Cybersecurity Insights
Microsoft 365 Security Program (WaypointX)
A managed security baseline + continuous monitoring designed to prevent the common mistakes that lead to breaches, deal delays, and compliance issues.
Control coverage across a single Microsoft 365 tenant. Each cell is one enforced setting; the lit cells are the ones that moved this week.
The problem
Common mistakes we prevent
Without a managed baseline, small misconfigurations lead to big incidents.
-
01
Prevented
A former employee still has access
Offboarding was missed, leaving a ‘ghost account’ active that attackers can use to re-enter silently.
-
02
Prevented
One device gets compromised and spreads risk
Allowing unmanaged personal devices full access means one malware infection can impact your whole cloud.
-
03
Prevented
Files shared publicly by accident
Default SharePoint settings often let anyone generate “Everyone” links, exposing internal data to the web.
-
04
Prevented
No one notices suspicious logins until it’s too late
Without 24/7 monitoring, a breached account can operate for months, exfiltrating data before you notice.
Configuration drift over ninety days. The baseline is the innermost contour; every ring outward is the same tenant, later, with nobody correcting it.

Approach
Why Microsoft-first?
Less Vendor Sprawl
You already own the tools. We make them work, saving you from buying redundant security point solutions.
Better Integration
Native security tools talk to each other, reacting faster to threats than bolted-on third-party apps.
Lower Operational Risk
Simplify your stack to reduce complexity and the chance of things breaking during updates.
Evidence
Two engagements
Named on request
Under NDA
“We were failing audits due to lack of documented controls. WaypointX got us compliant in 30 days and keeps us there.”
“Stopgap tools were costing us a fortune. WaypointX consolidated our security into the Microsoft license we already owned.”
Results
Business Impact
Secure Score, ninety days, one tenant.
Eliminate Ransomware Risk

Simplified Audit & Compliance
Easily demonstrate control over sensitive data with our documented baselines for compliance audits.
Secure Hybrid Work
