Microsoft 365 & Azure
Cloud Security Services

The cloud is only as secure as the people who configured it. ArchiTECH hardens your Microsoft environment, locks down identities, and gives you full visibility — so you can work from anywhere without worrying about who else can get in.

Your Microsoft 365 Tenant Is Probably Not as Secure as You Think

Microsoft 365 is the backbone of most businesses in New Bedford, the South Shore, and across Greater Boston — but it ships with defaults optimized for convenience, not security. Without proper hardening, a compromised password or misconfigured permission can hand an attacker access to your entire organization: email, files, Teams conversations, and connected applications.

ArchiTECH specializes in securing, managing, and optimizing Microsoft cloud environments. We start with a full Microsoft Secure Score audit, implement hardening aligned with CIS and Microsoft security benchmarks, and then manage your environment ongoing — so your cloud stays locked down as your business evolves.

Microsoft 365 & Azure Services We Deliver

Microsoft 365 Security Hardening

We audit your M365 Secure Score and implement a comprehensive hardening baseline: anti-phishing policies, safe links, safe attachments, audit logging, data loss prevention, mailbox permissions review, and legacy authentication blocking. Most tenants we inherit have a Secure Score under 40% — we target 80%+.

Azure Configuration & Security

Whether you're running workloads in Azure or planning to migrate, we configure and secure your Azure environment with network segmentation, role-based access control (RBAC), Azure Policy enforcement, and Defender for Cloud integration. Cape Cod and South Shore businesses use Azure for everything from VMs to line-of-business application hosting — we make sure it's done right.

Entra ID, MFA & Single Sign-On

Identity is the new perimeter. We configure Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) with Conditional Access policies, enforced MFA for all users, Single Sign-On across your SaaS applications, and Privileged Identity Management (PIM) to limit standing admin access. If you still have users without MFA in Massachusetts in 2025, that needs to change — today.

Intune MDM & Device Compliance

Microsoft Intune gives you complete control over every device accessing your corporate data — Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. We deploy Intune, configure compliance policies, enforce encryption and screen lock, and enable remote wipe for lost or stolen devices. Your data stays protected whether your team is in New Bedford or working remotely from Providence.

Shadow IT Visibility

We deploy Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps to inventory every cloud service your employees access, score each for risk, and give you the controls to sanction, block, or govern them. Stop being surprised by personal Dropbox accounts syncing company files or unapproved tools creating HIPAA compliance gaps.

Cloud Migration, Teams & SharePoint Setup

Moving from on-premise Exchange, Google Workspace, or legacy file servers? We manage the full migration — email, calendars, contacts, and file shares — with zero data loss and minimal disruption. We also design and configure Teams and SharePoint to match how your organization actually works, with proper permission structures and governance policies built in from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Microsoft 365 ships with many security controls disabled or misconfigured by default to maximize ease of use during setup. Without proper hardening — including Conditional Access policies, Entra ID configuration, MFA enforcement, audit logging, and anti-phishing protections — your M365 environment can be exploited even with a legitimate license. ArchiTECH runs a full M365 Secure Score audit and implements a hardening baseline aligned with CIS and Microsoft's own security benchmarks.
Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) is Microsoft's cloud identity platform. It controls who can sign into your applications, from what devices, and under what conditions. Properly configured, Entra ID enables MFA enforcement, Single Sign-On (SSO) across all your apps, Conditional Access policies (e.g. block logins from foreign countries), and device compliance checks before granting access. For businesses in New Bedford and across Massachusetts, this is the foundation of a Zero Trust security model.
Shadow IT refers to apps, services, and tools your employees are using without IT approval — Dropbox personal accounts, personal Gmail for work files, unapproved file-sharing tools. These create data governance risks and compliance gaps. We use Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps to inventory all cloud services your team accesses, assess their risk, and either sanction, block, or govern them according to your policies.
Yes. We handle end-to-end migrations from Google Workspace, on-premise Exchange, legacy email systems, and file servers to Microsoft 365. Our migration process includes pre-migration assessment, data mapping, cutover planning, Teams and SharePoint configuration, and post-migration validation — with minimal disruption to your business. We've migrated businesses across New Bedford, Fall River, and Cape Cod to M365 with zero data loss.

Find Out How Secure Your Microsoft 365 Tenant Really Is
