A Documented Security Baseline That Does Not Quietly Drift Away
Microsoft 365 default settings are not a security strategy, and every tenant drifts from its intended configuration over time as settings change, new features roll out, and admins make one-off exceptions. Regroove implements a Microsoft 365 security framework aligned to CIS benchmarks, then keeps monitoring your tenant so it stays compliant with that baseline long after the initial project ends.
What a Real Microsoft 365 Security Baseline Looks Like
A security posture is not a vague sense that things are handled. It is a documented configuration standard you can point to, and evidence that your tenant still matches it.
CIS-Aligned Configuration Baseline
We build your Microsoft 365 tenant configuration against the CIS Microsoft 365 Foundations Benchmark, a recognized, publicly documented standard rather than an internal checklist we invented ourselves. That gives you a defensible answer when someone asks what your security posture is actually based on.
Identity and Access Controls
Conditional access, multi-factor enforcement, privileged role assignments, and legacy authentication settings are usually where a tenant drifts furthest from a secure default. We configure and document these areas against the baseline first, since they carry the most risk when left loose.
Data Protection and Device Management Settings
Sharing defaults in SharePoint and OneDrive, mailbox forwarding rules, and mobile device management policies all have a correct, boring answer under the benchmark. We configure them once and document why each setting is where it is, so future changes are deliberate rather than accidental.
Application Security Settings
Third-party app consent, add-in permissions, and Teams and SharePoint app policies are an easy way for risk to enter a tenant without anyone noticing. We lock these down to the baseline and keep them there, instead of leaving default consent settings wide open.
Continuous Configuration Drift Detection
A benchmark project that ends the day it is delivered starts decaying the day after. We run continuous configuration monitoring that compares your live tenant settings against the approved baseline around the clock, and flags any drift the moment it appears, whether it came from an admin change, a rolled-out Microsoft default, or a one-off exception nobody remembered to reverse.
Documented, Board-Ready Compliance Reporting
We provide clear reporting on your compliance status over time, not a one-time PDF that goes stale immediately. That documentation is built to hold up in cyber insurance renewals, client security questionnaires, and audits, where "we think it is fine" is not an acceptable answer.
How We Build and Maintain Your Compliance Posture
As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, we know the platform well enough to tell the difference between a setting that looks fine and a setting that is actually secure. That is the standard we hold your tenant to, from the first assessment through every month afterward.
Baseline Assessment
We assess your current Microsoft 365 tenant configuration against the CIS Microsoft 365 Foundations Benchmark, identifying every setting that falls short of the standard across identity, data protection, device management, and application security.
Gap Prioritization
Not every gap carries the same risk. We prioritize findings by actual exposure, so the highest-risk configuration items get addressed first instead of working through a flat checklist in an arbitrary order.
Baseline Implementation
We configure your tenant to bring it into alignment with the approved baseline, documenting every change made and the reasoning behind any deliberate exception your organization requires.
Compliance Documentation
We produce a clear, board-ready record of your configuration baseline and compliance status, the kind of documentation you can hand to an insurer, a client security review, or an auditor without having to translate it first.
Continuous Drift Monitoring
Once the baseline is in place, we turn on continuous configuration monitoring that compares your tenant against the approved baseline on an ongoing basis and flags any drift as it happens, rather than waiting for the next annual review to find it.
Ongoing Remediation and Reporting
When drift is detected, we investigate and remediate it, and we keep your compliance reporting current. This is ongoing work Regroove does for you, not a one-time assessment we hand over and walk away from.
