Built to make risk inspectable before wider spend.
Assessment output should make it clear what was checked, what matters, what should be fixed first, and what can safely wait. These examples use fictional findings and neutral data.
Microsoft 365 Security Assessment sample outputs.
These sample formats show the kind of evidence, prioritisation, and business-readable reporting Chronobyte aims to provide. They are illustrative examples, not client case studies or security guarantees.

The CSV examples can be opened in Excel or imported into a working risk register. They are intentionally simple so the format can be understood quickly.
1. Executive summary excerpt
A short business-facing view of the assessment outcome.
Overall position: moderate Microsoft 365 risk with three priority controls to stabilise first.
The tenant has the foundations for secure remote work, but risk is increased by inconsistent MFA coverage, standing administrator roles, and unclear leaver evidence. No emergency incident response is indicated from the information reviewed, but the environment would benefit from a controlled remediation sprint before moving into monthly ownership.
Priority 1 Protect administrator and high-risk sign-in paths.
Priority 2 Remove stale access and document leaver checks.
Priority 3 Confirm email authentication and external forwarding controls.
2. Risk register excerpt
Findings should be specific enough for technical action but readable enough for business prioritisation.
| Area | Finding | Risk | Priority | Recommended action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Identity | Several privileged roles appear to be permanently assigned. | Compromised user account could become full tenant compromise. | High | Review admin roles, remove standing access, and agree emergency access process. |
| DMARC is present but not enforced. | Spoofed email is harder to reject consistently. | Medium | Validate SPF/DKIM alignment and move DMARC policy toward quarantine/reject. | |
| Leavers | Leaver evidence is not consistently recorded. | Former staff access may persist after employment ends. | High | Use a starter/leaver checklist with dated evidence and owner sign-off. |

A practical sequence for fixing the most important gaps first.
4. Sample finding format
Each finding should connect evidence, business risk, and next action.
Legacy external sharing links should be reviewed and expired where no longer needed.
Evidence example: selected SharePoint locations contain externally shared links with unclear ownership and no recent review record.
Business risk: commercially sensitive files may remain accessible after a supplier, contractor, or former staff member no longer needs them.
Recommended action: identify site owners, review anonymous and external links, remove stale access, and set a recurring ownership review cadence.
