Microsoft 365 cost and security optimisation

Cost and security findings usually come from the same places: unused licences, weak configuration and unclear ownership. Fixing them together is quicker and cheaper than treating them as separate projects.

Where cost and risk overlap

• Inactive accounts cost a licence each month and are an easy way in for an attacker
• Over-specified plans often include security features that are paid for but never switched on
• Duplicate tools mean paying twice for the same job, with neither configured properly
• Unmanaged cloud resources keep running after a project ends, often with loose access

How it works

The work starts from your assessment findings. We agree a short list of changes, ranked by saving, risk reduction and effort, then make them in a controlled order: security settings first where the risk is high, licence changes timed around your renewal date so you are not paying for a commitment you no longer need.

Savings are shown as ranges to test, not promises. They are confirmed against your actual bills once changes are made.

Microsoft 365 licensing and renewals

Renewals are the moment when money is most easily saved or lost. We review your current plans against how people actually work, check the terms of your agreement, and give you a clear recommendation before you renew. The advice is scoped and priced separately from any licence sale, so it is based on what you need rather than what is sold.

Keeping the gains

Savings and security drift back if nobody owns them. The plan ends with simple monitoring: a regular Microsoft 365 licence review, alerts for key security settings and a named owner for each.
