01 / HOW DEX WORKS

A weekly check.
A clear explanation.
A practical next step.

  1. Connect your Microsoft environment. Read only.

    Dex always uses read only access to Microsoft 365 and Azure. It can inspect your setup, but cannot change settings, edit data, or remove resources.

  2. Dex looks for risks and wasted spend.

    Unnecessary app permissions, forgotten resources, stale access, and licences you may no longer need.

  3. You get a specific action for each finding.

    What was found, the evidence behind it, and what to check or change. Written so you or your IT provider can act on it.

More than one angle on the same finding.

The pilot is designed to use different AI models to examine findings from security, access, and cost perspectives, and cross-check the recommendations.

Read only. Always. Dex reviews and recommends. You or your IT provider make any changes.
02 / REAL FINDINGS

The things that
get left behind.

These findings from real Microsoft 365 and Azure reviews are the reason I’m building Dex. Small details with real consequences.

MICROSOFT 365 / APP ACCESS

The migration finished.
The access didn’t.

Old Office 365 migration apps still had full read and write access to mailboxes, long after their original job was done.

The next moveConfirm the app is no longer used, then revoke the mailbox permissions it no longer needs.
AZURE / UNUSED RESOURCES
$200 / month

Empty plans.
A very real bill.

A recent review found unused Azure resources, including empty App Service plans, costing about $200 a month.

The next moveCheck the plans have no apps or dependencies, then remove the unused resources and verify the billing change.
MICROSOFT 365 / LICENCES

They left the company.
The licences stayed.

Licences were still assigned to former employees. Offboarding had left paid seats behind.

The next moveConfirm offboarding and data retention requirements, then reclaim licences that are no longer needed.

Real findings, shared without identifying the organisations. The steps above are recommendations; savings and fixes depend on the environment.

Firsthand experience
“In my experience, Dex has replaced two IT security specialists.”
03 / WHAT YOU GET

“Here’s the issue.
Here’s how to fix it.”

A useful review names the affected app, account, or resource. It explains the risk or cost and gives you the steps to take. You shouldn’t need to decode a score to decide what to do.

EXAMPLE FINDINGMICROSOFT 365
WHAT DEX FLAGSA retired migration app can still read and write mailboxes.The migration may be over, but its permissions still allow access to email.
WHAT THE REVIEW SHOULD SHOWThe app name, its granted mailbox permissions, and the evidence to check before changing access.
YOUR NEXT STEPS
  1. Confirm with the app owner that the migration is complete and the app is no longer needed.
  2. Review and revoke its unnecessary mailbox permissions.
  3. Verify the required workflows still work and record the change.
