Managed Workplace Services.
Configured. Secured. Fully Used.
Microsoft 365 is the backbone of how your team communicates, collaborates, and gets work done. Most businesses are using a fraction of what they're paying for and leaving security gaps in the process. Aureon configures, secures, and continuously optimizes your entire Microsoft environment, so every seat earns its cost, and your data stays protected.
Your entire Microsoft environment, configured, secured, and fully used.
Most businesses are paying for Microsoft 365 features they've never turned on.
The gap between a configured M365 environment and a default one. Click any row to see what it means.
Conditional access, MFA enforcement, legacy authentication blocked, and data loss prevention rules deployed, not left at Microsoft's insecure defaults.
Permissions audited, external sharing scoped, and Teams policies enforced, so collaboration tools don't become data-leakage tools.
MFA enforced across every user and every app. Conditional access policies block logins from unexpected locations or devices before credentials can be used.
The same certified team handling your M365 config also manages identity, security, and backup, so nothing falls between vendors when a problem crosses tools.
Out-of-the-box M365 prioritizes accessibility over security. Legacy authentication stays enabled; external sharing is too permissive, and critical protections remain off.
Without governance, sensitive files end up in guest-accessible Teams channels and SharePoint folders with company-wide read permissions no one remembers granting.
Without MFA and conditional access, a phished password gives attackers full access to email, OneDrive, and SharePoint, from anywhere in the world.
Microsoft Defender, advanced compliance tools, and Copilot capabilities sit idle while the monthly bill runs. Unconfigured licenses are just cost with no return.
The difference isn't the license. It's whether anyone actually configured it.
Most M365 environments are deployed once and never revisited. Security policies drift. Permissions accumulate. New features go unused. Microsoft releases hundreds of updates a year and the gap between what you have and what you're paying for widens every quarter. A short conversation with Aureon's certified team is enough to show you exactly what your environment looks like and what it would take to close the gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Aureon Managed Workplace covers three services: Microsoft 365 Management (organization-wide configuration, security policies, user admin, licensing), Data Protection for Microsoft 365 (daily backup and point-in-time recovery for email, files, and calendars), and Managed Backup (automated backups, verified restores, and immutable storage for your broader environment). Together they ensure your Microsoft environment is configured, secured, and fully used.
Day to day: user onboarding and offboarding, license assignments, security policy maintenance, and monitoring for alerts and configuration drift. When Microsoft releases platform updates, which happens frequently, Aureon reviews changes and ensures your configuration remains correct. You get a properly managed M365 environment without needing an internal M365 administrator on staff.
Without governance, Teams and SharePoint drift into problems: duplicate teams, abandoned channels, files shared externally that shouldn't be, and permissions that no longer match who works at the company. Former employees may still have access. Sensitive documents may be accessible to everyone in the organization. Left unmanaged these issues compound and create compliance, security, and productivity problems. Aureon applies governance policies that prevent the drift and conducts regular reviews to keep the environment clean.
Yes. Aureon conducts a licensing review identifying inactive accounts, over-provisioned license tiers where users only need basic functionality, and duplicate tools where your M365 subscription already includes a capability you're paying a third party to provide. Most organizations find meaningful savings, and discover they already own security or productivity tools they were not aware were included in their plan.
Yes. Aureon has experience migrating businesses to Microsoft 365 from Google Workspace, on-premises Exchange, and other platforms. Migration includes email, calendar data, user accounts, and document libraries. Aureon plans the migration to minimize disruption, handles the technical execution, and ensures the new environment is properly configured and secured before cutover.
Managed Workplace services are priced per user per month. M365 Management, Data Protection for Microsoft 365, and Managed Backup can be bundled or purchased individually depending on your needs. Aureon conducts a discovery conversation to assess your environment and build a proposal scoped to what your business actually requires.
Baseline security configuration and policy enforcement typically completes within one to two weeks for most business-sized organizations. Full SharePoint permissions audit and Teams governance setup takes longer depending on your environment size. Aureon prioritizes the highest-impact security changes first, so your environment becomes meaningfully more secure early in the engagement, not at the end of a lengthy implementation.
