Solution

Assess, assign, and track Microsoft 365 security baselines in one operating view.

Run a repeatable Microsoft 365 tenant security assessment, pin overlay baselines, and keep Secure Score, Copilot readiness, Zero Trust coverage, and drift visible between reviews. Built for IT leaders, Microsoft admins, security leads, and MSPs who need conformity evidence without rebuilding it each audit cycle.

4 frameworks

Microsoft Security Baselines, CISA SCuBA, NSA CISS, Zero Trust

Drift-tracked

between assessments, not rebuilt each audit cycle

One pack

of conformity evidence for governance, audit, and MSP customer reviews

Security and conformity diagram: tenant posture assessed across Secure Score, Zero Trust pillars, baseline conformity, and overlay coverage (CISA SCuBA / NSA CISS), flowing into drift detection and producing a remediation proposal and pinned baseline.

The problem

Conformity work stays fragmented because the evidence never sits in one place.

Secure Score, Copilot readiness, Zero Trust pillar coverage, and overlay conformity against Microsoft Security Baselines, CISA SCuBA, and NSA CISS are spread across separate admin centres, exports, and spreadsheets. Users and groups, risky identities, and offboarding work sit in another pane again. Teams struggle to prove conformity, and drift between assessment and remediation is rarely visible before an audit, an incident, or a customer review.

Admin surfaces are fragmented

Entra, Intune, Defender, Purview, and the Microsoft 365 admin centre each hold part of the posture picture, so no single pane shows how the tenant stands against published baselines.

Conformity is run in spreadsheets

Teams rebuild the same baseline mappings, Secure Score exports, and Zero Trust scoring in spreadsheets every review, so evidence is slow to produce and hard to trust.

Security and operations use different evidence

Security teams report against frameworks while operations teams act on tickets, so remediation decisions drift away from the same baseline both sides are meant to share.

What changes

Outcome blocks

Tenant security baseline

Run a repeatable Microsoft 365 tenant assessment against Microsoft Security Baselines, CISA SCuBA, NSA CISS, and product-level overlays for Edge, Microsoft 365 Apps, Windows 11, Windows 10, and Windows 365.

Zero Trust and Copilot coverage

Score Zero Trust pillars, track Secure Score over time, and check Copilot readiness before rollout so posture work happens before deployment, not after.

Owner-backed remediation and reporting

Turn assessment findings, overlay gaps, and risky identities into named actions with evidence that holds up in governance reviews, audits, and MSP customer reports.

The conformity view

Baselines, overlays, and drift in one operating record.

Tenant posture scored across Secure Score, Zero Trust pillars, baseline conformity, and overlay coverage (CISA SCuBA / NSA CISS), flowing into drift detection and on to a remediation proposal and pinned baseline.

  • Move baseline evidence into remediation planning.

How we deliver it

Product mapping

This route is led by EtherInsights for tenant assessment, overlay catalogue coverage, Secure Score and Copilot readiness tracking, Zero Trust pillar scoring, users and groups management, risky identities, offboarding control, and drift detection against the pinned baseline. The same evidence supports governance reporting, MSP customer conversations, and remediation planning.

EtherInsights started as the cost management platform for Microsoft 365 and Azure. It shows where spend is going, which owners need to act, and how to turn waste into savings. It now extends that operating view into full Windows 365 lifecycle support, plus tenant, user, security, device, and Intune reporting.

Where this fits

  • Assigning Microsoft Security Baselines, CISA SCuBA, and Zero Trust overlays to a tenant and tracking conformity against each one.
  • Checking Copilot readiness across identity, data, and device posture before a Microsoft 365 Copilot rollout.
  • Producing monthly or quarterly conformity reports for MSP customer reviews without rebuilding the evidence each cycle.
  • Controlling risky identities, users and groups changes, and offboarding with clearer audit evidence.
  • Preparing auditor-ready conformity evidence against published Microsoft and third-party security baselines.

Start here

Move from fragmented admin centres to a repeatable Microsoft 365 security baseline.

Start with a focused Microsoft 365 security assessment, pin the overlay baselines that matter, and keep Secure Score, Zero Trust coverage, and drift visible between reviews.

  • Tenant posture, overlay conformity, and Zero Trust scoring visible in one operating view rather than across separate admin centres.
  • Faster translation from assessment findings into owner-led remediation, with drift detection between reviews.
  • Consistent conformity evidence for internal governance, audit preparation, and MSP customer reporting cycles.
