Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) continuously assesses and hardens Microsoft 365 identity environments by evaluating configurations, permissions, and policies against a security baseline. Unlike one-time audits or visibility-only tools, ISPM addresses 'drift' — the gradual degradation of security posture as users, roles, and Microsoft defaults change over time. Huntress data shows over 60% of evaluated tenants were missing more than half of recommended controls, and 55% allowed standard users to perform admin-level functions. Key risks include weak MFA, overprivileged accounts, and stale permissions that enable account takeover and BEC attacks. Microsoft data shows attackers can move laterally within 48 minutes of initial intrusion, making daily scan cycles insufficient. Huntress Managed ISPM addresses this by deploying and enforcing controls continuously, detecting drift within minutes of a change, and offering a Learning Mode to preview user impact before policy rollout.
