Securing SharePoint Post-Migration: Top 5 Governance Considerations 

Illustration showing the SharePoint logo on the left connected by circuit-like lines to icons for alerts, locks, and search, leading to a shield with a checkmark on the right, representing secure and compliant data protection in SharePoint.

SharePoint migration doesn’t end when content is moved to the new environment. In many organizations, it’s actually the point where security risk begins to build. Permissions can expand, external sharing may become harder to monitor, and the governance controls established during migration often weaken over time.  Post-migration security requires a governance plan to keep your data secure. Without governance, SharePoint environments retain legacy access models, overshared content and inconsistent controls that no longer […]

Microsoft is one of the largest software vendors that provides customers with a security-focused public cloud platform. With a broad range of technologies and security tools that can fit small, medium and large enterprises, Microsoft lays a solid foundation for a modern IT environment.  For most businesses, however, the problem is not adoption. Reliable third-party […]

AI Security: Using Microsoft 365 Copilot Safely at Scale

A light grey tech-themed background with circuit patterns features the CrucialLogics logo and tagline at the top. At the center, a blue digital padlock icon composed of geometric network points is surrounded by circular blue tech rings. Beside it, another ring encloses a colorful, ribbon-like abstract logo. The overall design conveys Microsoft 365 Copilot AI security.

AI productivity assistants and task-driven agents are becoming part of daily operations across most large organizations.  Regardless of form, one question remains: how can organizations secure AI and govern it at scale? The most common issues include exposure of sensitive data, increased strain on IT teams, compliance gaps and uncontrolled information sharing across the organization.  […]

Microsoft 365 E3 vs E5: Compare Plans & Pricing 

A graphic comparing Microsoft 365 E3 and E5 plans. A simple table shows green check marks for both E3 and E5 in the first two feature rows, and in the third row a red X for E3 and a green check mark for E5, indicating E5 includes an additional capability.

Microsoft 365 comes with a wide range of tools that help teams collaborate smoothly, share files easily, and stay productive across the organization. To get the most value from it, you need a licensing plan that aligns with your operational needs and budget.  For larger organizations, the two main enterprise options are Microsoft 365 E3 […]

Maximizing Efficiency With Granular Delegated Admin Privileges (GDAP) 

A digital cybersecurity graphic featuring two large circular interfaces, one green with an unlocked padlock icon and one red with a locked padlock icon, connected by network lines. Smaller glowing padlock icons appear throughout the blue networked background. The CrucialLogics logo and the tagline “consulting with a conscience” are displayed at the top.

Granular Delegated Admin Privileges (GDAP) is a Microsoft security feature that enables managed service providers (MSPs) to manage customer environments following the principle of least privilege access.  Think of GDAP like giving someone a spare key to your house but only for certain rooms and only for a limited time.  In this blog, we’ll outline […]

Healthcare Cybersecurity: Essential Strategies for Guarding Patient Data 

A person’s hand points at a laptop screen displaying a digital shield with a checkmark symbol in the center, surrounded by healthcare-related icons such as a doctor, hospital bed, stethoscope, clipboard, and heart. The “CrucialLogics” logo with the tagline “consulting with a conscience” appears at the top of the image.

Healthcare organizations are not immune to cyberattacks. When patient records are leaked, the impact goes far beyond reputational damage. Data breaches can delay surgeries, compromise patient outcomes, and in some cases, lead to loss of life. The financial toll, often in the form of regulatory fines and operational disruption, can cripple even well-resourced institutions. For […]

Microsoft Edge vs Chrome: Why IT Admins Choose Edge 

Two browser windows displayed side by side against a city skyline at dusk, one showing the Microsoft Edge logo and the other showing the Google Chrome logo, symbolizing a comparison between the two web browsers.

Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome are powerful web browsers, feature-packed and with a constant lineup of updates. However, only one can dominate your end-users’ browsing experience. From an end-user perspective, switching to Microsoft Edge shouldn’t feel like a downgrade. In many ways, it feels the same as Chrome (since they share the same engine) with a […]

AI In Cybersecurity: Use Cases, Risks, and How to Implement It Safely 

Illustration of an orange digital brain emitting data streams of binary code and text toward a blue shield with binary digits, symbolizing cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. The logo “CrucialLogics” with the tagline “consulting with a conscience” appears at the top.

The virtual battlefield is evolving. Cyberattacks by malicious actors are no longer a nuisance; they’ve become organized and sophisticated operations capable of crippling businesses and their entire infrastructure. In such a high-stakes environment, traditional, manual cybersecurity can no longer keep up.  Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed how we protect IT infrastructure. Yet, it carries a […]

Phishing-Resistant MFA: Methods, Risks and Rollout

Logo of CrucialLogics with the tagline “consulting with a conscience” at the top. Below it, a computer monitor and smartphone display login screens with unlocked padlocks and password fields, with a phishing hook above the monitor. In the center, a large blue shield with an orange checkmark symbolizes cybersecurity protection. Abstract wave-like background in soft blue and beige tones.

Phishing-resistant MFA strengthens identity protection by adding a security layer that prevents attackers from bypassing traditional MFA methods and scaling their attacks.  Over the years, phishing has evolved far beyond basic email lures. It has evolved into sophisticated adversary-in-the-middle attacks, which are not linked to more than 90% of successful breaches.  In this blog, we’ll […]
