This is the workspace you get, screen by screen. The figures below belong to a made-up company, Harbourline Design Ltd, so you can see what a real account looks like without signing up.

1. Your cloud services, scored

Every service your staff sign in to is listed with its multi-factor status and the date you last checked it. The readiness score moves as you fix things.
