Advisory & Oversight

M365 Governance Retainer

Ongoing Microsoft 365 security oversight — scoped, predictable, and actionable.

Microsoft 365 configurations drift. Conditional access policies need tuning. New employees get the wrong licenses. Auditors and insurers now expect documented evidence that your security posture is monitored, not just configured once and forgotten.

The M365 Governance Retainer is post-hardening ongoing oversight scoped strictly to your Microsoft 365 and Azure environment: Secure Score monitoring, policy tuning, monthly reviews, compliance documentation, and security questionnaire support.

After the hardening engagement, someone needs to own the drift. Monthly retainer. Microsoft 365 and Azure scope. No ambiguity.

Why Premium Cloud

A lot of advisory retainers are slide decks and monthly calls. This one is hands-on: the same engineer managing your Secure Score and Conditional Access policies is the one on the call. When something needs tuning, it gets tuned — not just recommended.

The scope is narrow by design. Microsoft 365 and Azure, nothing else. That's what keeps the engagement predictable and the price honest. Backed by Verified Microsoft Partner status you can confirm on Microsoft's site.
