It was great co-presenting to the IT Association of NZ with Daniel Lechner-Page on using CIPP to manage Microsoft 365 tenants.
CIPP (CyberDrain Improved Partner Portal) is the tool we use to manage every client’s Microsoft 365 environment from one place. There are so many useful features, but the one we’re most excited about is standards — security settings we define once and apply across all our customers, with drift monitoring to enforce them.
Why standards matter
If a setting gets changed — by accident, by a well-meaning staff member, or by an attacker — drift monitoring catches it and puts it back. Security isn’t a one-off setup; it’s a state you hold.
Having these standards in place has meant we’ve been able to lift all our clients over a 70% Microsoft Secure Score.
If your IT provider can’t tell you what standard your Microsoft 365 tenant is held to, that’s a question worth asking. See how we manage M365 — and meet our cloud IT team.
