Microsoft 365 Management for Northshore businesses
M365 is your operational backbone. We keep it clean, secure, and optimized.
30 minutes. No obligation. Written findings either way.
The problem
M365 misconfiguration is one of the top causes of data breaches for small businesses. Shared mailboxes with bad permissions, MFA gaps, stale accounts left active after offboarding, shadow IT in Teams: most businesses don't know what's actually in their tenant.
What we do about it
Active management of your M365 environment: security hardening against Microsoft's Secure Score benchmarks, license optimization, policy enforcement, identity management, and ongoing monitoring. We know what's in your tenant: and what shouldn't be.
What does Microsoft 365 Management include?
Everything below is covered in one agreement, documented in writing, and reviewed with you on a schedule.
Security Hardening
M365 tenant hardened against attack: Secure Score improved, legacy authentication protocols disabled, administrative access locked down and monitored.
MFA & Conditional Access
Multi-factor authentication enforced across all accounts, with Conditional Access policies that block suspicious sign-ins and limit access from unmanaged devices.
Exchange Online Management
Mailbox configuration, shared mailbox governance, distribution list management, anti-spam and anti-phishing policies, and mail flow rule administration.
SharePoint & OneDrive Governance
Permission structures, external sharing controls, and data governance policies so your files aren't accidentally shared with the wrong people.
Teams Configuration
Teams policies, guest access controls, meeting configuration, and channel governance aligned to your organization's security and compliance requirements.
License Optimization
License audit and right-sizing to ensure you're paying for what you use: and using what you pay for. Most organizations find meaningful savings in their first audit.
Identity & Access Management
Azure AD / Entra ID lifecycle management: user provisioning, group management, access reviews, and clean offboarding so departed employees lose access immediately.
Data Loss Prevention
DLP policies configured to prevent accidental or unauthorized sharing of sensitive client and business data across Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive.
How working with us starts
No sales deck, no pressure. The first conversation is useful whether or not you hire us.
A 30-minute assessment call
We talk through how your office runs today: devices, email, backups, who has access to what, and what keeps you up at night. If it helps, we review your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace settings while we talk.
Written findings and a flat-rate proposal
You get a short, plain-English summary of what we found and what we would fix first. If managed IT makes sense, the proposal is one flat monthly number with everything listed.
Onboarding without disruption
We document your environment, roll out monitoring and security in stages, and introduce your team to the help desk. Most work happens remotely; on-site visits are scheduled around your business.
Microsoft 365 Management: common questions
What does Microsoft 365 Management from Lagniappe IT include?
Microsoft 365 Management covers tenant administration, license optimization, Exchange Online and SharePoint configuration, Teams governance, conditional access, MFA enforcement, and security baseline application. Scope is set to your environment, written down, and delivered on a schedule.
How much does Microsoft 365 Management cost?
Microsoft 365 Management is normally part of a flat monthly managed IT agreement priced mainly on headcount, rather than sold by the hour. Larger one-time projects are quoted separately. We quote after a free assessment so the number reflects your actual environment.
Who is Microsoft 365 Management a good fit for?
Owner-led businesses of roughly 5 to 50 people on the Northshore of Louisiana, especially law firms, CPA firms, dental and medical practices, title companies, insurance agencies, contractors and nonprofits that hold sensitive data and cannot afford downtime.
Where do you deliver Microsoft 365 Management?
From our office in Mandeville across St. Tammany Parish (Covington, Slidell, Madisonville, Abita Springs and nearby), plus Hammond and the Greater New Orleans area. Most work is remote; on-site visits are scheduled when hands are needed.
