Your Microsoft 365 Tenant Is the Heart of Your Business. We Make Sure It's Protected.

Email, files, identity, collaboration — your entire organization runs through Microsoft 365. But out of the box, it's not secured the way you think it is. AlignLayerNine hardens your tenant, monitors it around the clock, and ensures every configuration is aligned to security best practices — so your team can work without worry.

We don't replace your IT team. We make them unstoppable.

Microsoft 365 Is Powerful. But Power Without Configuration Is Risk.

If no one is actively managing your tenant security, you're running on hope.

Most organizations are using a fraction of the security capabilities built into their Microsoft 365 license. Default settings leave gaps. Permissions drift over time. And the threats targeting cloud environments — business email compromise, token theft, rogue OAuth apps, credential stuffing — are designed to exploit exactly those gaps.

We Don't Just Manage M365. We Harden It, Monitor It, and Defend It.

Tenant Hardening & Policy Standardization

We configure and enforce security policies across your entire M365 environment — Conditional Access, authentication controls, application permissions, sharing policies, and data loss prevention. Every setting is aligned to industry best practices and continuously monitored for drift. When Microsoft releases new security capabilities, we evaluate and deploy them — you don't have to chase updates.

Your tenant is configured once, enforced always, and never left to default.
Productivity Without Compromise

Security that blocks your team from working isn't security — it's a barrier. We configure M365 so the right people access the right things through the right channels, without friction. Secure collaboration, controlled sharing, protected email — all tuned so your staff stays productive and your data stays safe.

Security and productivity aren't opposites. We prove that every day.
24/7 Cloud Security Operations

Your M365 environment is monitored around the clock by a dedicated Security Operations Center. We correlate signals across email, identity, file sharing, and application activity to detect threats that single-point tools miss. When something triggers, our SOC acts — not just alerts. You get response, not noise.

A SOC that watches your cloud the way a NOC watches your network.
Configuration Visibility & Compliance Alignment

We maintain continuous visibility into your M365 security posture — tracking configuration health, policy compliance, and control alignment against frameworks like CIS Benchmarks, NIST, and HIPAA. You get clear reporting that shows where you stand and what's been done, not just a dashboard you have to interpret yourself.

You always know where you stand — and you can prove it.
Identity Threat Detection & Automated Response

Business email compromise is the fastest-growing attack vector targeting M365 environments. We monitor every sign-in, every token, and every OAuth app registration in real time using machine learning-driven detection. When an attack is identified — credential theft, session hijacking, MFA bypass — our systems isolate the compromised account, revoke attacker access, and remove everything they left behind. Malicious inbox rules, rogue apps, attacker MFA methods — all of it, remediated automatically.

Attacks are detected in minutes and contained before damage spreads.

These Are the Attacks Hitting M365 Environments Right Now

Business Email Compromise (BEC)

An attacker gains access to a legitimate email account and uses it to send fraudulent messages — requesting wire transfers, stealing data, or impersonating executives. It's the most financially damaging form of cybercrime.

Token Theft & Session Hijacking

Attackers steal authentication tokens to bypass MFA entirely. They don't need your password — they clone your session and walk right in. Traditional security tools don't catch this.

Rogue OAuth Apps

A malicious app gets authorized in your tenant — often through a phishing link — and quietly exfiltrates data, reads email, or maintains persistent access long after the initial compromise is remediated.

Credential Stuffing & Password Spray

Automated attacks test stolen credentials against your M365 login. Without proper Conditional Access policies and anomaly detection, these attacks succeed silently.
