Our managed Office 365 solution takes the complexity out of migrating and supporting your Office 365 environment. We will ensure that your platform is secure and fully backed-up.

Our Office 365 Managed Security provides an additional layer of security that protects your organisation from the most common weaknesses in network infrastructure. Our solutions are proven to increase your Microsoft ‘Secure Score’ and provide you with security that’s significantly above the industry average. benchmarks & KPI’s.

Office 365 doesn’t provide comprehensive back-up, so if anything goes wrong, such as a security breach or user accidently deleting their data you will not be able to recover it. EBC Group can esnure that your critical data is fully recoverable via Veeam backup for 365.

O365 Managed Security includes:

  • A standard security implementation for all users that ensures passwords are complex enough to withstand hacking attempts.
  • We will liaise with Microsoft directly on your behalf for any security issues that occur with Office 365.
  • Setup of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all your users. With our MFA solution a second form of authentication is required for login to Office 365.*

* Our recommended option is to implement the Microsoft MFA application which is linked between the application such as Outlook and the user’s mobile phone device. If this isn’t feasible to install this application other options available include notification via text or email.

Microsoft Teams

With more organisations remote working there has been a sigificant increase in Microsoft Teams usage. Teams, offers a user friendly space that facilitates work between remote users or within a large organisation. It integrates with your other Microsoft business tools, such as Outlook and Office and most importantly is available for free as part of Office 365.

EBC Group can make sure Microsoft Teams is secure and fully integrated into your business and its processes. Our information management tools ensure you can securely access relevant information, no matter where it is stored and where you are working from.

Microsoft provides powerful services within Office 365 – but a comprehensive backup of your Office 365 data is not one of them. Of over 1,000 IT Pros surveyed, 81% experienced data loss in Office 365 – from simple user error to major data security threats.

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 eliminates the risk of losing access and control over your Office 365 data including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business and Microsoft Teams – so that your data is always protected and accessible.

 

Why Backup Office 365?

 
Microsoft Office 365 enables your enterprise to work anywhere, anytime, without the need to host your own email, files and SharePoint infrastructure. Even though Microsoft hosts the infrastructure, this doesn’t replace your responsibility to backup business-critical Office 365 data.
 



With Office 365, it’s your data — you control it — and it is your responsibility to protect it.




 

Did you know that 60% of sensitive cloud data is stored in Office documents, and 75% is NOT backed up? Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 gives you the power to securely backup Office 365 to any location, including on premises, a hyperscale cloud, or a service provider and:

 


    

  • Protect your Office 365 data from accidental deletion, security threats and retention policy gaps
    • 

  • Quickly restore individual Office 365 email, files and sites with industry-leading recovery flexibility
    • 

  • Meet legal and compliance requirements with efficient eDiscovery of Office 365 items
    • 










                        

                    


                                
                    

                        

                             
Although offering a host of collaborative and communication benefits, Office 365’s its in-built protection falls short of the security required for most organisations. This is leaving many businesses wide open to a range of potential cyber vulnerabilities.


If you have migrated your email or data into Microsoft Office 365, you may be unaware that if you have not enabled, configured or completed the security protection features you may be at risk.


Some organisations are federating or syncing their on premise directory services into the cloud without adequate protection in place. This makes you vulnerable to security holes which are now in the cloud and on-premise.

                        

                    


                                
                    

                        

                             
Although Microsoft offers two levels of Office 365 email security- Exchange Online Protection (EOP) and Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), neither offers true enterprise level security, leaving organisations open to a number of security concerns. To overcome these vulnerabilities, businesses can opt for EBC Group’s additional security solutions that enhance the security of the Microsoft platform and improves Office 365 email security concerns.


EBC Group are recommending that clients implement an additional level of security to protect themselves against security breaches. Without this layer additional layer of security EBC will not liable in the event of a security breach.

                        

                    


                                
                    

                        

                             
Microsoft have created a new security analytics tool for Office 365, named Secure Score to help keep your cloud environment safe. The tool analyses your Office 365 environment in terms of how secure it is and suggests refinements that can be taken to further reduce your overall risk.


Giving a numerical security score which can be compared to the industry average scores and also the action that can be taken to ensure your cloud environment is secure and lessen the chances of being hacked or suffering from a data breach.

EBC Group can provide a managed service, which will prioritise actions which will have the most impact on your users. Through these actions we’ll improve your current security score and ensure its significantly above the industry average.
