Why Start Here
Before Armorstack proposes a managed IT plan, migration path, or security control set, we baseline what’s actually running today. Most mid-market environments carry undocumented legacy systems, inconsistent patching, and shadow cloud spend that never made it into an inventory. Core Baseline is the working session that identifies those gaps across the agreed review scope — so the plan we build afterward is sized to your real environment, not a template.
What Gets Reviewed
Five baseline areas
Endpoints & identity
Device inventory, patch currency, and account/access hygiene.
Network
Topology, segmentation, and firmware/EOL exposure on core hardware.
Cloud & SaaS footprint
What’s provisioned, what’s licensed, and what’s actually in use.
Backup & DR
Recovery point/time reality versus what’s documented on paper.
Microsoft 365 configuration
Tenant security defaults, licensing fit, and admin sprawl.
Know what you’re actually running
A Core engineer walks your environment with you and documents what’s real. No fabricated score, no generic checklist — a working inventory you can act on.
