Replacing ageing hardware doesn’t have to mean a full refresh all at once.

A phased rollout can be a practical way to upgrade your hardware while keeping costs manageable. By replacing one device type at a time over a planned period, we can spread the investment, reduce disruption, and improve reliability without a large lump sum investment.

It’s a smarter way to stay ahead of ageing hardware and avoid the risks that come with waiting to do one big refresh every 3-5 years. Not to mention keeping your team happy with modern devices and great performance.

At FordhamIT, we take a holistic approach to your IT and cybersecurity. Our goal is to remove the burden from you and your team, becoming a trusted partner and familiar face who understands your business. We build strong relationships with your staff and encourage a culture where everyone feels comfortable reaching out with questions or concerns. There are no silly questions. We promote openness, collaboration, and a strong security mindset in everything we do.

Secure by default should be the starting point, not the end goal. For small and medium Australian businesses using Microsoft 365, a few baseline settings can significantly reduce your risk from day one.

These include:
• Multi Factor Authentication
• A basic set of Conditional Access Policies
• Disabling legacy authentication
• Enabling Audit logging
• Mailbox forwarding controls

These aren’t advanced security measures, they’re practical defaults that should be enabled on every tenant to help strengthen your environment and reduce threat exposure.
If your Microsoft 365 tenant hasn’t been reviewed in a while, it may be worth checking whether these basics are in place for your business.

“Everyone has access” feels convenient… until it becomes a breach multiplier.
Shared mailboxes and SharePoint sites usually start with good intentions but over time permissions can get out of hand.

Over time, this turns into:
• Too many staff with access to sensitive client emails and documents
• External sharing links that haven't been used for months
• Former staff and vendors still able to see “old” content

Practical reccomendations:
• Set owners for each shared mailbox and SharePoint site
• Grant access via groups, not individuals
• Default to read-only access and sharing unless someone truly needs to send/edit
• Review access regularly
• Audit and remove stale sharing links and guest access
• Turn on MFA and conditional access to reduce account takeover risk

If you are not sure who can access a shared mailbox or site, the risk is already hiding in the background.

“backup” is not the same as “recovery”. The first time you discover a restore doesn’t work shouldn't be the day you need it.

If you’re not sure when your last successful restore test was, that’s a good place to start.

What we recommend for every business:
• Regular restore testing (not once a year, not “when we get time”)
• Clear targets for RPO (how much data you can lose) and RTO (how long you can be down)
• Clear collaboration with Manager and Business Owners

“How often should I change my password?” is one of the most common security questions.
If you’re using strong, unique passwords, current guidance is that you should only change passwords when there is a reason to believe an account is at risk or has been compromised.

Forced, frequent password changes tend to create bad habits:
• Predictable patterns (Businessname2025!, Businessname2025!!, etc.)
• Reuse across multiple systems and accounts
• More password resets and workarounds from teams

What to do instead:
• Use a password manager to generate and store unique passwords
• Turn on MFA everywhere you can
• Change passwords immediately when risk is detected, and for any accounts that reused the same password

Are you still running forced password expiry in your environment?

End-of-life software is a business risk. When a platform becomes EOL, you don’t just lose features.

You lose:
• Security coverage (no patches, higher breach risk)
• Compliance posture (audits get harder, exceptions pile up)
• Insurance leverage (security questionnaires and claims much are harder)
• Operational uptime (outages take longer to fix, vendors stop helping)

Upgrade planning is not just about new features but should be framed as:
• Reducing downtime
• Protecting insurability
• Maintaining compliance
• Maintaining support when things break or specialised help is needed

You need to take a proactive collaborative approach with your IT partner. Put EOL dates on the same calendar as your renewals and audits.

How are you tracking EOL across your stack right now?
