Microsoft 365 Setup & Hardening
Email, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive configured with the security baselines most setups skip — phishing-resistant MFA, Conditional Access, and a healthy Secure Score.
Marina is where the Peninsula is actually growing — new offices, ag-tech and tech startups, and teams that are hybrid from day one. A cloud-first foundation fits that perfectly: Microsoft 365 and Azure let a growing Marina company scale without re-buying everything at twenty people. Done right it scales cleanly; done wrong it has to be ripped out. Ghosxt handles cloud and Microsoft 365 work for Marina small business, from a cleared DoD IT engineer.
Cloud and Microsoft 365 management is part of every managed plan — pricing published upfront.
Microsoft 365 and Azure, set up and secured the way they should have been from day one.
Email, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive configured with the security baselines most setups skip — phishing-resistant MFA, Conditional Access, and a healthy Secure Score.
Move from on-prem Exchange, Google Workspace, or a hosting provider to Microsoft 365 with mailboxes, calendars, and shared files validated before and after. No lost data, no lost workday.
File shares rebuilt as a sane SharePoint and Teams structure with permissions that make sense. See our guide to which to use when.
Microsoft 365 and Azure set up to scale from five people to fifty without ripping it out — identity, file structure, and device management that grow with you.
Secure access to email, files, and apps for hybrid and student-adjacent teams around CSUMB, on managed devices, without a brittle VPN.
Azure where it earns its place — a line-of-business app, secure remote access, or hybrid identity — and not where it does not.
Immutable backup for Microsoft 365 (which Microsoft does not do for you the way most assume), plus Entra ID and Conditional Access.
Growing companies need email, files, and collaboration that work for hybrid and remote teams from day one, identity that scales as they hire, and the ability to add a line-of-business app in Azure without standing up a server. Startups and ag-tech firms want to look credible to customers and investors. Microsoft 365 and Azure deliver all of it — when the foundation is built to scale and hardened correctly, instead of cobbled together and outgrown.
The common thread is that Microsoft 365 is powerful but insecure by default. The value is in the configuration — the part most setups skip and the part we get right.
30 minutes with a cleared engineer. We review your tenant, email, files, and security posture, and leave you a written migration and hardening plan, whether or not you become a client.
Book your free assessmentThe reason businesses put off a cloud move is fear of the cutover — the weekend where email breaks and Monday is chaos. We plan around that. Mailboxes and files are pre-staged and synced, the cutover happens on your schedule, and we validate everything before your team logs in Monday morning. Permissions, shared mailboxes, calendar sharing, and line-of-business integrations are tested, not assumed.
Because the same team manages the environment afterward, there is no handoff to a stranger — the engineer who moved you is the one who answers when you have a question. The cloud work sits inside managed IT and a real help desk.
The cloud and Microsoft 365 program is part of our complete Marina IT services, alongside cybersecurity and a real help desk. We are based on the Central Coast, so on-site work is genuinely local, with the same remote management nationwide.
We also serve Seaside, Monterey, Salinas, and Pacific Grove. For the statewide picture of our cloud work, see the main cloud services page.
