Microsoft 365 Modern Workplace & Endpoint Security.
TorchLight designs, migrates, secures, and manages Microsoft 365 as a complete business platform: identity, endpoints, collaboration, data protection, threat defense, and day-to-day support working together instead of as disconnected tools.
- Secure identity and access with Microsoft Entra ID
- Modern endpoint management with Microsoft Intune
- Microsoft Defender security across users and endpoints
How Secure Is Your Microsoft 365 Tenant Right Now?
A Microsoft 365 environment can have powerful security tools enabled and still contain configuration gaps. Identity permissions, email forwarding, Conditional Access policies, and tenant settings deserve the same scrutiny as the threats targeting them.
TorchLight’s Microsoft 365 security configuration review gives your organization an evidence-backed picture of its current security posture, identifies configuration weaknesses, and provides a prioritized plan for improvement.
Microsoft 365 Security Configuration Review
We Measure Your Tenant Against the CIS Microsoft 365 Foundations Benchmark.
We conduct a point-in-time gap analysis of your Microsoft 365 environment against applicable Center for Internet Security (CIS) Microsoft 365 Foundations Benchmark recommendations. We also analyze Microsoft Secure Score, validate key settings manually, and use read-only scripting to identify details automated scans can miss.
What We Examine
- Microsoft 365 configuration gaps against applicable CIS Foundations Benchmark controls
- Account security, administrative privileges, authorization, and application permissions
- Exchange Online, email security, forwarding configurations, and data management settings
- Audit logging, storage, and mobile device management configuration
- Microsoft Secure Score, recommended improvements, and relevant security controls
- Manual configuration checks and custom read-only scripting beyond automated scans
What You Receive
- A security configuration report with findings and prioritized remediation recommendations
- A detailed, control-by-control scorecard showing the status of each item reviewed
- An export of mailbox inbox rules and forwarding rules
- Identification of mailboxes configured for external forwarding
- Documentation of existing Microsoft Entra Conditional Access policies
- Multifactor authentication status for each account reviewed
Nothing changes without your approval. The review is read-only. TorchLight documents findings and recommendations; configuration changes are a separate decision made by your organization.

Make Work Simpler Without Making Security Weaker.
Microsoft 365 can replace layers of aging infrastructure, disconnected security products, manual device deployment, and complicated remote access with one integrated workplace built around identity, managed endpoints, protected data, and secure collaboration.
Simpler Day-to-Day
- Single sign-on through Microsoft Entra ID with strong multifactor authentication
- SharePoint and OneDrive replacing traditional file-server dependency
- Teams bringing chat, meetings, calling, and collaboration into one workspace
Stronger Security
- Defender for Office 365 helping protect users from phishing, malicious links, and email threats
- Microsoft Defender providing endpoint protection and EDR across managed endpoints
- Conditional Access and device compliance controlling who can reach business data
Lower Complexity
- Reduce dependence on file servers, print servers, and risky legacy VPN access
- Deploy standardized endpoints with Windows Autopilot and Microsoft Intune
- Automate updates, security baselines, and device lifecycle management
From Traditional IT to a Modern Microsoft Workplace
The goal is not simply moving software to the cloud. It is reducing infrastructure and management complexity while improving security, consistency, and user experience.
The Microsoft 365 Stack Works Best as One System.
Identity, endpoint management, collaboration, security, data protection, and automation become much more valuable when they are designed to work together. TorchLight manages the Microsoft 365 environment as an interconnected operating platform, not a collection of separate licenses.
Identity & Access
Build access around verified identities, strong authentication, and contextual policies instead of depending on network location alone.
Endpoint Management
Standardize configuration, deployment, compliance, and lifecycle management across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices.
Collaboration
Give employees a consistent cloud workspace for communication, meetings, files, sharing, and collaborative work across locations.
Threat Protection
Protect endpoints, identities, email, collaboration, and user activity with Microsoft security controls integrated across the tenant.
Information Protection
Apply controls to sensitive business information, improve visibility into data use, and reduce accidental or unauthorized exposure.
Automation & Lifecycle
Reduce repetitive administration with standardized baselines, automated updates, cloud deployment, and managed lifecycle policies.
Microsoft 365 Modernization
A modern Microsoft environment should be designed around the organization first, then migrated in controlled stages. TorchLight moves from assessment to architecture, testing, deployment, and ongoing management without treating the project like a one-night infrastructure swap.
Assess the Current Environment
Understand the existing tenant, identity model, infrastructure, endpoints, licensing, applications, security controls, workflows, and business requirements before changing architecture.
- Tenant and licensing review
- Identity and access assessment
- Device and infrastructure inventory
- Security and operational requirements
Design the Target Environment
Build the future-state Microsoft architecture around security, usability, compliance, management standards, operational resilience, and the way employees actually work.
- Entra ID and access architecture
- Intune and endpoint standards
- SharePoint and OneDrive design
- Defender and security configuration
Migrate, Test & Deploy
Implement the environment in controlled stages, validate policies and workflows with selected users, migrate data and services, then expand deployment across the organization.
- Pilot users and controlled testing
- Data and service migration
- Device enrollment and Autopilot
- Production rollout and validation
Manage & Improve
Microsoft 365 becomes an operational platform that requires ongoing management, support, security tuning, lifecycle control, user administration, and continuous improvement.
- User and license administration
- Endpoint and policy management
- Security monitoring and tuning
- Lifecycle and platform optimization
Microsoft 365 Should Not Be Managed in Isolation.
Microsoft 365 touches identity, endpoint security, collaboration, data protection, user support, and day-to-day IT operations. TorchLight connects the platform to the broader managed IT and cybersecurity environment instead of treating it as a standalone tenant.

Microsoft 365 for Organizations With More at Stake.
TorchLight works with organizations where security, governance, resilience, and auditability matter as much as productivity. Microsoft 365 architecture can be aligned to the operational realities of regulated and security-sensitive environments.
Why Microsoft 365 Configuration and Monitoring Matter.
Microsoft 365 is also a major attack surface. Identity workflows, Teams, SharePoint, email, endpoints, and cloud permissions can all become entry points when configuration and monitoring fall behind the way attackers are actually operating.
Device Code Phishing
Attackers can abuse legitimate Microsoft authentication workflows to trick users into authorizing access. Identity security requires more than simply turning on MFA.
