Is your charity making the most of Microsoft 365 security?​

Most UK charities already own powerful Microsoft 365 security tools—but many of the controls that provide the greatest protection are either not configured or only partially implemented.

The Bunker Microsoft 365 Security Framework explains the ten security controls we recommend every charity should implement to reduce cyber risk, strengthen governance and protect sensitive information.

Most charities already own powerful Microsoft 365 security tools—but many of the most effective protections are either partially configured or not enabled at all.

This framework explains the ten security controls we recommend to help charities reduce cyber risk, strengthen governance and build a secure foundation for future growth.

Microsoft 365 provides charities with powerful collaboration, communication and productivity tools, but without the right security controls in place, it can also introduce unnecessary cyber risk.

The Bunker Microsoft 365 Security Framework brings together the 10 essential security controls we recommend every charity should implement to protect user accounts, secure sensitive information and strengthen long-term cyber resilience.

Whether you’re reviewing your current Microsoft 365 environment, preparing for Cyber Essentials, working towards Cyber Essentials Plus or simply looking to improve your overall security posture, this framework provides practical guidance based on real-world experience supporting UK charities.

Each guide explains:

  • What the control is
  • Why it matters
  • Common implementation mistakes
  • Bunker’s recommended approach
  • A real charity example
  • Practical next steps

Rather than focusing on technology alone, our framework helps charity leaders, trustees and IT teams understand how these controls work together to reduce organisational risk, improve governance and create a secure foundation for future growth.
