Cybersecurity assessment
A structured review of identity, email, endpoints, network and process, with findings ranked by risk.
Service 04
Practical defensive security for real business risks.
Security work that starts from how your organization actually operates, not from a generic checklist. Defensive, evidence-driven and proportionate to the risk.

Problems we solve
What this usually looks like
If several of these sound familiar, this is the discipline that addresses them.
- 01You are being asked by clients or insurers to demonstrate security controls you have never documented.
- 02Staff receive convincing phishing email and there is no agreed way to report it.
- 03Security tools were purchased but never configured or reviewed.
- 04Nobody knows what the first hour of a real incident would look like.
Expected outcomes
What changes
- A clear view of where the real exposure is, ranked rather than listed.
- Identity and email defences configured to a defensible baseline.
- A practical plan your team can actually complete.
- A known process for reporting and handling a suspected incident.
What CANO does
Capabilities
Microsoft 365 security
Reviewing and strengthening the security configuration of the platform most organizations depend on.
Identity protection
Multi-factor authentication, conditional access and administrative role separation.
Hardening
Reducing unnecessary exposure across endpoints, servers and network services.
Phishing analysis
Examining suspicious messages to establish routing, authentication results and what the message actually did.
Incident readiness
Agreeing in advance who decides, who is contacted and what is preserved.
How engagement works
A defined sequence
Scope
We agree in writing what will be examined and what is out of scope.
Assess
We review the environment and gather evidence of how it is configured.
Report
You receive ranked findings with the reasoning and the recommended action.
Strengthen
We implement the agreed improvements and confirm the result.
Good fit
This may be a good fit if…
- A client, insurer or partner is asking about your security posture.
- You depend on Microsoft 365 and have never had it reviewed.
- You have had a near miss and want to understand the exposure.
- You need a prioritized plan rather than a list of every possible control.
Boundaries
Relevant boundaries
- All work is authorized in writing before it begins.
- Security work reduces risk. No control set eliminates it.
- We do not provide legal advice, and we do not offer regulatory certification.
