Identity and cloud security
Microsoft 365 configuration, multi-factor authentication, access controls, and practical cloud identity protection.
Managed security for Michigan organizations
Cybersecurity services
DSE helps Michigan organizations reduce technology risk across identity, endpoints, networks, Microsoft 365, backups, and day-to-day managed IT operations.
Service definition
What are cybersecurity services?
Cybersecurity reduces technology risk through identity controls, endpoint protection, patching, network security, backups, monitoring, and response planning. DSE integrates cybersecurity with managed IT, Microsoft 365, networks, workstations, and facility technology for Michigan organizations.
Core coverage
Cybersecurity controls connected to real operations
Endpoint and patch management
Device security, operating-system updates, endpoint protection, monitoring, and support aligned with managed workstation care.
Network and recovery planning
Firewall and network controls, backup planning, recovery priorities, documentation, and coordinated response preparation.
Readiness review
Areas a cybersecurity readiness review can cover
A review starts with the organization, current environment, priorities, and known concerns. Scope is documented for each customer rather than assumed.
Identity and multi-factor authentication
Review account access, administrative roles, sign-in protections, and practical identity controls.
Endpoint protection and patching
Review workstation and server updates, protection, device visibility, and support ownership.
Email and collaboration security
Review Microsoft 365 access, sharing, collaboration settings, and user-facing risk controls.
Backup and recovery planning
Document protected data, recovery priorities, backup responsibilities, and restoration planning.
Awareness and phishing readiness
Identify training, reporting, and testing needs that help users recognize and escalate suspicious activity.
Vulnerability and policy planning
Organize technical findings, ownership, policies, and practical remediation priorities into a supportable roadmap.
Documented operating model
From current-state review to an owned security plan
1. Assess
Review the environment, identities, endpoints, networks, cloud services, backups, existing controls, and business priorities.
2. Prioritize
Separate urgent gaps from longer-term improvements and identify the systems, owners, and dependencies involved.
3. Plan
Document scope, responsibilities, sequencing, support needs, and the practical next steps the organization can evaluate.
4. Support
Connect approved security work with managed IT, Microsoft 365, endpoint, network, backup, and lifecycle operations.

Direct answers
Common cybersecurity questions
What does DSE cybersecurity support include?
DSE cybersecurity support connects identity protection, endpoint security, patching, network controls, Microsoft 365 administration, backup planning, and managed IT operations. The exact scope is documented for each customer environment.
Can DSE help secure Microsoft 365?
Yes. DSE supports Microsoft 365 administration and security controls, including identity configuration, multi-factor authentication, access management, and related cloud-service planning.
Is cybersecurity separate from managed IT?
Cybersecurity has its own risk and control objectives, but many controls depend on managed IT work such as patching, identity administration, endpoint management, backups, network configuration, and user support. DSE links those services instead of treating them as unrelated tasks.
Should an active cybersecurity incident use the assessment form?
No. The assessment form is for planning and readiness discussions, not active incident evidence. Existing DSE managed IT customers should use the MSP Help Desk; other organizations should use their established incident-response or emergency escalation contact.
