Microsoft Partner in Dubai — Cloud & IT Solutions for UAE Businesses
An independent look inside your Microsoft 365 tenant, written down, ranked by risk — with the cost of fixing each item.
— The basics
A structured review of your Microsoft 365 environment against a defined checklist — security configuration, identity, devices, data sharing, licence allocation and administrative practice. It produces a written report, not a verbal opinion in a meeting.
It is deliberately an audit rather than a sales exercise. You keep the report whether or not you engage us to fix anything, and it is written so another provider could act on it.

— Symptoms
Four practice areas, one accountable partner. Each starts with an assessment and ends with something measurable
Nobody knows who has admin
Licences do not match headcount
MFA is 'mostly' enabled
Files are shared with 'anyone'

Unknown devices reach company mail
— Scope
Area
What we check
Identity
MFA coverage, legacy authentication, admin roles, guest accounts, stale accounts
Conditional Access
Policy coverage, exclusions, break-glass accounts, gaps in enforcement
Devices
Intune enrolment, compliance policies, encryption status, unmanaged devices with access
Email security
PF, DKIM, DMARC, anti-phishing policy, forwarding rules to external addresses
Data & sharing
External sharing settings, anonymous links, over-permissioned SharePoint sites
Licensing
Assigned vs active users, plan fit by role, duplicate or redundant add-ons
Backup & recovery
Retention settings, third-party backup, and what could actually be restored
— The metric
Secure Score is Microsoft’s measurement of your security configuration against recommended practice. It is genuinely useful as a direction of travel — and genuinely misleading if treated as a target in itself.
- Some recommendations do not apply to your business; ignoring them deliberately is correct
- A high score with unmanaged devices reaching company data is a false comfort
- The value is in the movement and the reasoning, not the number on the dashboard
- We record which recommendations we rejected and why, so the decision is auditable

Yours to keep
— After the report
1
Quick wins
Usually identity: MFA gaps closed, legacy authentication blocked, admin roles reduced. Days, not weeks.
2
Structural fixes
Device compliance, sharing policy and SharePoint permissions. A scoped project.
3
Cost recovery
Licence right-sizing, which frequently offsets a meaningful part of the remediation cost.
4
Steady state
Quarterly re-assessment so the posture does not quietly drift back.
— Common questions
What is a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) in Dubai?
A CSP is a Microsoft-authorised partner licensed to sell, provision and support Microsoft cloud subscriptions on Microsoft’s behalf. In Dubai that means your Microsoft 365 and Azure subscriptions are bought, billed and supported through a local company rather than directly from Microsoft’s website — with the partner acting as first line of support and holding the commercial relationship.
How is buying Microsoft 365 through a CSP different from buying direct?
Buying direct gives you a subscription and a self-service portal. Buying through a CSP gives you the same licences plus local billing in AED, monthly or annual terms, the ability to add and remove seats mid-cycle, and a partner who configures and supports the tenant. The licence itself is identical — the difference is everything around it.
Is Serviona an authorised Microsoft partner in the UAE?

Does Serviona provide support after Microsoft 365 setup?
