End User Computing Security: Microsoft E5 Implementation

Secure Every Device. Protect Every Identity. Activate Your E5 Investment. Microsoft E5 is one of the most powerful security platforms available to enterprise organisations today. It includes best-in-class tools for endpoint protection, device management, identity security and advanced threat detection. But for most organisations, the gap between having E5 licences and having a fully secured, well-governed environment remains wide - because configuration takes expertise, time and a clear deployment methodology that most internal IT teams cannot deliver at pace. The result is predictable: devices that are enrolled but not hardened, Conditional Access policies that are incomplete or misconfigured, Defender for Endpoint running in audit mode rather than active protection, and Defender for Identity generating alerts that nobody is acting on. Codec's End User Computing Security: Microsoft E5 Implementation closes that gap. It is a fixed-scope, expert-led full deployment engagement that activates all four core E5 security components - Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Entra ID and Defender for Identity - and integrates them into a unified, production-ready security posture in 8 weeks.

What This Offer Delivers Phase 1 - Discovery & Design (Week 1–2) We conduct a full assessment of your current device estate, identity infrastructure and existing Microsoft 365 configuration. We map gaps against E5 capabilities, define your target security architecture and produce a deployment plan aligned to your business requirements, compliance obligations and risk appetite. Phase 2 - Endpoint & Device Management (Weeks 2–4) We deploy and configure Microsoft Intune across your device estate - Windows, macOS, iOS and Android - establishing device compliance policies, configuration profiles and application management. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is activated in full protection mode with attack surface reduction rules, endpoint detection and response, and automated investigation and remediation configured and tested. Phase 3 - Identity & Access Security (Weeks 4–6) We configure Microsoft Entra ID with Conditional Access policies enforcing risk-based access controls, Multi-Factor Authentication, compliant device requirements and privileged identity protections. Microsoft Defender for Identity is deployed across your on-premises and hybrid identity infrastructure - detecting lateral movement, credential theft, and identity-based attack patterns in real time. Phase 4 - Integration, Validation & Handover (Weeks 7–8) All four components are integrated into Microsoft Defender XDR, giving your security team a single unified portal across endpoints, identity, and threat intelligence. We conduct end-to-end scenario testing, deliver SOC and IT team enablement sessions, hand over full operational runbooks and documentation, and provide 30 days of post-go-live hypercare support.
