Protect Your Cloud Apps and Data With Cloud Cybersecurity Services

Microsoft secures its data centers, its servers and the Microsoft 365 platform itself. Each business is responsible for setting up its own account securely, deciding who has access, controlling how files are shared and keeping its own backups. This is often called the shared responsibility model, and every major cloud provider works this way. Many cloud security problems come from settings the business controls, not from a failure at Microsoft.

Microsoft keeps its service running, but that isn't the same as a full backup of your data. Deleted items can only be recovered for a limited time, and if files are deleted or encrypted by ransomware and the change syncs, every copy is affected. A separate backup lets you restore email, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams data from before the problem. Microsoft 365 account backup is included in every BCA plan.

Most of our clients run on Microsoft 365 and Azure, so that's where most of the work happens. BCA also reviews the other SaaS apps connected to your accounts, such as accounting, CRM or file-sharing tools, and the access they've been given. Tell us which platforms your business relies on and we'll confirm how we can cover them.

It's a setting that leaves cloud data more exposed than intended, such as file sharing open to anyone with a link, old admin accounts still active, older sign-in methods that skip MFA or Azure storage reachable from the internet. Cloud services change often and new features don't always arrive with safe defaults, so settings need regular review, not a one-time setup.

Yes, in a way that suits how you work. External sharing can be limited to named people or turned off for certain sites, and data protection rules can warn or block someone who tries to send information like account numbers or health records outside the business. The aim is to stop mistakes without getting in the way of legitimate sharing with clients and partners.

Connected apps are third-party tools your team has allowed into Microsoft 365 or other accounts, such as a scheduling tool, an email add-in or an AI assistant. Some ask for broad access, like reading every mailbox or file, and attackers use fake apps to get the same access without needing a password. BCA reviews which apps are connected, removes the ones nobody uses and limits who can approve new ones.

Insurers now ask detailed questions about MFA, admin accounts, backups and email settings in Microsoft 365. Having those set up properly, with records to show it, makes applications and renewals easier to complete. BCA can help you answer the cloud questions on your application.
