Microsoft 365 Security • Intune • Defender for Endpoint • Purview DLP • Zero Trust
I help startups, SMBs, mid-market companies, enterprises and MSPs build, secure and fix Microsoft 365 environments using Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Purview, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Windows Autopilot, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams, PowerShell and Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Whether you need tenant hardening, an Intune and Autopilot rollout, Defender for Endpoint deployment, Endpoint DLP and sensitivity labels, Conditional Access and MFA enforcement, Zero Trust design, an Exchange Online or tenant-to-tenant migration, SharePoint permissions cleanup or Copilot readiness, you get it built to Microsoft best practice: reviewed first, piloted, then rolled out in phases.
MS-102 certified (Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator Expert) with 6+ years securing and administering Microsoft 365 tenants. I currently secure and manage Microsoft 365 for [USERS] users and [DEVICES] managed devices, and every project I deliver here follows the same security, governance and documentation standards.
