Vihreä Älyenergia: a full picture of Microsoft 365 security and a to-do list in under a week, without doing the research themselves

A clear overall picture for developing security

Mikko Möykky is responsible for developing Vihreä Älyenergia's processes, systems and ways of working. When the health check began, he had been Chief Operating Officer for only a few months. It was known that the Microsoft 365 environment might need work on security and licensing, and there were signs of it in everyday operations.

When Wolflake got in touch on LinkedIn, the decision came quickly. Mikko discussed it with colleagues and also ran the proposal through an AI assistant.

"It was a pretty easy decision."

A Microsoft 365 Health Check straight from the environment's data

The health check was done directly from the environment's data, with no long interviews and nothing imposed on users. The report and the management presentation were ready in under a week from receiving access. The review produced 19 findings, prioritised into immediate fixes and longer-term actions. Each one states what to do and why, so Mikko did not have to dig anything up himself. He went through the report with the company's CTO and shared it with the rest of the management team as it was.

"A really clear report and a good roadmap for what to do."

A to-do list and peace of mind

The health check confirmed the suspicions and surfaced issues whose impact had not been considered. There were no big surprises, but Mikko got the overall picture he did not yet have in his new role.

"The health check made my own work a lot easier. I no longer have to dig up every issue myself; I now have a clear list of what we need to do."

The prioritised to-do list now guides the company's remediation work. At the top are the things that typically protect a small company's Microsoft 365 environment: account takeover, spoofed email sent in the company's name, and unmanaged devices. The health check also confirmed that the licence tier required for security is worth upgrading. The upgrade has been planned so that costs stay roughly where they are.

Mikko sees the value above all in working time:

"In a small organisation, someone might think a package at this price feels expensive. But when you consider how much working time it saves, doing it ourselves would have cost us considerably more time and money."

On peace of mind, Mikko sums it up:

"On the security side, the health check gave us the means and the tools for what needs to be done, so that we can have peace of mind about it."

Fixes in stages, the most important first

The fixes are now progressing in stages according to the list. In the energy sector, security matters more than in most, and the health check gave this work a clear direction.

"This was handled really well, and we are very pleased with the result."
