Articles and practical guides to transform your company with secure automation.
Why this blog is not another marketing blog
We write from the annual IBM, Microsoft and Coveware reports, from SAT, INAI and CNBV publications, and from the NIST, CIS and ISO frameworks. Every figure in an article traces to its primary source on the same page. We do not recycle clickbait nor invent statistics to illustrate a thesis.
The CI auditor (pnpm ddr:audit:strict) blocks any figure without a primary source before publication. Traceability is contractual, not aspirational.
ScubaGear is the PowerShell module the US Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency publishes to assess Microsoft 365 tenants against the baselines federal agencies must meet. Free, MIT-licensed, read-only. What it evaluates, the policy IDs it uses (MS.AAD.3.1v1, MS.EXO.2.2v2…), and how it sits inside the compliance ecosystem.
Read more →The CIS Microsoft 365 Foundations Benchmark v3.0 is the minimum-defensible configuration standard published by the Center for Internet Security. Not a marketing recommendation — specific controls in two levels (L1 practical, L2 robust), grouped into seven sections. What each level contains, where it differs from SCuBA and Secure Score, and why many "M365 audit" PDFs cite it incorrectly.
Read more →Microsoft Secure Score and CISA's Cross-Sector Cybersecurity Performance Goals (CPG) often appear in the same audit-report paragraph, but they answer different questions. One is relative, one absolute. One shifts with every Microsoft announcement, the other is anchored to national risk. When to cite which, and what happens when a report mixes them.
Read more →What a serious Microsoft 365 audit looks like for a Mexican mid-market SMB, the tools rigorous teams use (CIS, CISA SCuBA, ScubaGear, m365assessment, Maester, Microsoft Secure Score), what has to be in the deliverable, and why most of the PDFs circulating don't survive technical scrutiny. Specific to the Mexican context: LFPDPPP, CNBV, NOM-024.
Read more →Microsoft 365 ships primitives — policies, controls, connectors, APIs. The layer that operates them consistently, maps them to local regulation, and produces evidence for an auditor is not what Microsoft delivers. That layer is the category: operational infrastructure. Definition, what distinguishes it, and why the Mexican context makes it necessary.
