Microsoft 365 Hardening and Huntress Managed ISPM

Huntress reports results from deploying Managed ISPM across more than 12,000 Microsoft 365 tenants, finding widespread identity posture gaps—such as absent MFA, over‑privileged accounts, and standard users able to perform admin functions—that enable rapid privilege escalation; the document explains why gaps persist (fear of user impact, exceptions, drift), describes Managed ISPM features (Learning Mode, Managed Deployments, integration with ITDR), and positions the service as a solution to continuously detect and remediate identity security drift.
