Secure & Manage 365
Managed security for Microsoft 365 with a focus on identity, devices, data, and incident response
Reduce risk, strengthen compliance, and accelerate response times in Microsoft 365 with a specialized managed service
Secure & Manage 365 helps CIOs, CISOs, and IT leaders turn Microsoft 365 into a governed platform, rather than a fragmented attack surface. We integrate identity governance, endpoint protection, data loss prevention, data privacy, and continuous monitoring to translate security into operational continuity, control, and resilience.
Risks in Microsoft 365 Are Already Impacting Business, Business Continuity, and Compliance
2,716 attacks per week
Latin America averaged 2,716 cyberattacks per week per organization in the first half of 2025.
62% of malicious files arrive via email
Email remains one of the main attack vectors in the region.
Microsoft is one of the most frequently impersonated brands
Digital identity and email are now among the primary targets for attacks.
US$2.76 million due to a data breach in Latin America
The average cost of a data breach in the region already represents a serious financial impact.
The problem isn't having Microsoft 365. The problem is operating it without ongoing governance.
When identity, email, endpoints, devices, data, and monitoring are managed separately, the result is predictable: greater exposure, more time spent investigating, a heavier operational burden, and less ability to demonstrate compliance. In many Microsoft 365 environments, signals are scattered, policies are not aligned, and responses are delayed.
Identities Exposed
Weak access controls, excessive privileges, inconsistent authentication, and poorly managed conditional access policies leave the door open to credential abuse.
Endpoints Out of Control
Corporate computers and mobile devices that lack consistent compliance, enforcement, and continuous monitoring increase the attack surface.
Sensitive Data Without Real Protection
Collaboration is growing faster than controls. Without classification, DLP, auditing, and data privacy, regulatory and operational risk escalates.
Reactive SecOps
Isolated alerts, too much noise, and a lack of correlation between identity, endpoints, and data make it difficult to investigate and contain incidents quickly.
Technical risk ultimately impacts EBITDA
Exposure in Microsoft 365 isn’t just about security incidents. It also leads to disruptions, operational overload, strain on the IT team, regulatory pressure, and remediation costs. When an organization fails to detect and contain the issue in a timely manner, the problem ceases to be technical and becomes financial:
Reducing exposure and accelerating containment helps prevent direct losses, fines, and corrective expenses.
A faster response minimizes the impact on the business, users, and critical operations.
Traceability, data governance, and operational evidence strengthen audits and regulatory requirements.
Automation, unified policies, and improved visibility reduce the manual workload for the in-house team.

Purview + DLP. Data Protection and Privacy
We classify information, prevent data leaks, enable auditing, and strengthen document and regulatory governance.
Sentinel. Security Visibility and Operations
We consolidate monitoring, correlation, rules, automation, and playbooks to strengthen SecOps.
Intune. Device Management and Compliance
We manage MDM, secure configurations, security posture, and compliance on corporate and mobile devices.
Managed service. Continuous operation on Microsoft 365
Monitoring, tuning, governance, executive reporting, follow-up, and knowledge transfer.
Results That Really Matter to Management
360° Visibility
Correlation between identity, email, endpoints, collaboration, and data to conduct more context-rich research and make decisions more quickly.
Less exposed surface area
Access controls, device hardening, and compliance measures to reduce exposure in accounts, devices, and BYOD.
Enforceable Compliance
Tagging, DLP, auditing, and eDiscovery to provide evidence in compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements.
Faster response
Unified investigation and automation to contain incidents before they escalate.
How do we deliver value?
Technology enables; real value emerges when that visibility translates into priorities, governance, and action. That’s where Pulse comes in.
Assessment and Diagnosis
We analyze identity, endpoints, collaboration, data, and alerts to identify quick wins and define a prioritized roadmap.
Strategic Implementation
We roll out the system in phases, configure security baselines, access policies, data governance, and automation.
Operation and Optimization
We monitor, refine policies, adjust alerts, create dashboards, and provide ongoing support.
Knowledge Transfer
We train internal teams to build capacity and establish a more sustainable operating model.
Success Story
Insurance company with more than 2,000 employees
We set up a Citrix VDI- and Microsoft 365-based work environment for an insurance company with more than 2,000 employees, integrating use-case automation SecOps and an adoption plan for the platform. The result was greater collaboration, increased productivity, and a significant improvement in response time to ransomware.
Key Findings
- +2,000 authorized employees
- 70% of users are collaborating in Microsoft 365
- +40% in reported productivity
Respond to ransomware in minutes, not hours

FAQs
Does Secure & Manage 365 replace my in-house team?
No. It strengthens it. The service adds specialized capacity for hardening, monitoring, governance, and continuous improvement, while your team retains control and visibility.
Can we start with just "Identity" or "Defender"?
Yes. The post can focus on Entra ID, Intune, Defender, DLP, or Sentinel, depending on business priorities and the current level of exposure.
Does this help with auditing and compliance?
Yes. The combination of Purview, DLP, auditing, tagging, and eDiscovery helps generate evidence, traceability, and more defensible governance.
Why aren't Microsoft 365 licenses enough?
Because the license doesn’t work on its own. Without configuration, hardening, operation, and continuous monitoring, the vulnerability remains.
What results can I expect in the first phase?
Greater visibility, quick wins in identity and endpoint, priority policies, reduction of obvious exposure, and a roadmap aligned with the business.
How is it financially justified?
Lower risk of disruption, lower likelihood of data breaches, better operational response, less burden on IT, and a stronger compliance posture.
