Adam Grimes

We brought in Adam to harden a client’s Microsoft 365 ahead of a urgent ISO 27001 audit, using the latest CIS guidance as the baseline. From the first call he was calm, structured and very clear on what mattered versus what was just noise. He ran a short, focused assessment, then walked us through a sensible plan: clean up admin roles, lock down sign‑in paths, tune email protections and sharing, and make sure we had the right audit trails. Implementation was smooth and respectful of our change control—no surprises, no heroic late nights. For privileged steps he worked via screen‑share with our team, talked us through the why, and left everything documented. The result is exactly what you want before an audit: identities and access tightened without breaking daily work, email security that actually catches the bad stuff, sensible sharing defaults, and clear, auditor‑ready evidence (before/after, change log, screenshots, rationale). He also helped us line up the CIS items with ISO Annex A so our narrative is consistent. I’m picky (my remit spans Digital Workspace & Security and I’m hands‑on in Purview/Intune/Sentinel for enterprise environments that have to pass ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials). Adam exceeded the bar, practical, composed, a expert in all aspects of Microsoft 365 and Security and genuinely partner‑minded. We’ll use him again!
