Microsoft 365 Security

Aavex provides co-managed Microsoft 365 security configuration management — helping small and midsize businesses harden, monitor, and govern the native Microsoft security controls in their tenant, without having to build a security team to do it.

Microsoft 365 Ships With Real Security Tools. Most Businesses Use a Fraction of Them.

Microsoft 365 Business Premium includes serious security capability — Conditional Access, Defender for Office 365, Intune, Entra ID. The tools are there. What’s usually missing is the ongoing configuration, tuning, and governance it takes to make them work the way they’re designed to.

Aavex fills that gap as a co-managed partner. You keep your licensing and the decisions that matter to your business. We take ownership of building, hardening, and maintaining your Microsoft 365 security configuration — so your tenant is doing the job you’re already paying it to do.

Co-Managed Microsoft 365 Security Configuration Management

As your Microsoft 365 security partner, Aavex establishes, hardens, and monitors the native security controls available at your licensed service level — identity and access, email and collaboration, endpoint policy, and the logging behind all of it. We handle the ongoing configuration work; you retain ownership of the tenant and the decisions that affect your business.

Why Choose Aavex

Locking down a Microsoft 365 tenant isn’t a one-time project — it’s ongoing work that most internal IT teams don’t have the bandwidth to own alongside everything else on their plate. Aavex brings that ownership without asking you to rip out what you’ve already licensed or hand over control of your tenant.

No New Platform to Learn

Runs entirely on the Microsoft 365 licensing you already have. No migration, no new vendor stack, no retraining your team.

You Keep the Controls

Aavex configures and maintains the tenant; you retain ownership of the account, the licensing, and the decisions that matter.

Documented, Not Assumed

Every baseline is written down and mapped to the CIS Microsoft 365 Benchmarks where applicable.

Built for Enforced Access

Conditional Access, MFA, and privileged role reviews are designed around your real usage patterns and application dependencies.
