Microsoft 365 Lighthouse is the MSP management portal for Microsoft 365 — giving a single view across all client tenants. Here's how Optimyze uses it to maintain security standards across every client.
Key takeaways
- 1Tenants at risk — clients with low Secure Scores, unresolved Defender alerts, or risky users flagged in Identity Protection
- 2Device compliance — aggregate view of Intune-enrolled devices across all clients, with non-compliant devices highlighted
- 3User management — MFA registration rates, blocked sign-ins, and guest account status across all tenants
- 4Service health — Microsoft 365 service incidents affecting client tenants
- 5Risky users — consolidated view of Identity Protection flags across all clients
Microsoft 365 Lighthouse is a purpose-built portal for MSPs managing multiple Microsoft 365 tenants. It provides a unified view of security posture, compliance status, user risk, and service health across all managed clients — eliminating the need to log into each tenant separately for routine reviews.
What Lighthouse shows
- Tenants at risk — clients with low Secure Scores, unresolved Defender alerts, or risky users flagged in Identity Protection
- Device compliance — aggregate view of Intune-enrolled devices across all clients, with non-compliant devices highlighted
- User management — MFA registration rates, blocked sign-ins, and guest account status across all tenants
- Service health — Microsoft 365 service incidents affecting client tenants
- Risky users — consolidated view of Identity Protection flags across all clients
Deployment baselines
Lighthouse includes deployment baselines — a set of recommended Microsoft 365 security configurations that Optimyze uses as the standard for every managed client. We can compare each client's current configuration against the baseline and identify gaps with a single click. New Conditional Access policies or Intune configuration updates can be pushed to multiple tenants from the Lighthouse console.
Why this matters to clients
The operational efficiency Lighthouse provides is one reason Optimyze can maintain high security standards across all managed clients without proportionally increasing headcount. Our engineers have visibility across every client tenant in real time — meaning a newly identified threat or a Microsoft security bulletin triggers a review across all clients, not a slow sequential process of logging into each one separately.
