How long does the Microsoft 365 Tenant Health Check take?
The standard duration for this assessment is 2-3 business days. Exact scheduling and turnaround should be confirmed with IT Partner, because timing may depend on access, tenant complexity, and availability.
What happens during the Tenant Health Check engagement?
IT Partner performs a standardized automated review of your Microsoft 365 tenant across security, licensing, identity, admin hygiene, configuration, and common misconfiguration areas. The engagement concludes with a report that prioritizes findings and recommends next steps, rather than making changes directly to your environment.
Does the Tenant Health Check make changes to our Microsoft 365 tenant?
No changes are described as part of this service. The Tenant Health Check is an assessment and reporting engagement, so remediation, configuration changes, and implementation work would need to be handled separately if needed.
Will the Tenant Health Check cause downtime or affect users?
No downtime is expected from the stated scope, because the service is an automated assessment and does not include tenant changes or migration activity. IT Partner should still confirm the exact assessment method and any access requirements before work begins.
What Microsoft 365 areas are assessed?
The assessment reviews tenant configuration, security posture, Microsoft Secure Score, licensing assignment and utilization, identity and admin hygiene, and common misconfigurations. These areas are used to identify prioritized findings across security, licensing, and configuration.
Does the assessment include Microsoft Secure Score review?
Yes, Microsoft Secure Score is specifically included in the Tenant Health Check. The Secure Score review contributes to the broader view of security posture and helps identify recommended improvements.
Does the Tenant Health Check review Microsoft 365 licensing?
Yes, the service includes a review of licensing assignment and utilization. The goal is to identify licensing-related findings as part of the overall tenant health report, but the service description does not state that it includes procurement changes or license contract analysis.
Does the Tenant Health Check include identity and administrator hygiene?
Yes, identity and admin hygiene are included in the automated review. This helps surface common risks or misconfigurations related to accounts, administrative access, and tenant management practices.
What is not included in the free Tenant Health Check?
Custom, tailored analysis with in-depth recommendations and report iterations is not included in the free Tenant Health Check. That deeper level of analysis is available through the separate paid Tenant Optimization Assessment.
Is remediation included after the findings are delivered?
No, remediation is not included in the stated scope of the free Tenant Health Check. The report provides recommended improvements and next steps, and those findings can create a path into a deeper optimization or remediation engagement if warranted.
How detailed is the Tenant Health Check report?
The report is standardized and focused on prioritized findings, recommended improvements, and next steps across security, licensing, and configuration. It is not positioned as a custom consulting report with multiple iterations or in-depth tailored analysis.
What prerequisites are required for the Tenant Health Check?
The provided service information does not list specific prerequisites, permissions, or required client inputs. Because the assessment reviews tenant configuration and related Microsoft 365 data, you should confirm the exact access and permission requirements with IT Partner before the assessment begins.
What are IT Partner’s responsibilities during the service?
The source information does not list detailed IT Partner responsibilities beyond performing the automated tenant review and providing the standardized report. Based on the stated scope, IT Partner assesses the tenant and delivers prioritized findings, recommended improvements, and clear next steps.
What are the client’s responsibilities during the service?
The source information does not define specific client responsibilities. In practice, the client should confirm required access, provide any requested tenant information, and review the final report, but the exact responsibilities should be confirmed with IT Partner.
What happens after the Tenant Health Check is complete?
After completion, your organization receives the standardized report with prioritized findings and recommended next steps. If the findings show that deeper work is needed, the assessment can lead naturally into a paid optimization or remediation engagement.
Does the Tenant Health Check guarantee that our Microsoft 365 tenant is secure or compliant?
No, the service is an assessment and reporting engagement, not a guarantee of security, compliance, or risk elimination. It provides an objective view of tenant health and prioritized recommendations so your organization can decide what improvements to pursue.
