Microsoft 365 Security Assessments in Chicago
Most Chicago businesses run on Microsoft 365 without ever really knowing how secure it is. It was set up once, settings and permissions have drifted since, and the assumption is that because it is Microsoft, it must be safe. But a Microsoft 365 environment has hundreds of security-related settings that change over time, and defaults often leave gaps, over-shared files, weak access controls, and unmonitored accounts that businesses do not discover until something goes wrong. You cannot protect what you have never actually reviewed.
Hubbard Street Technology helps Chicago businesses find out where they stand. We have supported Chicago businesses since 1994, and we assess your Microsoft 365 environment, identify the security gaps that leave your data exposed, and give you a clear, plain-English picture of what to fix and why. And because we are a full local IT team, we can help you close those gaps, not just point them out. It is how we turn "we think our Microsoft 365 is secure" into knowing it is.

How Our Microsoft 365 Security Assessment Works
As a trusted IT support company, we provide Microsoft 365 security assessments for Chicago businesses, from reviewing your environment to delivering clear recommendations. We go beyond identifying problems by helping you understand the risks and determine what needs to be addressed.
We Review Your Microsoft 365 Environment
We examine how your Microsoft 365 environment is configured, looking at your security settings, access and permissions, and account structure. A thorough review is what turns guesswork into a real picture of your security.
We Identify the Gaps
We pinpoint where your environment is exposed, from risky settings to unnecessary access, and consider what each gap means for your business. Understanding the risks is what lets you prioritize them properly.
We Report in Plain English
We deliver findings your team can actually understand, explaining what we found, what matters most, and what to do about it, without burying it in jargon. A report you can understand is a report you can act on.
We Help You Close the Gaps
Because we are a full local IT team, we can help you fix what the assessment uncovers rather than leaving you with a to-do list. An assessment is only valuable if it leads to a more secure environment.
