Moving to the Cloud Doesn't Mean Your Data Is Safe
Microsoft, Google, and AWS secure their infrastructure — but you're responsible for securing your data, accounts, and configurations on top of it. Bellator fills that gap with cloud-specific security controls.

Cloud Security That Covers Every Layer
Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace Security
MFA enforcement, conditional access policies, secure email gateway, and anti-phishing controls for your productivity suite.
Cloud Access Security (CASB)
Visibility into all SaaS applications in use — including unauthorized shadow IT. Control what employees can upload, download, and share.
Cloud Backup
Microsoft and Google do not back up your data — that's your responsibility. We add a dedicated backup layer to protect email, files, and collaboration data.
Identity & Access Management
Zero-trust access policies, privileged access management, and single sign-on (SSO) to control who accesses what and when.
Configuration Audits
Misconfigured cloud settings are the #1 cause of cloud breaches. We audit your tenant configurations against CIS benchmarks and remediate gaps.
Incident Response for Cloud
Account takeovers and data leaks require cloud-specific response. Our team handles Microsoft 365 compromises and cloud forensics.
Cloud Security FAQs
Microsoft 365 includes basic protections, but many critical controls — advanced anti-phishing, data loss prevention, conditional access, and cloud app security — require higher-tier licenses (E3/E5) or third-party tools. Even with E5, you still need someone to configure and monitor these controls.
Account takeover is when an attacker gains access to your Microsoft 365 or Google account using stolen credentials — often acquired via phishing or password reuse. They then use your account to send phishing emails, access files, or initiate wire transfers. Business email compromise (BEC) costs businesses $2.9B per year (FBI IC3).
Yes. OneDrive sync is not a backup — if ransomware encrypts your local files, they sync to OneDrive, overwriting clean versions. Microsoft retains deleted items and version history for only 30-93 days. True backup requires a separate vault outside the Microsoft ecosystem.
