Microsoft 365 setup: email, Exchange Online, Teams and security

Microsoft 365 is bought quickly and rarely set up properly: emails land in spam because SPF and DKIM are missing, mailboxes are open without multi-factor authentication, and calendars and contacts get lost when moving from the old mail server. I set up Microsoft 365 so that it runs securely and your team can work from day one.

This includes the migration of existing mailboxes, the setup of Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive with sensible permissions, security policies and a backup of your Microsoft 365 data, because Microsoft itself does not protect your mailboxes against deletion or ransomware.

What is included

  • Tenant setup, licence advice (Business Basic, Standard, Premium) and domain connection
  • DNS for email delivery: MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, Autodiscover, so your emails arrive and cannot be spoofed
  • Migration from IMAP, Exchange, Google Workspace or hosting mailboxes including calendars and contacts
  • Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive with permission concept, sharing policies and retention
  • Security: multi-factor authentication, Conditional Access, protection against phishing and forwarding rules, separate admin accounts
  • Backup of mailboxes, OneDrive and SharePoint to independent storage
  • Device management with Intune for notebooks and smartphones on request
  • Training for employees and documentation of the settings

Typical assignments

  • A company with 15 employees moves from an old hosting mailbox to Exchange Online without losing a single email.
  • The company invoices land in the spam folders of customers: SPF, DKIM and DMARC are set up correctly.
  • After a phishing incident, multi-factor authentication and Conditional Access are enabled for all accounts.
  • A team switches to Teams telephony and shared mailboxes and gets a permission concept for SharePoint.

Questions about this service

Do I need a backup if everything is in the cloud?

Yes. Microsoft guarantees the availability of the platform, not the recovery of deleted or encrypted data beyond the recycle bin. A separate backup is standard in every setup.

Can you migrate our old emails?

Yes, from IMAP mailboxes, Exchange, Google Workspace or PST files, including folder structure, calendars and contacts. The switch is planned so that there is no period without email.

Which licence is the right one?

For most companies Business Standard (Office apps plus email) or Business Premium (additionally Intune and advanced security). I advise based on your actual usage, not the catalogue.
