This blog is part of a series that responds to common questions we receive from customers about deployment of Microsoft 365 security solutions. In this series, you’ll find context, answers, and guidance for deployment and driving adoption within your organization. Check out our last blog First Things First: Envisioning Your Security Deployment.

In our previous blog post, we covered how FastTrack for Microsoft 365 can help you envision a successful Microsoft 365 security deployment. Now, we’ll cover the next phase of our three-phase planning approach: Onboard. This is where you move from strategy and objectives to the practical details of your deployment planning.

The Onboard phase is a critical time to remove any blockers you have, clean up any issues that might prevent your preferred deployment approach, and then start setting up services and users that integrate with your environment. The FastTrack team can help coordinate the setup, configuration, and provisioning of many of your Microsoft 365 services.

We will cover how to Drive Value with FastTrack for Microsoft 365 in our next blog. But first…

Your onboard checklist

The following checklist provides some of the items and actions that our FastTrack team can help you work through during the Onboard phase:

Network and Client

Identity

Access Management

Mobile Device Management (MDM)
