The work that makes them count
Tenant hardening for Microsoft 365
Conditional Access, privileged roles, break-glass accounts and mail authentication, set up in stages with an evidence pack.
Detection and response for Microsoft 365
Defender for Business, which Business Premium includes, onboarded and tuned, with the first-hour response written down.
Backup and recovery
AvePoint set up against Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams, with one restore drill run and written up as evidence.
What is not included
The no-Teams editions
Business Premium is also sold without Teams. A no-Teams suite plus a separate Teams licence costs more, so the stack uses the edition with Teams; the other route is quoted on request.

Questions
Do we need third-party backup if we already pay for Microsoft 365?
Microsoft keeps your data available, but recovering it after a deletion, a ransomware run or a bad script is the tenant owner's job, and retention is not a backup. AvePoint keeps a separate copy of Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams that you can restore from.
Do we have to buy all three services?
No. The licences stand on their own, and each service is scoped separately. The order I recommend is hardening first, then Defender on that baseline, then a restore drill.
Do you replace our current Microsoft reseller?
Only if you want me to. The licences move to Pax8 billing at a renewal, invoiced by Michal Jatczak, sole trader registered in Malta. If you stay with your current reseller, the technical work is the same.
Why the edition with Teams?
Since 1 November 2025 Microsoft sells the Business suites with Teams in the EEA again. A no-Teams suite plus a separate Teams licence costs more, so the stack uses the edition with Teams. If you run another meeting tool, I quote the no-Teams route instead.
How does this map to DORA and NIS2 if we are regulated?
The hardening evidence pack maps each control to the ITSailor tenant baseline, NIST CSF 2.0, GDPR Article 32, DORA Article 9 and NIS2 Article 21. It records what was set and when; whether that meets your regulator is for your compliance lead to decide.
What happens when the work ends?
Nothing breaks. The configuration is in your tenant, the backup is licensed in your name, and the Exit Kit lists every access I held. If you want help after the handover, the Operate retainer covers changes and reviews by the hour.
