Most business cyber incidents start with a compromised email account. We review and strengthen your Microsoft 365 security settings so attackers find it much harder to get in.
Common problems we help with
- Accounts without MFA
- Legacy sign-in methods still enabled
- Mail forwarding rules set up by attackers
- No alerts for suspicious sign-ins
How Compufix solves it
We apply a practical baseline: MFA, blocking legacy authentication, alerting, mailbox auditing and sensible sharing controls.
Why Microsoft 365 security matters for local businesses
Compromised email accounts are behind many of the incidents small businesses experience, from fake invoices sent to customers to data being quietly copied. Businesses across Chester, Cheshire and North Wales often have Microsoft 365 security features available that were never switched on. We review what you have, explain the risks in plain English and apply the protections that make the biggest difference.
What you get
Security review
A check of MFA status, administrator accounts, sign-in policies, mailbox rules and sharing settings, with prioritised findings.
Multi-factor authentication
MFA rolled out to every account with a plan for staff who need help.
Conditional access
Where your licences allow, sign-ins restricted by device, location or risk.
Email authentication
SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured to reduce spoofing of your domain.

Microsoft 365 Security FAQs
Does this guarantee we will not be hacked?
No provider can guarantee that. These controls significantly reduce common risks.
Isn't Microsoft 365 secure by default?
Microsoft provides strong security tools, but many are not fully enabled or configured for your business by default. Responsibility for account security and data protection sits with you.
Which Microsoft 365 licence do we need for better security?
Some features, such as conditional access and Intune, require Business Premium or add-ons. We will explain what your current licences include before recommending any change.
What happens if an account has already been compromised?
Contact us straight away. We can help secure the account, check for malicious mailbox rules and advise on next steps.
