Is Your Microsoft 365 Environment Protecting Sensitive Data or Simply Hosting It?
Microsoft 365 provides powerful security capabilities, but licences alone do not protect your organisation. Identity controls, email protection, device policies, data permissions and threat monitoring must be configured around how your people work and the information they access.
We assess your existing environment, identifies priority risks and implements connected controls across Microsoft Entra, Defender, Intune and Purview. Our Microsoft 365 Security Services help UK healthcare organisations, pharmaceutical companies and MedTech businesses protect sensitive information without unnecessary restrictions, licence costs or disruption.
43%
of UK Businesses Identified a Cyber Breach or Attack
More than four in ten UK businesses reported experiencing a cyber security breach or attack during the previous 12 months.
88%
of Affected Businesses Experienced Phishing
Among businesses that identified a breach or attack, 88% experienced phishing demonstrating the continuing importance of email and identity protection.
47%

Before adding security products or changing licences, you need a clear understanding of your current Microsoft 365 security posture.
Our Microsoft 365 Security Assessment reviews how identities, devices, email, applications and information are protected across your existing tenant. The assessment goes beyond a single security score to examine how Microsoft controls are configured and whether they reflect your operational risks.
You receive a prioritised remediation plan showing:
The result is a clear basis for deciding what to fix, what to invest in and what can be improved using the licences you already have.
Ultralink’s Microsoft 365 Security Services can address specific weaknesses or support a connected security improvement programme across your organisation.
Control who can access Microsoft 365, what they can access and under which conditions. We configure multi-factor authentication, Conditional Access, sign-in risk policies, privileged roles and guest-user controls while reviewing permissions throughout the user lifecycle.
Strengthen threat detection, investigation and response across identities, endpoints and cloud applications. We configure relevant Microsoft Defender capabilities, including Defender XDR, Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Identity and Defender for Cloud Apps, alongside alert and remediation processes.
Reduce exposure to phishing, malicious attachments, unsafe links, impersonation and domain spoofing. We strengthen email protection through Microsoft Defender for Office 365, anti-phishing and anti-malware policies, Safe Links, Safe Attachments, email authentication and investigation controls.
Protect company-owned, mobile and approved personal devices accessing Microsoft 365. We use Microsoft Intune to establish device compliance policies, endpoint security baselines, configuration profiles and mobile application protection, supported by Conditional Access for managed and unmanaged devices.
Identify sensitive information and control how it is accessed, shared, retained and used. We configure Microsoft Purview capabilities such as sensitivity labels, information classification, Data Loss Prevention, retention policies, auditing, eDiscovery and relevant insider-risk controls.
Keep your security controls effective as users, threats and organisational requirements change. Our managed support can include security posture reviews, Secure Score monitoring, policy optimisation, alert oversight, prioritised remediation and clear reporting on risks and recommended improvements.
Microsoft 365 security must protect patient and health information while allowing authorised staff to communicate and collaborate efficiently.
Priorities may include:
Pharmaceutical businesses must control access to commercially sensitive and regulated information shared across internal teams and external partners.
Priorities may include:
MedTech businesses need to protect product, quality, customer and operational information across development, supply and support activities.
Priorities may include:
Ultralink configures and documents Microsoft 365 controls that can support:
This may include identity and access controls, device security, Data Loss Prevention, retention, auditing and secure information sharing. Microsoft 365 controls can support your wider compliance programme, but technical configuration alone does not certify or guarantee organisational compliance.
Additional licences do not automatically improve security. The right decision depends on the controls you need, the users who require them and the capabilities already available within your subscriptions.
Ultralink reviews Microsoft 365 Business Premium, E3, E5 and relevant security add-ons against your identified risks. We help you understand:
Our recommendations are based on your security and operational requirements—not on selling the highest licence tier.
Choose an assessment when you need an independent view of your current configuration, security exposures, unused capabilities and remediation priorities.
Choose implementation support when gaps are already known or an assessment has identified controls that require attention. Ultralink implements the agreed Microsoft 365 security configuration across identity, email, devices and information protection.
Choose managed support when your organisation needs ongoing posture reviews, policy optimisation, reporting and remediation guidance as users, systems and threats change.
Not sure which option is appropriate? Begin with the assessment to establish the risks, priorities and most suitable next step.
Microsoft security decisions should reflect more than technical settings. They must also consider sensitive information, regulated operations, external collaboration, user access and the practical effect of stronger controls.

We help you make informed Microsoft 365 security decisions and implement controls that remain practical for the people using them.
Understand where your identities, devices, email and sensitive information may be exposed and which Microsoft 365 security controls should be addressed first. Start with an assessment and receive prioritised recommendations based on your risks, operating requirements and existing licences.
The assessment reviews identities, privileged access, MFA, Conditional Access, email security, devices, external sharing, data protection, security alerts and licensing. You receive prioritised recommendations based on identified risk.
Microsoft 365 provides extensive security and compliance capabilities, but their effectiveness depends on licensing, configuration, governance and ongoing management. Its use must form part of a wider organisational security and compliance programme.
Secure Score indicates how your configuration compares with Microsoft-recommended security actions. It is a useful assessment input, but it does not represent every operational risk or prove compliance.
Yes. Ultralink can assess and strengthen controls within your existing tenant. A migration is not normally required solely to improve its security configuration.
Not necessarily. The appropriate licence depends on your required controls, existing subscriptions and user groups. We review these requirements before recommending additional licences or add-ons.
Entra controls identities and access, Intune manages device security, Defender detects and responds to threats, and Purview protects and governs sensitive information. Connecting these capabilities creates a more consistent security model.
Relevant Microsoft 365 controls can support areas of the DSPT, including access management, device security, information protection, monitoring and evidence. Technical configuration alone, however, does not complete or guarantee DSPT compliance.
Access controls, device policies, sensitivity labels, Data Loss Prevention, secure external sharing and audit capabilities can help restrict and monitor how confidential research and intellectual property are accessed and shared.
Review existing permissions, overshared content, guest access, sensitivity labels, Data Loss Prevention and data-governance policies before deployment. Copilot should be introduced only after understanding what information each user can already access.
Yes. Ultralink can provide ongoing posture reviews, configuration optimisation, reporting and remediation support for UK healthcare organisations, pharmaceutical companies and MedTech businesses.
