Understand your current Microsoft 365 security posture with a structured, consultant‑led assessment. Receive prioritised recommendations, visibility into gaps, and a roadmap aligned to best practices, Secure Score, and regulatory requirements.

Reduce risk and simplify operations

We work with leading technology partners to deliver secure, scalable Cloud Security solutions that protect mission‑critical Microsoft 365 environments. Our partnerships ensure best‑in‑class controls, backup, and visibility across identity, data, and collaboration.

FAQs

Our FAQs address the most common questions around cloud security from IT leaders, transformation managers, and procurement teams.

Why do we need additional security if Microsoft 365 already has built‑in features?

Microsoft 365 provides powerful tools, but many remain disabled or misconfigured. Enabling and tuning them is essential to reduce risk, prevent credential theft, and strengthen overall security posture.

Do we really need third‑party backup for Microsoft 365?

Yes. Native retention isn’t designed for full backup or long‑term recovery. Cloud‑native backup ensures you can restore data quickly, protect against ransomware, and meet compliance requirements.

How long does a Cloud Security engagement take?

Assessments and baseline deployments are designed to be rapid, delivering immediate impact while laying a strong foundation for further security maturity.

Will this increase management burden on IT teams?

No. These services reduce complexity by streamlining controls, improving visibility, and eliminating manual processes through automation and integrated dashboards.

How does this help with compliance?

Consistent policies and retention frameworks ensure alignment with governance and regulatory requirements, supported by strong reporting and audit trails.

"boxxe Group worked with us to 'think outside the box' and take our partnership into new territory. Together, we achieved the best possible outcome for a high-profile client at the heart of government... boxxe Group saw all the challenges and solved them. This project succeeded on two fronts – providing a bespoke, advanced technical solution combined with a commercial model that suited our client precisely."

Nicky Stewart

Commercial Director

UKCloud

Verisec has for several years aided UK municipalities with secure logins and solutions. The opportunity to contribute to the University’s digitisation is a great success for us. The new agreement became a reality by the assistance of one of our British partners. We look forward to being able to attract more universities and institutions in the public sector, in both the UK and other countries, in the future.

Johan Henrikson

CEO

Verisec

The partner we chose had to be knowledgeable, utterly trustworthy and have relentless attention to detail so they could spot anything we might have missed. With boxxe Group, we’ve felt entirely confident. Without their expertise, this would have been a high-risk venture... We could have gone with bigger IT partners, but I don’t think they would have provided the engagement, services, and consistency we’ve received from boxxe Group. Our partnership has been exactly what we needed.
