Microsoft 365 security for trades businesses that run from the job site

Contractors, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC companies run bids, invoices, and scheduling through Microsoft 365, mostly from the field. Augmentt gives every trades client the same baseline, so a 10-person shop gets the protection your largest account gets.

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

THE PROBLEM

Why trades tenants drift without anyone noticing

01

Crews change with the season

Seasonal hires and subcontractors cycle through every few months. Each wave brings new accounts, licenses, and one-off exceptions, and the tenant moves a little further from the standard every time.

02

Invoices are a target

Payment and change-order emails between contractors, suppliers, and customers are a common setup for invoice fraud. One compromised mailbox is enough.

03

The office manager is the IT department

The office manager handles new hires and password resets between jobs. Each small change either waits on your help desk or gets made with admin rights they don’t need.

Where you are today, and what changes with Augmentt

01

Old crew accounts still signing in

WITHOUT AUGMENTT

Last summer’s apprentice still has a mailbox and a license.

Scheduled offboarding and license reporting, so accounts and seats end when the job does.

02

Fraud caught after the payment

WITHOUT AUGMENTT

A new forwarding rule on the accounts payable mailbox goes unnoticed until a supplier asks where the money went.

Suspicious mailbox rule alerts across every tenant, so a new forwarding rule on the accounts payable mailbox gets flagged for your team to review.

03

Small clients, same manual work

WITHOUT AUGMENTT

A 12-person contractor takes as many hours to configure as a 60-person one.

One baseline template pushed to every trades client in minutes, with drift alerts when a setting changes.

What Augmentt covers for trades clients

Augmentt is a multi-tenant Microsoft 365 security and compliance platform built for MSPs. Connect each trades client’s tenant once, then manage onboarding, offboarding, devices, and licenses from one console.

User cloning for onboarding

Clone an existing crew lead’s setup for a new hire so the account matches the role on day one.

Scheduled offboarding

Set the end date when a seasonal hire starts, and Augmentt removes access when the season ends.

Intune device policy

Manage Intune policy for the phones and tablets crews use in the field, across every client.

Microsoft license reporting

See unused and unassigned licenses per client and free up seats when crews shrink.

MICROSOFT 365 COMPLIANCE REPORTING

One source for the fix and the evidence

Most trades clients never see an auditor, but every one of them fills in a cyber insurance renewal. Each control your team manages maps back to a recognized standard, and the posture report exports in a click when the questionnaire arrives.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps to managing trades tenants at scale

Connect the tenants

Magic Link onboarding and GDAP automation connect each trades 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 trades 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

Onboard and offboard seasonal crews in bulk from one console.

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 security to small trades clients at a per-seat price that still leaves you margin.

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 trades clients

Is Augmentt worth it for a 10-person contractor?

Pricing is per seat, so a small client costs what it uses. The baseline you build once applies to that client in minutes.

How do we find unused Microsoft 365 licenses across trades clients?

Microsoft license reporting in Augmentt shows unused and unassigned licenses per client, so seats freed up by departing crews can be reassigned or dropped at renewal.

How do we handle subcontractors who need temporary access?

Create the account with an offboarding date already set. When they need to sign in on a new device, issue a Temporary Access Pass from Augmentt.

Can we manage the phones crews use?

Yes. Intune Autopilot manages device policy across every client tenant from the same console.

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 trades 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 trades 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.

Prefer To Skip The Call?

Start the free trial instead. Connect a tenant yourself, run the first posture scan in under ten minutes, and see the findings before you ever talk to us. No card, no lock-in.
