Why Microsoft 365 matters for Cheltenham businesses
Cheltenham has an unusually high concentration of professional services firms — solicitors, accountants, financial advisors and consultancies.
Email, files, identities, client communications and compliance evidence all live in the same tenant.
Modern attackers rarely break into systems — they log in.
The reality of cloud-era security

Most breaches we see could have been prevented with basic configuration disciplines.
