What You Walk Away With

01

M365 Governance Framework Document

A comprehensive written governance framework covering Teams naming conventions and lifecycle policies, SharePoint site structure and permission standards, OneDrive sharing policies, Exchange mail flow rules, and data retention schedules. This document is the authoritative reference your IT team uses to maintain consistent standards after implementation.

02

Security Baseline Configuration Record

A complete record of every Conditional Access policy, MFA enforcement rule, Data Loss Prevention policy, and Microsoft Defender configuration applied to your tenant. Each setting is noted with its rationale, the risk it mitigates, and the procedure for modifying it. Includes a Microsoft Secure Score baseline reading and target score.

03

Migration Runbook

Step-by-step migration procedures covering pre-migration validation, cutover sequence, user communication templates, and rollback criteria. Written for your IT team to execute or reference, not for Safari Micro's use. Includes a post-migration validation checklist to confirm data integrity and service continuity.

04

License Optimization Report

An analysis of your current Microsoft 365 license assignments against actual feature usage, with specific recommendations for right-sizing. Identifies over-licensed users, under-utilized premium features, and licensing gaps. Includes a 12-month cost projection under the recommended license mix.

05

Identity & Access Architecture Document

Documentation of your Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) group structure, RBAC role assignments, Conditional Access policy logic, and any SSO or federation configurations. Includes a visual diagram of the identity architecture and a table of all admin role assignments with justification for each.

06

Admin Operations Guide

Day-to-day Microsoft 365 administration procedures covering user provisioning and deprovisioning, license assignment, Teams and SharePoint site creation, password reset procedures, and escalation paths for issues beyond Tier 1. Written for your IT staff, not for a Microsoft engineer.
