Microsoft 365 offers a comprehensive suite of productivity tools that deliver numerous business benefits, enhancing efficiency, collaboration, and communication. One key advantage is the flexibility it provides, allowing your team to access familiar Office applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint from anywhere with an internet connection. This cloud-based platform ensures seamless collaboration through real-time co-authoring and file sharing, facilitating teamwork regardless of locations.  Microsoft 365's robust security features safeguard sensitive data, and regular updates ensure that businesses always have access to the latest software innovations.  However, this is where 90%+ of businesses stop - They only use the standard apps, technology and tools and don't leverage the 365 licencing to its full potential.  On top of this, a large number of businesses only configure the basic security settings 'out of the box' putting their data, teams and business at risk. The 'labdesk MS 365 accelerator' is a suite of products to help you get more from your Microsoft investment, bolster security and accelerate business growth. [HOW SECURE IS YOUR 365? Take the FREE scorecard](https://www.labdesk.online/365) [FREE MS365 SECURITY CHECKLIST](https://labdesk.co.uk/free-office365-security-checklist?hsLang=en-gb) ### Why Microsoft 365?  - **Cost-Efficiency:** Cloud technology reduces the need for purchasing expensive hardware and software, and reduces maintenance and upgrade costs moving the expense from CAPEX to OPEX. - **Scalability:** Resources can be scaled up or down based on the business demand, ensuring that you only pay for what you use. - **Collaboration Efficiency:** Cloud-based workflows and file sharing apps help teams collaborate more effectively and get real-time updates. - **Business Continuity:** With data stored in the cloud, it's easier to recover from a data breach or disaster, ensuring business continuity. - **Flexibility and Mobility:** Teams can work from anywhere, anytime as long as they have internet access, offering greater control for your business whilst offering flexibility to your teams. ![365](https://labdesk.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/365.png?width=946&height=613&name=365.png "365") --- ### **What are the risks of not leveraging the core MS365 features and security?** - **Security Vulnerabilities:** Incomplete implementation of security features may leave vulnerable to cyber threats. For example, not using Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) or other security measures could increase the risk of malware and phishing attacks. - **Data Loss and Leakage:** Failure to implement data protection features, such as Data Loss Prevention (DLP), may expose the business to the risk of sensitive data being unintentionally shared or leaked, leading to regulatory compliance issues and reputational damage. - **Identity and Access Risks :** Inadequate implementation of identity and access management features, like Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) or Conditional Access, could result in unauthorised access to sensitive information and compromise user accounts. Lack of MS365 policy or poor policy management is often a leading cause of access risk. - **Collaboration and Productivity impact:** Businesses may miss out on the full potential of collaboration and productivity if they do not fully implement key MS 365 features. This can impact communication, collaboration, and cause overall in-efficiency across teams. - **Regulatory Compliance Challenges:** Depending on the industry and geographic location, businesses may be subject to specific regulatory requirements. Failure to fully implement compliance-related features in Microsoft 365 can lead to non-compliance and potential consequences. ![MS 365 security](https://labdesk.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/ms-365-banner.png?width=642&height=324&name=ms-365-banner.png "MS 365 security") --- ### What’s in it for you and your team?
