At Aerie, much of our work revolves around building and supporting solutions in Microsoft 365, from Power Apps and SharePoint Sites to Teams integrations and automation in the Power Platform. Because these tools often connect to sensitive company data, security is always spart of our design process. It’s not just about making apps that work well, it’s about making sure they’re built safely and managed responsibly across every environment.
Building Security into Everyday Work
We believe the best security doesn’t get in the way of productivity. It’s built into how people work every day.
That means making sure:
- Everyone signs in securely with multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Devices that connect to company data stay compliant and updated
- Sensitive information is protected whether it’s stored, shared, or in motion
Security works best when it feels natural. The goal isn’t to slow things down, it’s to give teams the confidence to build, collaborate, and innovate without worrying about risk.
Using Microsoft’s Built-In Protection
Microsoft gives us strong, integrated tools that help keep data safe across every project.
- Defender for Office 365 – Protects users from phishing, ransomware, and malicious attachments.
- Intune – Secures and manages endpoints to ensure only compliant, trusted devices access company resources.
- Entra ID – Enables strong identity protection with conditional access, MFA, and role-based access controls.
- Purview – Provides compliance, data loss prevention, and insider risk management to keep sensitive data secure.
When these layers work together, they create a secure foundation that protects both internal projects and client solutions, without adding unnecessary complexity.
A Culture of Security
Technology alone isn’t enough. Security at Aerie starts with people. Every team member plays a part, from how we sign in and share files to how we handle client information. We promote a mindset of curiosity and awareness, where security is part of every discussion, not something that only comes up when there’s an issue. The goal is for good security habits to feel natural in our daily work.
Always Evolving
Cybersecurity isn’t something you finish, it’s something you maintain. Microsoft’s cloud tools are always improving, and so are we. As new features roll out, we review, test, and refine how we protect our environment.
