Strengthen Your Microsoft 365 Security
with CIS Benchmark Alignment
The Right Resource, The Right Time and The Right Price
In today’s digital landscape, organizations face ever-evolving security threats—from phishing and malware to unauthorized access and data breaches. For those using Microsoft 365, protecting data and maintaining a strong security posture is critical. At Bamboo Solutions, we offer a comprehensive Microsoft 365 Security Configuration Service that aligns your environment with the ~180 controls in the CIS (Center for Internet Security) Benchmarks. These benchmarks are recognized globally as best practices for secure configurations and allow organizations to implement proven security measures.
Why CIS Benchmarks?
The CIS Benchmarks provide a detailed, reliable set of security standards that offer configuration recommendations across cloud services like Microsoft 365. Developed by cybersecurity experts, these ~180 controls include specific, actionable steps that address vulnerabilities, safeguard data, and reinforce defense against common threats.
