Microsoft estate
From initial design to day-to-day operations, focus on the Microsoft stack you rely on and keep it tidy.
Tenant design, identity, security baselines, conditional access, MFA and device compliance that work for real users, not just a neat diagram.
Autopilot, co-management, software deployment, Windows 11 rollouts and update strategies that reduce firefighting and keep machines in a known good state.
From on-prem AD and file servers to Azure and hybrid setups. Modernise, simplify and document what you have, so you're not reliant on folklore and guesswork.
Hybrid and cloud-only Exchange, secure email flows, SPF / DKIM / DMARC, Teams and SharePoint structure that users can actually navigate.
Opinionated, vendor-aligned and grounded in lived experience, the aim is to give you a clean, well-run Microsoft estate you understand and can support.

Align with Cyber Essentials and education guidance in ways that fit your size and risk profile.
Harden privileged access, admin workflows, MFA and conditional access with clear guardrails.
Segment Wi-Fi, firewalls and VPN so staff, guests and devices stay properly isolated.
