Why ShieldFactor

The gap most security firms can't close

The market reality

The largest enterprises pay premium rates for a Purview migration not because the technology is expensive, but because finding someone who has actually delivered one is rare.

ShieldFactor exists to close that gap.
  • Practitioner-led, not partner-fronted

    The senior engineer on your discovery call is the same engineer in your production tenant. We don't sell capability we then subcontract.

  • Microsoft-native, not Microsoft-adjacent

    We don't bolt third-party tools onto the M365 stack. We make the platform do what it was designed to do, properly configured and properly tuned.

  • Built to be inherited

    Every configuration is documented to the level your team needs to operate it. We optimize for handoff from day one, not for ongoing dependency.

  • Fixed scope, fixed fee, defined deliverables

    Engagements are scoped against documented outcomes, not estimated hours. You know what you're buying and what you're getting before we begin.

Our Process

A defined path from kickoff to handoff

Four phases. Defined deliverables at every gate. Timelines are scoped against organizational size, user count, and industry. Engagements typically run between two and six months end to end.

01

Discovery

Tenant assessment, data inventory, and stakeholder interviews. We map what you have before proposing what changes.

02

Design

Classification taxonomy, label architecture, and DLP policy framework, reviewed and signed off before configuration.

03

Implementation

Staged tenant configuration, controlled pilot, telemetry analysis, and tuning before broad deployment.

04

Handoff

Production rollout, runbooks, operator training, and a 30-day stabilization period. We leave when your team owns it.
