Open marketplaces optimise for volume and price. Security work fails on both. Every Defender is reviewed by Defend 365 before they can offer services through the platform, and matching is based on the actual finding rather than a keyword search.

Completed work is re-tested and your framework evidence updates itself.
Specialisms
Depth in the places Microsoft 365 actually breaks.
