Microsoft Control Validation Assessment
How Secure Is Your
Microsoft Tenant?
Validate your Microsoft security controls against your live tenant configuration. Get the evidence that proves where you stand.
Why this question is hard to answer
Microsoft environments make internal validation difficult.
The controls are in. The evidence is not.
Your team deployed E5 licenses. Multiple teams configured Defender, Entra, Purview, and Intune across multiple years. Whether those controls enforce as intended is a separate question. Producing the evidence to answer it takes dedicated effort.
Configuration state does not stay still.
Policies change and admins rotate. Microsoft updates the platform on its own release cadence, changing defaults and deprecating settings. What the team documented a year ago may not reflect what is live today.
Auditors are asking for more than policy documents.
Boards, auditors, and cyber insurance underwriters want specific evidence: which controls are enforcing, which accounts are covered, and what changed since the last review.
Quick Self-Assessment
If one or more of these statements is true for your organization, the Control Validation Assessment is built for you.
We have E5 or Defender licensing and cannot confirm which controls are actively enforcing.
Multiple admins have edited Conditional Access policies and we have not validated the current state.
An audit or insurance renewal is approaching and the best evidence we have is a policy document.
We use or are considering Sentinel and want preventative controls validated before investing further in detection.
Our internal tenant and external surface have not been tested in the same engagement.
We are deploying Copilot or AI agents and want to validate tenant permissions and data protection controls first.
Our Assessment Method
Your tenant, your external footprint, and the attack paths between them.
Inside: Your Microsoft Tenant
The assessment validates whether your tenant configuration reflects what your team intended. Your team knows exactly where to focus: every finding names the specific account, policy, or role behind the exposure.
Outside: Your External Attack Surface
You see what an attacker sees about your organization before they act on it. Exposed services, risky certificates, and vulnerable infrastructure that your team may not know are visible.
Connected: Your Attack Paths
A configuration risk can look minor on its own. Connected into an attack chain, it becomes critical. Findings map to MITRE ATT&CK, showing which single fix breaks the most paths across your environment.
Here’s what happens in each phase.
How We Assess Your Tenante
Step 1
Scope
Together we confirm which Microsoft environments to validate, which compliance frameworks to map, and when to deliver. The assessment is tailored to your organization from the start.
Step 2
Validate
We identify how an attacker would move through your specific environment. Your tenant configuration and external attack surface findings map to MITRE ATT&CK attack chains.
Step 3
Deliver
Your team walks through every finding with Accelerynt’s Microsoft security engineers. Attack paths are interpreted in context, with a prioritized remediation roadmap you can act on.
In 3 steps, your can see what’s real in your tenant now.
Four questions the assessment answers about your tenant.
Every answer is specific to your environment.
Which identity in your tenant is most exposed right now?
Your team knows exactly which account to protect first, with the specific policy gaps and privilege conditions behind the exposure.
What is the attack path that identity enables?
Every step from that identity to the attacker’s objective is mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, so your team sees where to break the chain.
What is externally visible about your organization, and where is it exposed?
Exposed services, risky certificates, and vulnerable infrastructure visible from the outside, before an attacker acts on them.
If you could only make one fix, which one reduces the most risk across the most active chains?
One fix that breaks the most attack paths across your environment. Your team knows where to start.
What Happens After the Assessment
An assessment tells you where you stand on the day it runs. Configuration state changes.
Policies get edited and admins rotate. New workloads go live. The posture you validated will shift, and the question becomes whether you will know when it does. For teams that need the answer to stay current, we built the Accelerynt Security Platform for continuous validation.
See what’s configured, what’s exposed, and what to fix first.
Validated evidence from your live tenant. Delivered in one engagement.
