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.
What it helps us do
| Area | What we use it for |
|---|---|
| Device and user protection | Check devices and users are protected and compliant |
| Monitoring and alerts | See configuration gaps and security improvements across customers |
| Baseline configuration | Apply a consistent set of recommended policies to Microsoft 365 services |
| Onboarding | Set up users, licences and settings quickly for a new tenancy |
| Account insight | Recommendations and renewal views to plan ahead with you |
