Trust is integral to your organisation’s success. It takes years to build, but can be lost overnight.
That’s why we work to minimise cyber risk.
Assessments
Effective security starts with visibility
-
We assess your Microsoft 365 environment across 250+ security controls and configuration settings, identifying gaps, misconfigurations and opportunities to strengthen your security posture.
We look beyond the headline security score to examine how key Microsoft 365 capabilities are configured across identity, access, devices, email, data protection and threat protection.
The aim is to help you get more value from the Microsoft licences and security capabilities you already own, improving your security without automatically adding more tools or cost.
The result is a clear, prioritised view of what’s working, what needs attention and where changes can deliver the greatest reduction in cyber risk.

Cyber security is not “set and forget.” Your Microsoft 365 environment is constantly changing — new features are introduced, configurations change, users and devices are added, and new risks emerge.
Enter Wire8Shield M365 - an ongoing review service that regularly assesses your Microsoft 365 security settings, reports on what has changed and recommends the actions needed to maintain your security posture. For example, as AI Agents become more widely adopted, we can help you understand the security implications, assess how they are configured and ensure they don’t introduce new risks across your environment.
The goal is to keep your Microsoft 365 security settings effective as your business and the technology evolve — and continue getting the most from the capabilities you already own.

The ASD Essential Eight and CIS Controls provide proven frameworks for minimising cyber risk. They help your organisation focus on the controls that deliver the greatest reduction in security risk, and we guide your journey.
We start by understanding your business context, IT environment, existing security controls and areas of exposure. This provides the context needed to distinguish between what is working, what needs attention and what should be prioritised.
The Essential Eight provides a strong foundation for protecting against common cyber threats, while the CIS Controls cover a broader range of technical and operational controls. We help you determine which approach is appropriate for your organisation and current level of maturity.
Our Assessments combine technical analysis with focused interviews to build an accurate picture quickly and with minimal disruption. We assess both the technical controls in place and the processes that support them.
Our specialists interpret the findings and turn them into practical advice, giving you a clear view of your current maturity, the most important gaps and the actions that will have the greatest impact on minimising cyber risk.
Implementation
We can implement the following technologies to help minimise your cyber risk
-
We help you implement Microsoft 365 security properly from the start, making sure you get the full value from the capabilities you already have. This may be following an upgrade to Microsoft 365 Business Premium or E5, adding security capabilities through additional licences, or simply recognising that your existing Microsoft 365 security configuration has never been properly established.
We work with you to design and implement the right security settings across identity, access, devices, email, data and threat protection, getting it right first time rather than adding security in piecemeal over time.
Where you’re starting from scratch, we can take a comprehensive approach and put the foundations in place across the entire environment.

We recommend and implement the Sophos Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Service
Sophos MDR reduces cyber risk by combining 24/7 human and AI-led threat monitoring with endpoint and network telemetry to detect, investigate, and respond to threats in near real-time.
Sophos MDR actively looks for suspicious behaviour across endpoints, identities, email, and cloud workloads, instead of relying only on prevention tools. When threats are identified, Sophos analysts validate and respond - often isolating devices, blocking activity, or guiding containment actions on behalf of the customer.
In addition to EDR tools (most likely Sophos or Microsoft Defender), ingests telemetry from Firewalls, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, email security platforms, and other tools that you own. By consolidating signals into a single operational view, we enable faster identification of threats, better context for investigation, and more effective response to cyber incidents.
This reduces cyber risk in three practical ways: it shortens the time between compromise and detection, reduces the likelihood that skilled attackers can operate undetected, and provides access to specialist security expertise without needing a fully staffed in-house SOC.
Consulting
We provide clear and actionable advice based on years of experience in IT
-
We help organisations understand and improve their cyber security posture through practical planning and advice. This starts with building a clear view of current risk, existing controls, and areas of exposure. From there, we work with you to prioritise what matters most, develop a realistic and achievable improvement plan, and guide the uplift of capability over time.
The focus should always be on practical action that turns cyber security from concepts and frameworks into clear steps that reduce real-world cyber risk.
-
We assist organisations in developing clear, meaningful cyber risk reporting for senior management and Boards. Our focus is on translating technical security information into a business risk narrative that supports informed decision-making. This includes highlighting material risks, control effectiveness, and areas of exposure in a way that aligns with governance and accountability expectations.
The result is reporting that moves beyond operational detail and provides leadership with a clear understanding of cyber risk and what is being done to manage it.
-
We support organisations in completing cyber insurance questionnaires with accuracy, consistency, and a clear understanding of their security posture. These assessments often require detailed information about technical controls, processes, and governance practices. We help interpret these requirements, validate responses against actual environment configuration, and ensure answers accurately reflect current security maturity.
This reduces the risk of misrepresentation, improves alignment with insurer expectations, and strengthens the organisation’s overall insurance position.
The result is improved visibility, faster vulnerability response, and a more consistent approach to reducing cyber risk across the organisation.
