How Can We Help?
Short answer: Microsoft 365 Lighthouse is a Microsoft management portal that lets a service provider like ABCOM watch over many customers’ Microsoft 365 tenancies from one place. We use it to spot security gaps, keep settings consistent and catch problems early, before they interrupt your staff.
