Is your charity making the most of Microsoft 365 security?
Most UK charities already have access to 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 brings together 10 practical security controls: Multi-Factor Authentication, Conditional Access, Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Secure Score, Identity Protection, Email Security, Endpoint Protection, Data Backup & Recovery, Data Loss Prevention, and SharePoint & Teams Governance.
Together, these controls help charities protect user accounts, reduce email and identity-based attacks,` secure devices, protect sensitive data and improve visibility of their Microsoft 365 security posture. The framework can also help charity leaders and trustees identify security gaps, prioritise improvements and demonstrate a more structured approach to cyber risk and governance.
The Bunker Microsoft 365 Security Framework
Every control you implement strengthens your organisation’s cyber resilience. Together, these ten controls create a practical, layered Microsoft 365 security framework that helps UK charities reduce cyber risk, protect sensitive information and confidently embrace digital transformation
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.
