Every ECSG engagement starts with your Microsoft 365 tenant. Here's the exact stack we manage, how we secure it end to end, and a real look at how we structure and govern SharePoint once we're in.
Your Microsoft 365 tenant is the digital headquarters of your organization — where your identities, communications, documents, devices, and security controls come together. At ECSG, we build, secure, manage, and optimize every layer of that ecosystem so your business can operate efficiently and securely.

Modern collaboration for meetings, chat, calls, and file sharing.
Cloud-based device management and endpoint security for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.
Advanced protection against phishing, malware, ransomware, and identity attacks.
Automation, reporting, and custom apps with Power Automate, Power BI & Power Apps.
Data protection, retention policies, and disaster recovery planning.
Beyond the admin console, Microsoft 365 is the day-to-day toolkit your team already touches. We make sure every app is licensed correctly, connected to the same identity and security controls, and set up the way your business actually works.

Business email, shared calendars, and scheduling — protected by the same security stack as the rest of the tenant.

The company's document libraries, intranet sites, and department hubs — governed and permission-controlled.

Personal file storage and sync for each user, scoped correctly so company data doesn't live in the wrong place.
The core productivity apps, with co-authoring, version history, and sensitivity labels configured.
Shared notebooks and lightweight collaborative pages for teams that need to move fast together.
Task and project tracking connected directly to Teams, so work doesn't get lost across tools.
Surveys, intake forms, and appointment scheduling for client-facing and internal workflows alike.
Data classification, retention, and compliance controls across every app in the tenant.
Microsoft 365 has become the backbone of daily business operations — email, collaboration, document storage, and communication all run through it. But having Microsoft 365 isn't the same as being protected. Security policies, phishing defenses, backup strategy, and access controls all require configuration and ongoing management that don't happen by default.
Whether you're managing IT internally or relying on external support, a proactive approach here significantly reduces business risk.
We start by mapping your tenant against real risk — identity, email flow, device posture, and data exposure — instead of assuming the defaults are enough.
Every account is protected with MFA and, where it fits, passwordless sign-in, closing the single most common entry point for account takeover.
Advanced filtering, safe links, and safe attachments — plus user training — to stop phishing before it becomes a business email compromise.
Independent, automated backups of Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams — with tested recovery, not just retention settings.
Role-based permissions, conditional access policies, and least-privilege access reviewed on a schedule, not left to accumulate.
Many organizations unintentionally store critical business information in personal OneDrive folders. OneDrive is an excellent productivity tool — but it was designed primarily for individual work and temporary collaboration, not for the company's permanent records.
Think of OneDrive as your personal workbench. It's where work often begins.
SharePoint is where organizational knowledge should live — documents, procedures, contracts, and business records, structured in Sites and Document Libraries.
At ECSG, we help organizations design a logical SharePoint architecture that aligns with business functions and departmental responsibilities — each with its own document libraries, security controls, and retention policies.
This is what a properly structured SharePoint deployment looks like once ECSG builds it — real screenshots from an active client environment.
Document libraries are consistently prefixed — "ECSG - Identity Center - Commercial Documents," "ECSG - Identity Center - Brand Assets," "ECSG - Identity Center - Core Legal Documents," and so on. This naming convention makes every library instantly recognizable, keeps departments organized under one predictable structure, and scales cleanly as the organization grows.
Rather than sharing individual files ad hoc, we apply Manage Access at the document library level. From this menu, ECSG controls sharing, ownership, and access for every folder inside — so permissions stay consistent and auditable instead of scattered across one-off file shares.
The Manage Access panel shows exactly who has visibility into a library and through which group. We structure every site around three SharePoint groups — Owners (full control), Members (contribute and edit), and Visitors (read-only) — so access is granted by role, reviewed easily, and never left open by default.
SharePoint automatically keeps a full version history for every document — who modified it, when, and the file size at that point in time. If a file is overwritten, corrupted, or edited incorrectly, we open the version history, select an earlier version, and restore it — recovering the exact content without touching any other file in the library.
The Guiding Principle: if the information belongs to an employee, it belongs in OneDrive. If the information belongs to the company, it belongs in SharePoint.
You don't need a server room or a technician standing by. Our entire stack deploys remotely — a single agent install brings your environment under ECSG's management from day one, no matter where your team is located.
