IllustrativeA representative example of how CyberByte works and the outcomes we target — not an actual client result. Figures are indicative.

The challenge

A long-standing customer made completing a supply-chain security questionnaire a condition of staying on their panel. The manufacturer ran everything through Microsoft 365 but had never reviewed its configuration beyond turning on MFA, leaving identity and data-protection gaps it couldn't see.

The trigger

A major customer's supply-chain security questionnaire was a condition of remaining a supplier.

What CyberByte did

A scoped, deliberate path to the outcome

No 200-page data dump — every step was prioritised, evidenced and written to be acted on.

  • Reviewed Microsoft 365 identity and Conditional Access coverage

  • Hardened Defender and removed legacy authentication paths

  • Tightened Purview data-loss and retention configuration

  • Locked down privileged and admin role assignments

  • Produced an evidence pack answering the customer's questionnaire

The outcome

Measurable, evidenced, board-ready.

Secure Score uplift

Target outcome: materially lift the Microsoft 365 Secure Score

Legacy auth eliminated

Highest-risk identity path closed

Evidence prepared

Target outcome: evidence prepared for the customer questionnaire

What success looks like

In a scenario like this, a manufacturer could move from assuming MFA was enough to seeing what was missed — with evidence prepared for the customer's questionnaire.
