The full Microsoft Cloud stack.

As a verified Microsoft CSP, we handle licensing, deployment, hardening, and ongoing management for every layer of the Microsoft Cloud.

Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 — Deployment & Management

Business Basic, Standard, and Premium — licensed through our CSP relationship and deployed correctly from day one. Exchange Online hardening, Defender for Office 365, Entra ID, Intune MDM, and Teams governance included.

Microsoft Azure

Microsoft Azure — Cloud Architecture & Migration

Cloud architecture, workload migration, and hybrid infrastructure design built around your organization's specific requirements — not a templated deployment that ignores your existing environment.

Microsoft Security

Microsoft Security — Defense in Depth

Defender for Office 365, Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Sentinel, and Entra ID Identity Protection — configured and governed to CISA SCuBA baselines and CIS Benchmarks, not factory defaults.

Cybersecurity

Incident Response & Breach Remediation

Active account compromise, phishing incidents, and breach remediation handled in under 48 hours with zero downtime. A validated response workflow — not a generic playbook.

Infrastructure

Cloud Migration & Infrastructure Governance

Cloud migration, cloud repatriation, networking, backup, and Unified Communications — designed around a structured placement methodology that ensures the right workload lands in the right environment.

Advisory

Technology Strategy & CIO Advisory

IT roadmaps, vendor-neutral platform selection, and fractional CIO services for organizations that need strategic technology leadership without a full-time hire.

Three commitments on every engagement.

These are not marketing statements. They are the operating principles behind every client engagement 4TH AND BAILEY has ever delivered.

01
Every engagement is built on expertise.

4TH AND BAILEY brings enterprise-grade depth to every client — regardless of organization size. The firm you engage is the firm that does the work, from the first conversation through delivery.

02
Every recommendation is vendor-neutral.

4TH AND BAILEY is an authorized Microsoft CSP and Google Partner. The right platform is recommended based on fit — and that has included migrating clients away from Microsoft when a different platform was the better answer.

03
Every deployment is framework-aligned.

CISA SCuBA, NIST SP 800-53, MITRE ATT&CK, and CIS Benchmarks on every engagement — regardless of client size. Enterprise-grade governance standards are the baseline here, not a premium add-on.

The Infrastructure Placement Framework.

A vendor-neutral governance framework for cloud migration, cybersecurity resilience, AI governance, and BYOD strategy.

Infrastructure Placement Framework — v1.0.0

Built and maintained by 4TH AND BAILEY, the Infrastructure Placement Framework is an eight-module, NIST-aligned enterprise IT governance framework published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. It addresses the three questions most organizations cannot answer before a crisis: which workload belongs in which environment, how do we protect it, and how do we recover when something goes wrong.
