Advanced M365 Security Assessment
The Advanced M365 Security Assessment goes beyond CIS Foundations to evaluate OAuth and Enterprise App Governance, Intune Admin Hardening, BEC Readiness, and Copilot/AI Security Readiness — the controls that automated tools miss entirely.
What Is the Advanced M365 Security Assessment?
The Advanced M365 Security Assessment is a premium add-on to our CIS M365 Foundations Assessment. It evaluates the security areas that automated tools and standard benchmarks miss — OAuth app sprawl, Intune administrative controls, business email compromise readiness, and Copilot/AI security posture.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the Advanced M365 Security Assessment cover?
- It covers four premium modules: OAuth & Enterprise App Governance, Intune Admin Hardening, BEC Readiness, and Copilot/AI Security Readiness. These go beyond the CIS M365 Foundations Benchmark into areas that require manual expert review.
- Do I need the Foundations Assessment first?
- Yes. The Advanced Assessment is designed as an add-on to the CIS M365 Foundations Assessment. The Foundations Assessment establishes baseline security posture, and the Advanced modules evaluate deeper risk areas.
- Why are these controls not in the standard CIS Benchmark?
- CIS Benchmarks focus on foundational configuration settings. OAuth governance, BEC resilience, and AI security readiness require contextual analysis of business workflows, app permissions, and threat modeling that automated scanning cannot perform.
