Context, Not Just Findings
Security tools and benchmark reports can generate hundreds of findings. The difficult part is determining which risks actually matter, what should be prioritized first, and how to remediate safely without disrupting operations.
ForgeNorth Advisory focuses on practical risk reduction, not just generating reports.
Microsoft 365 Security & Identity Review
Microsoft 365 and Entra ID configuration are assessed to identify risky accounts, roles, and policies, and deliver a prioritized plan outlining what to address first and why.
Conditional Access & MFA Hardening
Conditional Access and MFA settings are analyzed and refined to close common attack paths while keeping user impact manageable.
Most small and mid-sized organizations assume Microsoft 365 is secure by default.
In reality, many protections must be explicitly configured, and over time, environments drift due to changes, exceptions, and growth.
Understand and reduce real security risk in Microsoft 365. Work is focused, evidence-based, and built for both executives and technical teams.
Tenant Security Analysis & Risk Identification
Issues across Entra ID, Exchange Online, SharePoint, and Defender are identified that could lead to data loss or account compromise.
