Introducing M365 Security Doctor: A Faster Route to a Safer Microsoft 365   

What is M365 Security Doctor? 

Think of M365 Security Doctor as a full health check for your Microsoft 365 tenant. It combines automated analysis with strategic insight from Microsoft‑certified specialists to uncover hidden risks, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement. 

Over a short, low‑impact engagement, we review hundreds of data points across identity, devices, data, and licensing. The goal? To give you a clear picture of your security posture, highlight quick wins, and provide a roadmap for long‑term improvements. 

Delivered remotely by Node4’s experts, this service is designed to be high‑impact without tying up your internal resources. Whether your priority is reducing risk, aligning with compliance benchmarks, or cutting unnecessary license costs, M365 Security Doctor provides the clarity and confidence you need to move forward. 

What do we look at?

M365 Security Doctor focuses on the areas that matter most for security, compliance, and cost control: 

Identity 

We review how identities are managed across your tenant, covering user, privileged, and workload accounts. This helps uncover risky configurations and governance gaps that attackers love to exploit. 

Devices 

Are company devices compliant? Are app protection and enrolment restrictions in place? We check these settings to reduce endpoint risk and keep data safe. 

Data 

Sensitive information can easily slip through the cracks. We assess your data protection technologies and highlight where improvements are needed to prevent leaks or compliance issues. 

CIS Alignment 

Your Microsoft 365 setup is compared against the CIS Microsoft 365 Foundations Benchmark, giving you a clear view of how you stack up against industry best practice. 

Licensing 

Many organisations pay for features they never use. We identify under‑utilised tools, “zombie” accounts, and cost‑saving opportunities, so you can do more with what you already own. 

How it works 

M365 Security Doctor is designed to deliver maximum insight with minimal disruption. Here’s the simple three‑step process: 

1. Discovery Call:
We start with a short consultation to understand your goals, current Microsoft 365 usage, and security priorities. 

2. Automated Tenant Analysis (1–2 weeks):
Our toolset runs quietly in the background, collecting data across identity, devices, data, and licensing, without impacting day‑to‑day operations. 

3. Analysis & Reporting:
We review the findings against Microsoft best practices and the CIS Microsoft 365 Foundations Benchmark. The result? A tailored report with quick wins, cost‑saving opportunities, and a roadmap for long‑term improvements. 

What you’ll get 

At the end of the engagement, you’ll receive a tailored report packed with insights and practical next steps. Here’s what’s included: 

• Actionable Recommendations: Clear, prioritised actions that can be implemented immediately, either by your internal team or with Node4’s support. 
• Quick Wins & Strategic Roadmap: Immediate fixes to reduce risk, plus a longer‑term plan to strengthen security and compliance. 
• Cost Optimisation Opportunities: Visibility of unused features, “zombie” accounts, and overlapping tools, helping you cut unnecessary spend. 
• Benchmark Alignment: A view of how your Microsoft 365 environment compares to the CIS Microsoft 365 Foundations Benchmark and industry best practice. 

Who is it for? 

M365 Security Doctor is ideal for organisations that: 

• Aren’t sure how secure their Microsoft 365 environment really is 
• Have fragmented identity, device, or data protection strategies 
• Need visibility into license usage and cost 
• Want to align with industry benchmarks 
• Are preparing for audits or regulatory reviews 

Why now? 

Cyber threats aren’t slowing down, and neither are compliance demands. At the same time, most organisations are under pressure to do more with less. That’s why now is the perfect time to take control of your Microsoft 365 environment. 

Many businesses assume their tenant is secure because they’ve “turned on the basics.” In reality, misconfigurations, unused security features, and dormant accounts often go unnoticed, until an audit or breach exposes the gaps. M365 Security Doctor gives you the clarity you need before those risks become costly problems. 

By acting now, you can reduce risk, optimise spend, and align with best practice, all without disrupting day‑to‑day operations.
