Start from the requirement, not the product.
Compliance work begins with the obligation: a CMMC level in a defense contract, HIPAA safeguards for health information, a cyber-insurance or customer security questionnaire. Identify the framework, the data it covers, where that data lives and which people and devices touch it. That scope decides what your Microsoft 365 environment must do — and what it does not need.
Map the framework to your Microsoft 365 environment.
Microsoft 365 capabilities line up with common control families: identity and access through Microsoft Entra ID and multifactor authentication, device management through Microsoft Intune, threat protection through Microsoft Defender, and information protection, audit and retention through Microsoft Purview. The review identifies which capabilities your current licenses already include, which need an add-on or plan change, and which questions — such as government cloud eligibility or data-residency requirements — must be confirmed before any purchase.
Configure with the assessment in mind.
A scoped engagement can cover security baselines, Conditional Access policies, device compliance rules, encryption settings, audit logging and retention configuration — implemented pilot-first, with each setting recorded as it is applied. The deliverable is a configured environment plus documentation an assessor or auditor can follow, not a binder of generic policy templates.
Be clear about what a project does and does not do.
Configuration work prepares an environment; it is not a certification, an audit, or a legal determination of compliance. Certifications and attestations come from the designated assessors and auditors for each framework, and obligations such as a HIPAA risk analysis belong to the covered organization. BedriSystems helps you arrive at that assessment with the technical controls in place and the evidence organized.
Bring your requirement to a scoped conversation.
Tell us the framework and level, the contract or deadline behind it, your user and device counts, and the Microsoft 365 licenses you hold today. From there we can scope a readiness review: current-state findings, a licensing position, a prioritized configuration plan and the documentation approach for your assessment.
What we can help you scope.
- Compliance scope and data-flow discovery
- Microsoft 365 licensing review for security and compliance capabilities
- Security baseline, Conditional Access and device-compliance planning
- Configuration documentation to support your assessment or audit
Services are scoped and quoted separately from Microsoft licenses. Coverage, deliverables, and timelines are agreed for your engagement.
