Your clients may not be mechanics, but they understand the importance of regular inspections for their cars. The same goes for their IT environments. With Augmentt’s 100-point security inspection, you can deliver a comprehensive report on your client or prospect’s Microsoft 365 setup. This audit covers critical areas like identity, email, and data protection. It quickly identifies security gaps and offers actionable recommendations. Plus, it maps client configurations to CISA SCuBA compliance standards for added confidence.
A 100-Point Microsoft Security Audit: What It Covers
Augmentt’s 100-point audit provides a thorough review of key Microsoft security settings, focusing on three critical areas:
- Account and Identity Security
Ensuring only the right people have access to resources is crucial. The audit checks user permissions, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and role-based access controls, helping to prevent unauthorized access. - Email Security
Email is a prime target for cyberattacks, including phishing and malware. The audit reviews anti-phishing protocols, email encryption, and malware filtering to ensure secure communication. - Data and File Security
Protecting sensitive data is vital. The audit examines file permissions, encryption, and data loss prevention policies to ensure data is securely stored and transferred.
By focusing on these key areas, MSPs can address the most significant security risks in their clients’ Microsoft environments.
CISA SCuBA Compliance: Mapping Security to Standards
The 100-point audit now includes CISA SCuBA (Security Configuration Baseline Assessment) compliance mapping. This feature allows MSPs to audit configurations against NIST CSF 2.0, CIS v8.0, and CISA SCuBA standards. It helps MSPs perform compliance assessments that meet the latest regulations. The audit also provides real-time updates on Microsoft Secure Score, enabling continuous monitoring and improvement of security posture.
Simplified Security with 1-Click Security Baselines
After the audit, MSPs can use 1-click Security Baselines to quickly apply recommended security settings. Once approved by the client, the updates are applied, and the Microsoft Secure Score adjusts to reflect the improvements. This saves time and ensures all steps are taken to boost security and maintain compliance, providing ongoing protection with minimal effort.
Enhance Security with Conditional Access and Policy Management
One of the most effective security improvements you can make is through Conditional Access policies. Create policies to enforce MFA, restrict access based on location or device, and ensure only compliant devices connect to client environments. Managing these policies can be complex, but tools like Augmentt’s Policy Manager make it simple. By streamlining policy creation and management, MSPs can roll out strong security measures quickly, reduce risks, and improve client security. Check out our recent blog on how MSPs can use our policy manager to take advantage of conditional access policies.
For MSPs performing M365 security audits (or planning to), Augmentt’s 100-point audit is a handy tool. It covers crucial areas like account security, email protection, and data security, while incorporating the latest CISA SCuBA compliance standards. With 1-click Security Baselines and conditional access policy management, MSPs can easily apply best practices, update configurations, and improve Secure Scores—boosting overall security with minimal effort.
