Cyber Resilience Uplift
Enterprise-grade Microsoft security, fully managed for your business.
Reflective IT's Cyber Resilience Uplift introduces Microsoft 365 Defender Suite, Sentinel SIEM and Cisco Umbrella onto your existing Microsoft 365 tenant — enterprise-grade protection and Cyber Essentials alignment, consolidated onto a single managed platform.
Enterprise-grade Microsoft security, centralised threat detection, and Cyber Essentials alignment — delivered as a fully managed uplift for your business.
MFA, managed antivirus and Conditional Access are now baseline requirements for most cyber insurers and Cyber Essentials certification. Reflective IT handles every stage of the uplift, from licence and policy configuration through to full Sentinel and Umbrella onboarding, so your team doesn't have to navigate the detail alone.
- Enforce MFA and Conditional Access across your entire Microsoft 365 tenant.
- Deploy Microsoft Defender Suite for endpoint, email and ransomware protection.
- Onboard Microsoft Sentinel SIEM for centralised log aggregation and alerting.
- Add Cisco Umbrella for DNS-layer web filtering and gateway protection.
- Harden DMARC, DKIM and SPF to stop email spoofing at source.
- Achieve Cyber Essentials alignment across your entire security estate.
Your security estate needs an uplift, even if you haven't been attacked yet
Reflective IT helps you close the gaps that leave organisations exposed to cyber insurance and Cyber Essentials failures:
- Gaps in MFA, managed antivirus or Conditional Access can invalidate cyber insurance cover and Cyber Essentials certification.
- Legacy authentication remains one of the most common ways compromised accounts are accessed from outside the UK.
- Devices without Intune MDM policy enforcement leave remote workers unmanaged and non-compliant.
- Ad-hoc third-party antivirus tools leave gaps in ransomware detection and anti-phishing coverage.
- Sensitive data without Purview labels or DLP policies is exposed to accidental or malicious leakage.
- Without centralised SIEM logging, suspicious activity can go undetected for months.
What's included in Cyber Resilience Uplift
Reflective IT delivers a complete, end-to-end security uplift tailored to your organisation:
Microsoft 365 Business Premium
Foundation layer providing MFA enforcement, Conditional Access, Intune MDM/MAM, sensitivity labels, and modern authentication with legacy auth fully blocked.
Microsoft Defender Suite
Defender for Endpoint delivers behavioural ransomware detection, endpoint isolation and automated remediation. Defender for Office 365 adds Safe Links, Safe Attachments and anti-phishing AI — replacing all third-party AV.
Microsoft Sentinel SIEM
Centralised log aggregation across M365, identity and endpoints. Real-time alerting, threat hunting, forensic investigation and long-term retention for regulatory audit and cyber insurance evidence.
Cisco Umbrella — DNS Defence
DNS-layer web filtering blocks malicious domains before they reach devices, stopping phishing URLs, drive-by downloads and risky web categories at the network level.
DMARC, DKIM & SPF Hardening
Email authentication prevents attackers from impersonating your domain. Cryptographic signing and DMARC enforcement stop spoofed emails at source.
Device Patching & Monitoring
Automated OS and application patching, AV/EDR health monitoring, and monthly Secure Score reporting to track ongoing security posture improvement.
Cyber Resilience Uplift supports your compliance obligations
Whether you're pursuing Cyber Essentials, maintaining ISO 27001, or reducing cyber insurance risk, this uplift addresses the five Cyber Essentials control themes directly:
- Secure configuration - hardened Microsoft 365 tenant settings replace risky defaults across every device and account.
- Malware protection - Microsoft Defender Suite delivers consolidated, centrally managed antivirus and EDR.
- Patch management - RMM and Intune keep operating systems and applications automatically up to date.
- Access control - MFA and Conditional Access ensure only authorised users can reach your systems.
- Firewalls & gateway protection - Cisco Umbrella blocks malicious domains at the DNS layer before they reach devices.
Customer benefits
Partnering with Reflective IT for your Cyber Resilience Uplift means you benefit from:
Cyber insurance & compliance readiness
MFA, managed AV and Conditional Access meet the baseline controls insurers and Cyber Essentials assessors look for, reducing the risk of invalidated cover.
Stronger identity protection
Conditional Access and geo-blocking prevent compromised accounts from being used outside the UK, with legacy authentication fully blocked.
Enterprise-grade endpoint protection
Microsoft Defender Suite replaces ad-hoc third-party antivirus with a single, centrally managed platform covering EDR and anti-phishing.
Centralised threat visibility
Microsoft Sentinel SIEM aggregates logs across M365, identity and endpoints, giving you real-time alerting and forensic-ready audit evidence.
Fully managed — zero internal overhead
Reflective IT handles licence uplift, Defender deployment, Sentinel and Umbrella onboarding, and Cyber Essentials submission support, so your team doesn't have to.
