The Physics Behind Microsoft 365 Security

Being a contractor with the U.S. Department of Defense, the client sought to meet their DFARS 252.204-7012, 252.204-7019, and DFARS 252.204-7020 cybersecurity requirements. The client sought to use their Microsoft 365 GCC High environment for the performance of all DoD related work while also using laptops dedicated to DoD work.

We configured the customers Microsoft 365 environment (previously only being used for email) to meet the guidelines recommended by the Center for Internet Security.
