> Your whole team on Microsoft 365. Set up properly, secured from day one.

Business email, Teams, OneDrive and the Office apps, planned for how you work, moved across without losing a message and supported by people in Harare.

## What is Microsoft 365 for business?

Microsoft 365 is Microsoft’s subscription for business email (Exchange Online), Teams meetings and chat, OneDrive and SharePoint file storage, and the Word, Excel and Outlook apps, with security built in. Surfspot chooses the right plan for each person, moves your existing email and files across, switches on the protections most businesses leave off, and supports your staff locally.

## Email in one place, files on laptops, work on WhatsApp

When files live on individual laptops, calendars are separate from email and conversations happen on personal phones, work gets lost and people waste time hunting for the latest version. One stolen password or broken laptop can expose or erase months of work. And many businesses that already pay for Microsoft 365 leave its best security switched off.

## Why it matters: the evidence

- **99.2%**: lower risk of account compromise for accounts protected by multi-factor authentication. (Source: [Microsoft Research, How effective is multifactor authentication at deterring cyberattacks? (2023)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.00945), 2023)
- **223%**: return on investment over three years for a composite 150-person business on Microsoft 365, in a Forrester study commissioned by Microsoft. (Source: [Forrester, The Total Economic Impact of Microsoft 365 for Business (2025)](https://tei.forrester.com/go/Microsoft/365Business), 2025)
- **$3.05B**: was lost to business email compromise scams in 2025, among the costliest cybercrimes recorded. (Source: [FBI IC3 2025 Internet Crime Report](https://www.ic3.gov/AnnualReport/Reports/2025_IC3Report.pdf), 2025)

## What you gain

- **Work together from anywhere**: The same files, calendars and conversations in the office, at home or on the road, on any device.
- **Protected by default**: Two-step sign-in, phishing and malware filtering and lost-device controls switched on and checked, not left as options.
- **Never lose a file again**: Files saved to OneDrive and SharePoint with version history, so a dead laptop or a bad edit is an inconvenience, not a disaster.
- **Pay for what each person needs**: The right plan for each role instead of the most expensive one for everyone, reviewed as you grow.

## Key features

- **Migration without lost mail**: Email, calendars, contacts and files move across with minimal downtime.
- **Security switched on**: MFA, DMARC, anti-phishing and device policies configured from day one.
- **Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint set up for you**: Shared folders and channels that match how your business actually works.
- **Licence management and local support**: One point of contact in Harare for billing, changes and help.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which Microsoft 365 plan does a small business need?

Most small businesses mix plans. Business Basic covers email, Teams and web apps; Business Standard adds the desktop Office apps; Business Premium adds advanced security and device management. Surfspot recommends the right plan for each role so you don’t pay for features nobody uses.

### Can you move our email to Microsoft 365 without losing anything?

Yes. We migrate mailboxes, folders, calendars and contacts from cPanel, Gmail, Google Workspace or other providers, and plan the switch so email keeps flowing throughout.

### We already have Microsoft 365. Can you still help?

Yes. Many businesses pay for Microsoft 365 but leave key protections off. We review your setup, switch on two-step sign-in and email security, tidy up licences and support your staff.

### Is Microsoft 365 secure enough for sensitive business data?

It can be, when it is configured properly. Two-step sign-in, email authentication, data loss prevention and device policies are what make the difference, and they are what Surfspot sets up as standard.
