Executive summary
A practical operating model—not a collection of disconnected tools
A Florida environmental consulting firm needed to translate cyber-insurance requirements into controls that employees could use and that its technology team could operate. Level 4 connected Microsoft 365 identity, endpoint, monitoring, backup, and recovery into one managed program.
The challenge
What the organization needed to solve
- Strengthen identity and remote access without interrupting normal work.
- Protect Microsoft 365 information independently of the production tenant.
- Connect endpoint and identity telemetry to human monitoring and response.
- Create a second recovery path for the remaining on-premises server.
Level 4’s approach
How the work was connected
- Implemented Entra ID controls including multi-factor authentication, Conditional Access, identity monitoring, and appropriate privileged-access safeguards.
- Connected EDR telemetry to managed SOC and SIEM workflows for validation, prioritization, escalation, containment, and documentation.
- Added independent Microsoft 365 backup, security awareness, phishing protection, and MFA-protected remote access.
- Designed disaster recovery for the remaining on-premises workload and mapped operating evidence to cyber-insurance questions.
The outcome
A more accountable and supportable environment
