Microsoft 365 security for manufacturers and their shop floors

Manufacturers share designs with suppliers, run shared devices on the production line, and staff frontline workers across shifts. Augmentt holds every manufacturing tenant you manage to one baseline and exports the proof when a customer or insurer asks for it.

No multi-year lock-in. A trial and onboarding that prove it early.

THE PROBLEM

Why manufacturing tenants are hard to standardize

01

Designs leave the building

Drawings, specs, and quotes move between engineering, suppliers, and customers through SharePoint and OneDrive. Loose sharing settings let that work travel further than anyone intended.

02

Shared devices on the floor

Kiosks and tablets on the production line are used by many people across shifts. Each one without device policy is a way in.

03

Office and floor run on different plans

Frontline and office staff often sit on different Microsoft 365 licenses, so the same control doesn’t reach everyone.

Where you are today, and what changes with Augmentt

01

Supplier files shared too widely

WITHOUT AUGMENTT

An engineering folder shared with a supplier for one job stays open long after the order ships.

Sharing scope, link expiration, and approved-domain allowlists audited on every manufacturing tenant and fixed in bulk.

02

Devices nobody manages

WITHOUT AUGMENTT

Shop-floor tablets set up once and never checked again.

Intune policy managed across every client from the same console as identity and security.

03

Controls that depend on the license

WITHOUT AUGMENTT

A control works for office staff and silently skips frontline accounts.

The compliance view shows where licensing limits what a client can enforce.

What Augmentt covers for manufacturing clients

Augmentt is a multi-tenant Microsoft 365 security and compliance platform built for MSPs. Connect each manufacturing client’s tenant once, then manage devices, sharing, baselines, and MFA recovery from one console.

Intune device policy

Manage device policy for shop-floor tablets and kiosks across every manufacturing client.

SharePoint and OneDrive sharing controls

Audit external sharing and manage the domains each client may share drawings and specs with.

Baseline policy templates

Save a policy template once and push it to every manufacturing client, so each one starts from the same baseline.

Temporary Access Passes

Re-register MFA and issue Temporary Access Passes for shift workers who swap or lose phones.

MICROSOFT 365 COMPLIANCE REPORTING

One source for the fix and the evidence

Every action your team takes in a manufacturing tenant maps back to NIST CSF, CIS Microsoft 365, or CMMC. When a customer sends a security questionnaire, an insurer asks about controls, or an assessor needs evidence, export it in a click. When a control needs premium Microsoft licensing, the view says so.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps to managing manufacturing tenants at scale

Connect the tenants

Magic Link onboarding and GDAP automation connect each manufacturing client at integration, using granular, least-privilege admin roles instead of standing global admin access.

Audit every tenant

Run a Microsoft 365 security audit on every tenant to increase your Microsoft Secure Score, check the standards manufacturing clients answer to, and see where licensing limits what a client can enforce.

Remediate and hold it

Fix loose controls from Augmentt, push the same baseline to every tenant, and let drift alerts tell the team when a client moves off the standard.

FOR YOUR TEAM

What changes for your team

Technicians run the platform every day. Owners build a practice on top of it. One tool that works for the people doing the job and the people pricing it.

FOR MSP TECHNICIANS

One screen instead of one admin center per client

Manage Intune policy for every plant’s devices without a separate console per client.

Fix a loose control in a click, and get alerted when someone loosens it again.

Runs on the GDAP permissions already in place, with no golden tenant to maintain.

FOR MSP OWNERS

A billable service instead of an absorbed project

Offer a managed security service to manufacturers whose customers and insurers now ask about their controls.

Show a client where their posture stands against a standard they recognize, and bill for keeping it there.

Hand an auditor, an insurer, or a QBR the same exported evidence your team works from.

What MSPs say

**Tim Campbell**Practice Director, All CoveredRead the story

Questions MSPs ask about manufacturing clients

Can we control which suppliers a client shares files with?

Yes. Manage approved domains and the security groups allowed to share externally, so drawings and specs only go to the partners a client works with.

Can we manage shared devices on the shop floor?

Yes. Intune Autopilot manages device policy across client tenants from the same console as identity and security settings.

What if frontline staff are on different licenses?

The compliance view shows which controls need premium licensing, per tenant, so you can see where frontline accounts fall short.

What if a client supplies the defense industry?

Augmentt also maps its Microsoft 365 checks to CMMC, the Department of Defense’s certification for its supply chain, so the same posture report covers those clients when a contract requires it.

Doesn't Microsoft 365 Lighthouse already do this?

Lighthouse is oriented to identity and threat protection and does not reach SharePoint, OneDrive, Purview, or Teams policy. Augmentt covers those alongside Conditional Access, Intune, and Defender in one multi-tenant console.

What if a client isn't licensed for a control?

Microsoft licensing requirements show in the compliance view, so the gap is visible per tenant and becomes a concrete licensing conversation instead of a surprise.

Pick a real manufacturing tenant. We'll show you what's exposed in it.

Thirty minutes on your own environment. Connect one tenant live, see the findings, and see the report you’d hand that client next week.

A live posture scan on one of your own manufacturing client tenants, not a canned dataset.

The client-facing report you could send that account the same week.

A straight answer on whether the margin works at your client count.

No slides. No multi-week sales sequence.
