The cost of non-compliance

Of SMBs have misconfigured M365 security policies that create compliance gaps

$14.8M

Average annual cost of non-compliance per organization, including fines and remediation

Day 1

When Guardyne365 begins enforcing your compliance controls — automatically

What compliance delivers

Three outcomes from day one

Guardyne Compliance removes the manual configuration burden, enforces consistent controls across your entire M365 environment, and keeps you aligned as regulations evolve.

Policies deployed in hours, not months

Pre-packaged security policies and controls, built by security experts and mapped to your industry’s regulatory requirements. No manual configuration, no starting from scratch — deployed into your M365 environment the same day.

Fully customizable by your vCISO

Every policy is a starting point, not a constraint. Your Guardyne vCISO tailors controls to your specific business context, industry requirements, and risk tolerance — so compliance reflects your actual environment.

Continuously enforced by Guardyne365

Once deployed, Guardyne365 monitors your compliance posture 24×365 — detecting drift the moment it occurs and remediating automatically. Your controls don’t degrade over time. They stay enforced.
