Can email be trusted, and is sensitive information protected where people actually work?
Cut spoofing, phishing, oversharing, and security claims nobody has tested.
Email & Data Protection
The domain can be spoofed because mail authentication was never enforced. Defender licensing is paid for and half-deployed. Sensitive files are shared wider than anyone intended, and when a questionnaire asks whether the controls work, the honest answer is that nobody has checked.
What gets delivered
The protections the business already licenses are deployed, enforced and tested: mail authentication aligned and staged to enforcement, Defender policies configured and verified, sharing and data-loss controls put in place where agreed, and the evidence produced from the live tenant.
What made you look today?
Common reasons this becomes urgent
The domain can be spoofed, or a customer bounced mail over authentication
Every legitimate sender is inventoried, SPF, DKIM and DMARC are aligned, enforcement is staged, and the reports prove what changed.
Defender for Office 365 is licensed but was never fully deployed
Anti-phishing, Safe Links, Safe Attachments, impersonation protection and reporting are configured, tested against named cases, and handed over.
Security configuration grew inconsistently and an audit or renewal is asking questions
A bounded set of identity, email, sharing and endpoint controls is implemented, tested, and documented with production evidence.
How the work runs
The mail flow, senders, existing security policies and data controls are inventoried, and the target enforcement state is agreed as a fixed scope. Then: Controls are deployed and staged to enforcement with a pilot first, tested against named cases, and documented with the evidence attached.
Where this is priced
Each engagement below carries its own fixed scope. The price is agreed before any work begins, and the fixed proposal contains the delivery calendar and the completion date.
Implementation engagements
Bounded production work with a completion test.
Also delivered in this area, as custom projects
Work in this list is deliberately not packaged: the scope varies too much for one honest price. The route, the risks, the completion test and the fixed price are agreed before anything begins.
- SPF, DKIM & DMARC Enforcement
- Microsoft 365 Email Protection Deployment
- Secure Email Gateway Transition
- Purview Labels & DLP Deployment
- Cyber-Insurance Control Closure
- Defender XDR Visibility Deployment
- Microsoft Sentinel Deployment & Handoff
The finished state
What is true when it is done
Mail authentication is enforced, the licensed protections are actually deployed and tested, agreed data controls are in place, and every control claim on a questionnaire can be backed by evidence from the tenant.
What you keep
Everything below is yours to keep whatever happens next, including handing it to your own team or another vendor.
- The sender inventory and the enforcement record for SPF, DKIM and DMARC
- The Defender policy register with test results
- The data-protection and sharing control configuration, documented
- The evidence packet, assembled from the live tenant

What moves the price
The fee is set by what is actually in the environment; headcount is only one of the inputs.
- Number of sending services and domains
- Licensing tier available for the controls in scope
- Volume of sharing and data controls in scope
- Number of agreed change windows
