Important scope note

This is a preliminary, self-reported screening tool. It does not replace a full Microsoft 365 security assessment.

Built for a quick first answerUse this checker when you need a fast signal on whether obvious Microsoft 365 control gaps may be present before committing to deeper review.
Limited by designOnly 10 controls are reviewed here. Another 26 Microsoft 365 security areas still matter and are reserved for a fuller assessment.
Built to create momentumResults are shaped to help you decide whether tenant hardening, email protection, monitoring, or recovery planning deserves attention first.

What this free checker reviews

The questions focus on high-impact controls that often reveal whether baseline Microsoft 365 protection is in place or whether follow-up review is likely needed.

  • Multi-factor authentication coverage for users and administrators
  • Privileged account separation and legacy authentication exposure
  • Security defaults or Conditional Access coverage
  • External forwarding, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC posture
  • Email threat protection, alert review, and independent backup readiness

Who this is for

This checker is useful for organizations that want a practical starting point before a full review, especially when leadership needs a quick sense of whether Microsoft 365 security basics appear to be in place.

It is also useful when an IT team wants a structured way to start an internal conversation about account protection, email risk, and recovery readiness.

Frequently asked questions

What does this checker need from us?Only self-reported answers about your Microsoft 365 setup. No tenant access, screenshots, exports, or credentials are required.
How long does it take?Most organizations should be able to complete it quickly as long as the person answering has basic familiarity with the tenant.
Does a strong score mean we are secure?No. A strong score here does not prove the tenant is fully secured because this checker intentionally reviews only a limited set of controls.
