Microsoft 365 security assessment
A Microsoft 365 security assessment that runs every day.
A one-off audit is out of date the day a setting changes. Mito runs 400+ read-only checks against your Microsoft 365 tenant every day, ranks what it finds by severity, and shows exactly what changed since yesterday.
Why it matters
Most Microsoft 365 risks are settings, not exploits.
Microsoft 365 ships with hundreds of security settings, and the defaults are not always safe. In a small or medium business, nobody has time to review them all, and one change made to fix something urgent can quietly open a door that stays open for months.
-
Audit logging switched off
If the unified audit log is disabled, there is no record to investigate when an account is misused.
-
MFA that can be phished
SMS codes and app prompts help, but attackers now relay them in real time. Admin accounts need phishing-resistant methods.
-
Mail forwarded outside the company
Automatic forwarding to external addresses is a favourite way to leak mail after an account takeover.
-
Drift nobody notices
A Conditional Access policy disabled for a test, a new Global Admin added in a hurry. Settings change, and nobody checks again.
How it works
Three steps, then it runs itself.
-
Connect, read-only
A Global Admin runs one script (or follows the manual steps) to create a read-only app registration in your tenant, then sends us four values. It takes about ten minutes.
-
Daily assessment in the UAE

Sample report
What a first run looks like.
This sample is based on a real assessment of our own Microsoft 365 tenant, anonymised. Most organisations find a long list on day one. Mito ranks it so you know where to start, then tracks it down day by day.
