The decision gap

A score can point to settings. It cannot set your priorities.

Microsoft Secure Score and configuration tools are useful signals. They do not determine which gaps create material risk in your environment, which recommendations apply to your licenses and operating model, or what your team can change safely.

TenantShield adds the missing judgment: evidence validation, business context, implementation dependencies, and a sequence your team can actually follow.

What TenantShield reviews

The Microsoft cloud control plane, reviewed as one environment.

How it works

Assessment first. Implementation only when you choose it.

The initial product is a defined Microsoft 365 Security Assessment. Remediation and ongoing assurance remain separate decisions.

Privileged accounts are not consistently protected with phishing-resistant authentication

Risk
A compromised administrator could provide broad access to Microsoft 365 resources and security controls.
Evidence
Illustrative review of privileged role assignments, authentication methods, and Conditional Access policy coverage identified inconsistent enforcement.
Recommended action
Require stronger authentication controls for privileged identities, preserve tested emergency access, and validate policy coverage before enforcement.

Why TenantShield

Specialist judgment without the giant consulting engagement.

Microsoft specialization

The work stays focused on Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Intune, Conditional Access, Microsoft Defender, Exchange Online, and Microsoft 365 collaboration controls.

Independent recommendations

The assessment stands on its own. There is no software-reseller agenda, and implementation is separately scoped.

Founder-led review

Jason Soto remains involved from scope through evidence review, prioritization, reporting, and stakeholder readout.

Analyst validation

Automated checks identify potential gaps. Human review determines which findings are supported and meaningful in context.

Practical remediation

Recommendations account for dependencies, disruption risk, ownership, and the sequence required to make changes safely.

Controlled evidence

The evidence plan is defined before access. Collection is read-only for assessment work, with boundaries documented in advance.

Common questions

What buyers usually want to know first.

Is this the same as Microsoft Secure Score?

No. Secure Score is one useful signal. The professional assessment validates evidence, considers your operating context and licenses, and prioritizes action based on risk, dependencies, and effort.

Does the assessment include remediation?

No. The assessment produces findings and a prioritized roadmap. Implementation support is optional and separately scoped so the assessment remains an independent deliverable.

What access does TenantShield need?

The evidence plan is confirmed before work starts. Assessment collection is read-only; exact permissions depend on the agreed scope. No tenant access is needed for the initial scope conversation.

What does the “400+ control library” mean?

The assessment library contains more than 400 checks across Microsoft 365 security domains. The applicable subset is selected for your licensed services and agreed scope; irrelevant controls are not counted as findings.

Can we review a deliverable before contacting you?

Yes. The sample assessment shows the executive and technical structure and clearly separates public incident context from fictional example findings.
