Market Need
Why this matters now
Microsoft 365 Security and Identity Protection addresses a capability that organisations increasingly need but often lack in a structured, defensible form. Teams frequently rely on ad-hoc knowledge, scattered documents or vendor claims instead of a repeatable method.
This programme closes that gap. It gives participants a shared vocabulary, a practical method and a set of reusable artefacts so the organisation can operate this domain consistently rather than reactively.

Framework alignment: Microsoft 365, Entra ID and Microsoft Defender security controls.
