[Request a Security Review](/contact)[See the Defender Suite](#security-how) The Basics ## What Is Security Reporting? Security reporting turns raw data from your Microsoft 365 environment into actionable insights. It shows you threats, compliance gaps, and risky behaviour so you can act before damage is done. ### Spot Threats Early Real-time alerts for suspicious activity mean you know about problems before they become disasters. Visibility is the first step in any security strategy. ### Stay Compliant Track your compliance score across industry frameworks and fix gaps as they appear. See exactly where you stand against standards like Essential Eight and ISO 27001. ### Protect Your Data Prevent sensitive information from leaving your organisation with automatic policies. Stop data leaks before they happen, whether accidental or intentional. Why It Matters ## You Can't Protect What You Can't See Most businesses have security tools turned on but nobody watching the dashboard. Here's what that looks like in practice. ### Flying Blind Without proper reporting, you have no idea what's happening in your Microsoft 365 environment. Threats go unnoticed, risky behaviour goes unchecked, and compliance gaps grow silently. ### Alert Fatigue Raw security logs generate thousands of events per day. Without proper filtering and prioritisation, your team either ignores alerts entirely or wastes time chasing false positives. ### Insider Risks Not all threats come from outside. Employees can accidentally share sensitive files, fall for phishing emails, or mishandle data. Without visibility, you won't catch it until it's too late. Our Approach ## The Microsoft Defender Suite Microsoft 365 includes a comprehensive set of security tools. We configure, monitor, and report on all of them so you get full value from your existing licences. 1 ### Defender for Endpoint Protect laptops and desktops from malware, ransomware, and other threats. Automatic investigation and response handles common incidents without manual intervention. 2 ### Defender for Identity Catch account compromises and suspicious sign-ins. Detect when attackers try to move laterally through your network using stolen credentials. 3 ### Defender for Cloud Apps See what cloud apps your team is using, including shadow IT. Control access to sanctioned apps and block risky ones before they become a problem. 4 ### Defender for Office 365 Block phishing emails and malware before they reach your inbox. Safe Links and Safe Attachments check every URL and file in real-time. 5 ### Data Loss Prevention Automatically detect sensitive information like credit card numbers, health records, or financial data. Policies prevent it from being shared inappropriately. 6 ### Information Protection Label and encrypt sensitive documents so protection travels with the file. Control who can access, edit, or share confidential information, even outside your organisation. ![Microsoft Solutions Partner for Modern Work](/assets/microsoft-solutions-partner-DqvNMv91.png "Microsoft Solutions Partner: Modern Work") ### Microsoft Solutions Partner Modern Work Designation StartCloud holds the Microsoft Solutions Partner designation for Modern Work, recognising our proven capability in deploying and managing Microsoft 365 security solutions for Australian businesses.
