Frequently Asked Questions

Microsoft 365 FAQs

Questions regarding the Microsoft 356 ecosystem.

Is standard Microsoft 365 secure out of the box, or do we need extra protection?

Microsoft provides a highly secure cloud platform, but its default settings leave individual businesses vulnerable to credential theft and account takeover. True security requires custom hardening. We protect your tenant by enforcing strict Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), deploying Microsoft Entra ID conditional access, blocking legacy email protocols, and setting up automated alert triggers for suspicious login attempts.

How can we tell if we are wasting money on redundant or incorrect Microsoft 365 licensing?

Most SMEs unknowingly pay for features they don't use or buy expensive licenses for users who only require basic access. We conduct a thorough audit of your users' actual daily roles to eliminate "license bloat." By properly blending options like Business Basic, Business Premium, and standalone apps, we make sure you only pay for exactly what your team uses while keeping advanced protection intact.

What is the difference between SharePoint and OneDrive, and how should a business use them?

Think of OneDrive as your digital personal briefcase—it is designed for individual employees to store their private, working documents. SharePoint is your company’s central filing cabinet—it is built for structured data storage, collaborative department folders, and company-wide document management. We build clear data governance models so your team knows exactly where files live.

Can we completely replace our old on-premises server with SharePoint and the cloud?

In most cases, yes. Migrating your physical file servers to SharePoint and Azure Active Directory eliminates costly hardware maintenance and simplifies secure hybrid working. However, if your business relies on heavy legacy databases or specialized on-site software, a hybrid cloud setup may be required. We assess your applications first to design the safest migration route.

How do Microsoft Intune and Entra ID help secure our remote and hybrid workers?

These tools give you complete control over your business data, no matter where your staff opens their laptops. Microsoft Entra ID handles secure identity management and Single Sign-On (SSO). Microsoft Intune allows us to remotely manage, update, and secure your physical laptops, mobiles, and tablets. If a device is lost or stolen, Intune lets us wipe company data from it instantly over the air.
