With our expertise in Microsoft security technologies, we can assist you in leveraging the power of Microsoft Secure Score to enhance their overall security and strengthen their defence against cyber threats.
What is Microsoft Secure Score?
Microsoft Secure Score is a powerful tool that provides a numerical representation of an organisation’s security posture within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. It assesses various security controls and configurations across multiple Microsoft services, providing valuable insights into potential vulnerabilities and areas for improvement. Austin Technology’s team of experts utilises Microsoft Secure Score as a foundation for building effective security strategies tailored to the unique needs of each organisation.

FAQs for Businesses
Most transitions finish in six to eight weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your environment. We handle the detailed work such as assessment, documentation, team training and cutover planning. The goal is a smooth changeover with minimal disruption for your staff.
We work with your timeline. Many clients start planning the move while their current contract is still in place. We can complete the assessment and build a transition plan so you are ready when the contract ends. If you want to exit early, we help you understand the risks and steps, but the decision stays with you.
Onboarding starts with a structured discovery of your systems, security and pain points. We document your environment, set up monitoring and backups, and agree on priorities for the first few months. Your team receives clear instructions on how to contact us and what to expect from support. You get a named contact and regular check ins during the early phase.
Yes. Many clients keep an internal IT person or team and use Austin Technology to extend capacity and skills. We agree clear roles so everyone knows who owns support, projects and decision making. Your internal team stays close to the business while we handle areas such as service desk, security, cloud or specialist project work.
Security is built into our services, not added at the end. We focus on strong identity controls, patching, endpoint protection, backups and user awareness. Our security work aligns with recognised frameworks such as the ACSC Essential Eight. You receive regular updates on risks, improvements and any incidents.
Serious incidents follow a clear response plan. We focus first on restoring critical systems and access so your staff can work again. Then we investigate the cause, close any gaps and support any reporting you need to do. After recovery we review the event with you and update your plans so you are better prepared next time.
Good questions include where the support team is based, how they handle security, how they store and protect your data, what their response times are and how they work with internal teams. You can also ask how they align with standards like the Essential Eight and what their onboarding process looks like. The answers should be clear, specific and easy to understand.
No. You get a named main contact, but more than one engineer knows your environment and documentation sits in our central systems. If someone is away or changes role, another team member can step in without you having to start again. This reduces key person risk and keeps support consistent.
