All Microsoft 365 products and services are now operational
We are deeply sorry for the disruption this incident has caused our customers and partners. We know the trust they place in our services and take that responsibility extremely seriously. We are seeing broad recovery and stability across our services.
This was a technical issue not related to cyber or AI / agents. The incident was introduced by an issue during an earlier network capacity upgrade that surfaced following a recent network change. We have addressed the underlying issue and continue to restore service to remaining customers and regions.
Given the scale of demand, we restored services gradually, validating stability at each stage. While this took longer, it helped ensure a stable restoration.
We will provide a full post-incident report once our review is complete.

A quick question for UK SMEs:
If ransomware hit tomorrow, would you know (with confidence) your RTO and RPO?
In plain English:
RTO = how quickly you need systems back
RPO = how much data you can afford to lose
If those aren’t written down and tested, you’re guessing under pressure.

Remote access is brilliant for productivity. Businesses and employees were not able to continue working during Covid without a RWP (remote working policy).
But, it's also one of the easiest ways attackers get in if remote access is not locked down properly.
A solid baseline usually includes MFA, device compliance checks, and conditional access rules that match how your team actually works.

One of the fastest ways to reduce cyber risk in Microsoft 365 is to tighten access governance.
If you can't quickly answer:
Who has access to what?
Which accounts are privileged?
Which users are inactive but still enabled?
You're carrying unnecessary risk.

A good IT QBR (Quarterly Business Review) shouldn’t be a box-ticking meeting.
For SMEs in London, Hertfordshire and Manchester, it should answer:

What’s still risky?
What’s the plan for the next 90 days?
