Microsoft 365, managed properly

Microsoft 365 Services: Licensing, Management, Security and Support

Most businesses already pay for Microsoft 365. Far fewer have it set up, secured and looked after properly. We supply the licences, set up every part of Microsoft 365 to a tested standard, keep it secure and compliant, back it up, and support your people when they need help.

MANAGED

Everything Microsoft 365, looked after

Microsoft 365 is far more than email. It is your identity system, your file server, your phone system and, increasingly, your AI. Each part has hundreds of settings, and the defaults are not designed for a business that needs to stay secure and pass an audit.

    A one-off setup fee applies, from £45 per service. Moving email from another provider is quoted separately.

    How it works

    1. 1Licences

      We are a Microsoft cloud partner. We supply your licences on one monthly bill and make sure each person has the right one, so you do not pay for features nobody uses.

    2. 2Baseline

      We apply our tested security and configuration baseline across Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Intune, Entra ID and Defender.

    3. 3Watch

      We check every day that nothing has drifted from the baseline and our security operations centre watches for risky sign-ins and admin changes.

    4. 4Support

      Your people get help from engineers who know your setup, by phone, email or our portal.

    Running Microsoft 365 in-house?

    Most businesses we meet are paying for Microsoft 365 features they have never switched on, with no one watching sign-ins, no identity controls and no evidence for their auditors or insurers. Our certified engineers and best-in-class management and security tools do it for you, for a fixed monthly price per user.

    Questions and answers

    Can you take over our existing Microsoft 365?

    Yes. Most clients come to us with Microsoft 365 already in place. We review what you have, agree the changes with you and bring it up to our baseline without disrupting your people.

    Do we have to buy our licences from you?

    No, but most clients do because it puts licences, management and support on one monthly bill and lets us right-size them for you.

    Which Microsoft 365 licence do we need?

    For most small and medium businesses Microsoft 365 Business Premium is the right choice, because it includes Intune device management, Defender and conditional access. Business Standard is popular with smaller businesses, but it has no Microsoft Entra ID P1 or Intune, so there is no conditional access or device compliance, which leaves identity, security and compliance hard to control. We will recommend the right mix for each role, so people who only need email do not pay for desktop apps.

    Is Microsoft 365 secure out of the box?

    Not fully. Microsoft provides the tools, but many important protections are switched off or left open by default. Setting them up correctly, and keeping them that way, is exactly what our management service does.

    How much does it cost?

    Professional management starts from £6.00 per user per month plus VAT, on top of your Microsoft licences. Use the calculator on our Professional Management page to price licences, management and security together.
