by Fortinet, distribution groups, shared mailboxes, and mail flow rules

SharePoint and Teams management

Site architecture, permissions, and governance. Teams channel management and compliance configuration

Cloud-to-cloud backup

Full backup of Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data. Point-in-time restore capability for deleted or corrupted content. Microsoft does not back up your data and CMTG does

Compliance configuration

Retention policies, data loss prevention, eDiscovery, and audit logging configured to support the organisation's data governance and regulatory obligations

Ongoing management

Licence renewals, tenant health monitoring, security alert response, and end-user support for M365 applications

Why CMTG for this service

Most organisations assume their Microsoft 365 environment is secure because Microsoft is a large and trusted company. That assumption is incorrect. Microsoft provides the platform. The security configuration, the backup, and the governance are the responsibility of the organisation and its IT partner. CMTG manages M365 environments to the standard a Gold Datacenter Partner is expected to deliver.
