Structured Microsoft security. Real protection.

Many organisations already own the Microsoft security capability they need, but still rely on weak defaults, partial configuration, or inconsistent controls. CIPHER helps businesses assess, strengthen, and continuously improve their Microsoft security posture through structured design, practical implementation, and measurable outcomes.

Service Tiers

Structured Microsoft Security Services

CIPHER Solutions is built around three focused services, from initial visibility to implementation and ongoing posture ownership.

Tier One

CIPHER Security Snapshot

A structured assessment of your current Microsoft security posture, designed to identify risk, expose missed capability, and prioritise improvement.

  • Secure Score and posture review
  • Identity, MFA, and Conditional Access analysis
  • Privileged access and admin exposure review
  • Email, tenant, and baseline configuration assessment
  • Licensing capability review and missed-value analysis
  • Prioritised findings with executive summary
Ideal for organisations that need clarity before making security decisions
Tier Three

CIPHER Managed

Ongoing Microsoft security posture management for organisations that need continuous improvement, clearer ownership, and regular reporting.

  • Monthly posture reviews and Secure Score tracking
  • Continuous remediation of agreed backlog items
  • Conditional Access, identity, and policy tuning over time
  • Regular governance and privileged access reviews
  • Reporting for technical and leadership stakeholders
  • Strategic guidance for security maturity and future capability
Best suited to organisations that need a trusted Microsoft security partner, not just a one-time project

Built for measurable progress, not checkbox security

CIPHER Solutions focuses on reducing real risk, improving control maturity, and helping organisations make better use of the Microsoft security capability they already have.

Methodology

The CIPHER Model

A structured methodology for assessing, strengthening, and improving Microsoft security posture over time.

C
Clarify

Understand the current environment, business priorities, licensing capability, and key areas of exposure.

I
Inspect

Identify gaps across identity, access, mail, tenant, and configuration posture using a structured review approach.

P
Prioritise

Focus on the controls that reduce the most risk first, rather than chasing complexity or low-value changes.

H
Harden

Implement stronger identity, access, admin, and tenant protections aligned to Microsoft security best practice.

E
Enforce

Apply policy consistently and intentionally so controls work reliably across the environment.

R
Review

Measure progress, report clearly, and continue improving posture as business needs and risks evolve.

Transformation

From Underconfigured to Intentional

CIPHER is designed to move organisations away from weak defaults, inconsistent controls, and reactive security decision-making.

✕ Before CIPHER
  • Security Defaults used as a long-term strategy
  • Conditional Access absent or inconsistently applied
  • Permanent admin privilege and weak governance
  • Low visibility into actual Microsoft security capability
  • Security posture measured vaguely, or not at all
✓ After CIPHER
  • Identity-first security baseline aligned to business needs
  • Intentional Conditional Access and MFA strategy
  • Reduced privileged access exposure and stronger governance
  • Clearer use of existing Microsoft licensing and capability
  • Measurable posture improvement with a defined roadmap
Entry Service

CIPHER Security Snapshot

A structured assessment for organisations that need clarity, prioritisation, and a stronger starting point.

Many organisations already own strong Microsoft security capability but underuse it due to weak defaults, partial implementation, or unclear ownership. The CIPHER Security Snapshot provides a focused review of the current environment, highlights material gaps, and delivers a practical, prioritised path forward.

Snapshot focus areas include:

  • Microsoft Entra ID, MFA, and Conditional Access posture
  • Privileged access exposure and role governance review
  • Email, tenant, and baseline security configuration assessment
  • Secure Score context and improvement opportunities
  • Licensing capability review and underused feature identification
  • Executive summary with prioritised recommendations

The CIPHER Security Snapshot is best suited to organisations that want a professional starting point before moving into implementation, security uplift, or ongoing posture management.
