Tenant configuration and governance
Baseline settings, administrative roles and the guardrails that keep configuration from drifting.
Service 02
Microsoft 365 that is secure, organized and understood.
Most organizations already own more Microsoft 365 capability than they use, and less security configuration than they assume. We make the tenant deliberate.

Problems we solve
What this usually looks like
If several of these sound familiar, this is the discipline that addresses them.
- 01Nobody is certain how the tenant is configured or who changed it last.
- 02Files are spread across OneDrive, Teams and email with no agreed structure.
- 03Email is being spoofed, or legitimate email is landing in junk.
- 04Licences are paid for capabilities nobody uses, while needed features stay switched off.
Expected outcomes
What changes
- A tenant configured intentionally, with the reasoning documented.
- Identity and access that follows a consistent policy rather than individual habits.
- Email authentication published correctly so your domain is harder to impersonate.
- A licensing position you can explain and defend at renewal.
What CANO does
Capabilities
Microsoft Entra and identity
Sign-in policy, multi-factor authentication and conditional access aligned to how your people actually work.
Exchange and email protection
Mail flow, protection policy, and SPF, DKIM and DMARC published and monitored.
Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive
A structure for where documents live, who can reach them and what happens when a project ends.
Migrations
Moving mail and files from an existing environment with a tested plan and a defined cutover.
Licensing review
Matching licences to real usage and to the security features you are entitled to.
How engagement works
A defined sequence
Assess
We review the current tenant, identity configuration and email authentication.
Prioritize
We agree what to change first, based on risk and disruption rather than a feature list.
Implement
Changes are made in a planned sequence with the impact explained beforehand.
Document
You receive a written record of the configuration and why it is set that way.
Good fit
This may be a good fit if…
- Your tenant grew organically and has never been formally reviewed.
- You are moving to Microsoft 365 from another platform.
- You need multi-factor authentication and conditional access done properly.
- Your domain is being spoofed, or your email deliverability is unreliable.
Boundaries
Relevant boundaries
- Microsoft licence costs are paid directly to Microsoft or your licensing provider.
- Some configuration changes require a maintenance window agreed in advance.
- Security configuration reduces risk. It does not remove the need for user awareness.
