Identity, security and compliance

One identity for every person and device, access rules that trust the managed device, protection on every endpoint, and the evidence your insurer, your clients and the law ask for — including Law 25. Implemented the same way on a Mac as on a Windows PC, and run as a program rather than a stack of products.

What’s included

Security that people can live with, built on the Microsoft stack you already pay for, with the artefacts a questionnaire or an audit asks for.

Identity

Microsoft Entra ID or Okta as the one identity for every app. Single sign-on, phishing-resistant multifactor authentication, and a joiner, mover and leaver process so access ends the day the job does.

Conditional access

Access rules that trust a managed, encrypted, up-to-date device and challenge anything else. Legacy sign-in methods turned off, risk-based prompts, privileged access separated from everyday accounts.

Endpoint protection

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, encryption, patching and application control on every Mac and Windows computer, managed in Intune or Jamf and reported in one place.

Data protection and Law 25

Microsoft Purview for classification, retention and data loss prevention. For Law 25, the inventory of personal information, consent and retention rules, the incident register, and support for your privacy officer — the technical measures and the governance artefacts, together.

Monitoring and response

Microsoft Sentinel or Defender XDR for detection, an incident response plan that has been rehearsed, and clear roles for the day something happens.

Evidence on demand

Insurer questionnaires, client security reviews and vendor assessments answered from the same documented controls, so each request takes hours instead of weeks.

How a program runs

  1. Assess

    A gap analysis against your obligations — insurer requirements, client contracts, Law 25 — and against how attackers actually get in. You get the gaps ranked by consequence to your business, not by vendor pitch.

  2. Design

    The target state — identity, access, endpoints, data, monitoring — decided and documented, with the controls mapped to the questions you keep being asked.

  3. Implement in phases

    Identity and multifactor first, then conditional access and endpoints, then data protection and monitoring. Each phase closes gaps on its own; people keep working throughout.

  4. Operate and evidence

    Controls monitored, exceptions reviewed, the incident plan rehearsed, and the evidence kept current. We run it with your team, or hand it over documented.

Who it’s for
  • Mid-size organizations whose insurer, clients or regulator now ask for proof, not promises.
  • Firms handling personal, client or patient information under Law 25 and client confidentiality obligations — financial services, healthcare, legal, engineering, consulting.
  • Organizations that own Microsoft 365 security licences and have never fully turned them on.
  • Companies after an incident, a failed questionnaire, or a near miss.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need Microsoft 365 for this?
It helps. Most of the program runs on Entra ID, Intune, Defender and Purview, which many organizations already license. On Google Workspace or Okta we design around what you run; the principles are the same.
What do you actually do for Law 25?
The technical measures — access control, encryption, logging, retention, incident detection — and the governance artefacts the law expects: the inventory of personal information, the policies, the incident register, and support for your privacy officer. We are not a law firm; where legal advice is needed, we work with yours.
Will this get us through our cyber insurance renewal?
The controls insurers ask about — multifactor authentication, endpoint detection, backups, privileged access, incident planning — are the core of the program, and the evidence is kept ready for the questionnaire. We cannot promise an underwriter’s answer, but we can make sure yours is accurate and well supported.
Does it cover Mac computers properly?
Yes. Every control is applied to Mac and Windows alike — encryption, Defender, conditional access, compliance reporting — through Intune or Jamf with Apple Business Manager.
Can you work with our IT team or provider?
Yes. We design and lead the program and your team or provider runs the day-to-day. Roles are written down from the first week.
