Secure Microsoft 365 & Azure
Secure sign-ins, controlled devices and sharing, independent backup, and clear administration across Microsoft 365, with scoped support for the Azure systems your organization relies on.
Run the tenant with clear ownership.
We review licences, organize SharePoint, document Exchange settings, and configure the controls in scope. Ongoing administration, security coverage, and fixed-scope projects each have a defined delivery path below.
Licence review
We match Microsoft 365 licences to the users and controls that need them, then flag unused, duplicate, or misassigned seats.
SharePoint sites and permissions
We organize SharePoint into clear sites with permission boundaries, and sync the document libraries staff need through OneDrive.
Exchange Online
We document mail flow, shared mailbox permissions, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC so sender authentication and delegated access have clear owners. Enforced DMARC and ongoing reporting are scoped separately.
Teams Phone
When scoped, we configure Teams Phone, number assignment, call routing, and the access required to administer it.
Protect the accounts that control everything.
A stolen account can reach email, files, and administration. We use sign-in policies, multi-factor authentication, application sign-on, and time-limited administrative access to reduce what one compromised password can expose.
- Risky sign-ins
Sign-in policies consider the user, device, location, application, and risk. Access can be challenged or blocked when those conditions fall outside the approved rules.
- Credential theft
We require multi-factor authentication for the accounts in scope, document recovery methods, and block older sign-in methods that bypass modern controls.
- Password sprawl
We connect supported business applications to Microsoft sign-in, so staff use one managed identity instead of another password.
- Permanent admin access
Where the Microsoft licence supports it, eligible administrators activate time-limited access when needed, with approval rules added where appropriate.
Set device rules before data is opened.
Microsoft Intune can prepare a new Windows laptop, install approved applications, and check its security state before it reaches company data. Application protection rules can also separate work data on personal phones.
Windows Autopilot
A laptop ships straight to the employee. When they sign in, Intune applies the approved settings and installs their applications.
Compliance policies
Device rules can require disk encryption, Secure Boot, and current operating system updates before a device reaches company data.
Application packaging
Intune installs the approved business applications in the background, so staff are not walking through setup themselves.
Mobile application management
Application protection rules can keep work data inside approved mobile applications and remove that work data without wiping personal photos or messages.
Keep Azure work scoped and owned.
Azure work is scoped around the systems you actually run. We handle access, configuration, migration, and cost controls where a cloud workload needs a clear technical owner.
- Azure Virtual Desktop
Azure Virtual Desktop gives staff a managed Windows session and can keep application processing and stored session data inside the Azure environment.
- Server migration
We move supported servers and databases into Azure when the application cannot move to a managed cloud service.
- Azure cost controls
We set Azure budgets, tag resources, and review idle capacity, so unexpected spend is easier to catch early.
- Azure Arc
Azure Arc brings supported on-premises servers into the same management view as your Azure resources.
Migrate first. Plan recovery separately.
A successful migration does not create a backup. We plan and validate the cutover, then keep a separate recovery copy of the Microsoft 365 data included in scope.
Email and data migration
We inventory the source, test a representative sample, move the approved email, calendar, contact, and file data, then reconcile counts and exceptions after cutover.
Independent cloud backup
A separate backup keeps recovery copies of the Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data in scope. Retention and legal hold remain separate Microsoft 365 functions.
SharePoint migration
We map file server data into the approved SharePoint sites and preserve supported metadata and folder structure where it still serves the new design.
Choose the right delivery path.
Microsoft work can be ongoing security, full day-to-day administration, or one defined project. The scope should say which one you are buying.
Industries we serve on Microsoft 365.
These businesses and nonprofits depend on Microsoft 365 for email, files, collaboration, and day-to-day work.
Law firms
We scope access to matter files, configure retention and legal holds, and separate teams when firm policy requires an ethical wall.
Accounting firms
We control how client documents move, keep the security evidence organized for questionnaires, and plan Microsoft 365 changes around filing season.
Financial services
We limit inappropriate sharing, protect communications, and keep the security records a regulatory review may ask for.

Decide who owns the configuration.
Buying Microsoft 365 gives you the platform and its native controls. Someone still needs to configure sign-ins, sharing, administration, devices, email protection, and recovery, then keep track of the decisions a client or insurer may ask about.
Ongoing Microsoft 365 security sits inside Managed Security & Compliance. Full day-to-day administration and licensing sit inside Managed IT, which includes that security program. Reviews, cleanups, setups, migrations, and Copilot hardening can also be delivered as fixed-scope engagements.
Frequently asked questions.
What Microsoft 365 work does Teclara provide?
There are three delivery paths. Managed Security & Compliance covers ongoing sign-in controls, email protection, independent backup, configuration monitoring, endpoint protection, and alert review. Managed IT adds full day-to-day administration, devices, licensing, and helpdesk. Fixed-scope engagements cover reviews, cleanups, setups, migrations, policy implementation, and Copilot security hardening.
Do you provide Microsoft 365 licensing?
Yes, when licensing is part of the agreed service. We can provision and manage Microsoft 365 Business Premium, E3, and E5 licences, review which users and controls require them, and flag seats that are unused or assigned incorrectly. Licensing by itself is not the service Teclara leads with.
What security configurations do you apply to Microsoft 365?
We start with the applicable Microsoft 365 security baseline and CIS Benchmark, then adjust the controls to the licences, workflows, and risks in scope. The work commonly covers multi-factor authentication, sign-in policies, older authentication methods, administrator access, email protection, sharing, device rules, and logging.
Can you migrate our email and files to Microsoft 365?
Yes. Migrations are scoped projects. We inventory the source, test a representative sample, plan the cutover, move the approved email and file data, and reconcile counts and exceptions afterward. Independent backup is planned separately and can be put in place as part of the migration.
Do we need Microsoft Intune?
It depends on which devices reach company data and how much control the organization needs. Intune can prepare Windows laptops, install approved applications, require encryption and current updates, and apply work-data protections on personal phones. We confirm the device types, licences, and operating requirements before recommending it.
Put clear ownership around Microsoft 365.
We will review the tenant, the controls already in place, and who owns the remaining work, then recommend the right delivery path.
