Microsoft Tenant Configuration Backup Service by Azured

Securing your Microsoft tenant: the ultimate policy management solution.

Posted 07 August 2024 by Andy Price

At Azured, we understand the importance of robust cyber security and seamless service delivery. That's why we've introduced our new Microsoft Tenant Configuration Backup service. This service is designed to manage, back up, and monitor your Microsoft tenant policies, ensuring your environment is secure, compliant, and resilient against emerging threats.

We're pretty committed to cybersecurity. And our new product, the Microsoft Tenant Configuration Backup, might be just what your Microsoft 365 tenant needs. This solution, has been made possible with Inforcer, a powerful tool that monitors, enforces, and backs up all security policies within Microsoft 365. This ensures your Microsoft tenant environment remains protected and compliant, adapting to the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats.

But where is our data stored?

A question that not enough people ask (but one that we should all be concerned about), is where our data is stored. Backups, along with the Inforcer platform itself, are all stored within Microsoft Azure here in the UK. This ensures compliance with data residency requirements and provides robust security for your data. And helps you to sleep easy at night. 

 

 

What are the next steps?

For new clients who are interested in this new service, the first step will be for us to benchmark your current security policies against best practice NCSC policies. This is where our Cloud Security Review comes in handy. Once we have assessed your tenant, any changes that will affect end users will be communicated to you, and we will schedule a suitable time to implement them. We will also provide a report comparing your current security settings to the best practice benchmarks.
