M365 Security & Governance including Zero Trust

Whether you are going into full Zero Trust or just trying to understand where you are at. We can help you as you continue to transition workloads to the cloud, it is critical to implement security, controls, and governance across the Microsoft suite to be successful.  Understanding what you own and the best practices for each solution can be a difficult task.  Then you have to enable easy management and administration of each security solution.  It can be daunting, and many organizations just take a guess and hope for the best.

You don’t have to do that. We can help.

As an agency/City/county in Connecticut you are able to work with this contract (State of Connecticut Contract 19PSX0046) – this makes you eligible for a no cost 90-minute Secure Score review of your current environment.  With our experience we will work with you and your team to review where you are today, what you already own (Microsoft G3/G5 etc.) and what gaps exist to further secure your organization from bad actors.  This is especially important if you have CJIS, NIST80053, HIPPA, or other compliance obligations.

Planet Technologies has migrated over 7,000,000 users to the cloud and making sure that these migrations have exceptional security and governance is a big part of what we do.

Please reach out if there is interest and we will schedule a call to walk you through how this program works and your eligibility.
