Administration cleanup

A tenant review covers users, groups, aliases, shared drives and their owners, delegated administration, third-party application access, device policy, and the security settings that were left at their defaults.

External sharing defaults and legacy access methods get particular attention, because they are where data leaves quietly. The output is a list of settings to change, each with what it affects and who it might inconvenience.

• Individual administrator accounts with multi-factor authentication and a protected break-glass account.
• Documented joiner, role-change, and departure procedures.
• Reviewed external sharing, forwarding rules, and third-party app consent.

Email authentication done completely

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC only work when every system that sends mail on the domain is accounted for — the marketing platform, the accounting software, the ticketing system, the copier. Missing one is how a DMARC policy change starts silently discarding legitimate invoices.

The work is to inventory every sender first, publish DMARC in monitoring mode, read the reports, and only then move to a stricter policy. DNS is coordinated as part of that, since the same team handling the domain handles the mail flow.

Migrations in either direction

Moves to Google Workspace and moves from it to Microsoft 365 both involve the same risks: mail flow, identity, delegated access, shared calendars, files and permissions, mobile devices, and the applications that quietly depend on one platform.

Migrations are planned with a pilot group, acceptance checks, a communication plan, and a rollback window, and the source environment is kept until validation is complete.
