After the assessment
Office 365 security monitoring, after the assessment
An assessment tells you the tenant is configured well today. Monitoring is how you know it stays that way at 3am: sign-ins, mailbox rules, privilege changes and data movement watched continuously by the CyPro SOC, with humans responding to what matters.
Watched continuously
What 24/7 tenant monitoring looks for
The four signal families that surface real Microsoft 365 incidents, triaged by analysts rather than dashboards.
Sign-in anomalies
Impossible travel, unfamiliar locations, password-spray patterns and token anomalies across every account, around the clock.
Mailbox manipulation
New forwarding rules, delegate changes and inbox rules that hide replies: the fingerprints of business email compromise, caught as they are created.
Privilege changes
Role assignments, new app consents and permission grants, because attackers escalate quietly and admins make mistakes loudly.
Data movement
Unusual download volumes, mass sharing changes and exfiltration patterns across SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams.
How it fits together
Assess here. Monitor with the CyPro SOC.
This site's job is the assessment: the expert pass that hardens your tenant and proves your logging captures what matters. Continuous monitoring is a different discipline with different economics, and CyPro runs it as a dedicated service: the 24/7 SOC, with published per-endpoint pricing of its own.
Because both services are CyPro, the handoff is real rather than a referral: the consultant who assessed your tenant briefs the SOC that watches it, and the findings become detections. Start with the assessment; add monitoring when continuous coverage is the right spend.
Quick answers
Monitoring questions, answered
Does Office 365 monitor user activity by itself?
Microsoft 365 records activity in its audit logs and raises some alerts, but recording is not monitoring: out of the box, nobody is reading the signals or acting on them, and log retention on standard licences is short. Monitoring means a human-staffed service watching those signals continuously and responding when one matters.
Who actually delivers the 24/7 monitoring?
The CyPro SOC: the same UK team behind this assessment service, operating around the clock under the 24/7 SOC brand. Your tenant's signals flow into their platform, analysts triage every alert, and genuine incidents are contained with response actions agreed at onboarding.
Do we need an assessment before monitoring?
It is strongly advisable. Monitoring a misconfigured tenant means alerting on symptoms of problems an assessment would simply remove, and the assessment also confirms your audit logging actually captures what monitoring needs. Assessment first, fixes second, monitoring as the ongoing state.
What does outsourced Microsoft 365 security look like in practice?
Typically the pattern on this page: an expert assessment to establish a hardened baseline, remediation with your team or ours, an annual review to catch drift, and 24/7 monitoring in between. Each piece is priced separately and published, so the whole arrangement is legible before you commit to any of it.
