MDR for Microsoft 365

Catch Identity-Based Threats Before They Spread

24/7 Threat Monitoring for Your Microsoft 365 Environment

Microsoft 365 is the gateway to your business — which makes it a prime target for attackers. From phishing emails to hijacked accounts, today’s threats are stealthy and often identity-based. Our Managed Detection and Response (MDR) for Microsoft 365 gives you 24/7 visibility into your cloud environment, actively detecting suspicious sign-ins, inbox rules, and data sharing behaviours that indicate compromise.

With continuous monitoring, real-time alerting, and human-led analysis, our MDR service helps catch threats early, before they spread or cause damage. Whether it’s an MFA bypass attempt, foreign login, or malicious mailbox rule, we’ll investigate, triage, and guide you on the right response, all as part of your retained support plan.

Key Features & Benefits of MDR for Microsoft 365
Suspicious Sign-In Detection

We continuously monitor for high-risk logins, including impossible travel, legacy authentication, MFA abuse, and access from unusual geolocations. If something looks off, you’ll know about it.

Malicious Inbox Rule Monitoring

Attackers often create hidden rules to forward emails or hide their tracks. We detect unauthorised mailbox changes, like auto-forwarding or message deletion, so threats can’t linger undetected.

External File Sharing Alerts

If sensitive files in OneDrive or SharePoint are suddenly shared with unknown external contacts, we’ll alert you immediately, helping you prevent a potential data leak.

Human-Led Investigation and Triage

Every alert is reviewed by real analysts, not just algorithms. Our security team filters out noise, investigates suspicious activity, and provides clear next steps when action is required.

Integrated with Microsoft 365 Security Tools

Our service uses the native security signals already built into Microsoft 365, giving us full visibility without needing extra agents or disruption to your team.

Fully Managed by Get Support

As part of your retained support plan, our team takes care of monitoring, alerting, and response guidance, so you can focus on running your business, not reacting to threats.

The guidance, support and a great deal of work on our recent project to replace our IT infrastructure and operating systems was absolutely exemplary.
Everything went better than planned in terms of timescale, cost and value.
I am delighted with the result and this great new system will allow us to achieve even great scalability, not to mention peace of mind having Get Support as our new partner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as Microsoft Defender for Office 365?

Not quite. Microsoft Defender offers some built-in protection, but it’s only part of the picture. Our MDR service adds 24/7 monitoring, human-led threat detection, and actionable response — giving you expert oversight and faster intervention when something looks suspicious.

Do I need a special Microsoft licence for this to work?

No, our MDR service works with most Microsoft 365 business plans, including Business Standard, E3, and E5. As long as your tenant provides access to sign-in, file activity, and mailbox logs, we can monitor it. We’ll confirm compatibility during onboarding.

Will this slow anything down or impact users?

Absolutely. DNSFilter allows us to create custom filtering policies based on your business needs. You can choose to block entire categories, like gambling or political content, or allow exceptions as needed.

How will I know if there’s a threat?

When our team verifies suspicious activity, like unusual sign-ins, malicious inbox rules, or abnormal file sharing, we’ll notify you right away. You’ll receive a clear summary of what’s happened and what action to take, or we’ll guide you through the response directly.

Can I buy this as a standalone service?

This service is available exclusively to clients on a retained IT support plan with Get Support. It can be added as a standalone cybersecurity enhancement, or included as part of a broader security package tailored to your business.
