In a compromised Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant we revoke sessions and tokens, remove attacker MFA methods, inbox rules, forwarding and app grants, preserve the audit logs, and scope what data was read or sent. For ransomware we isolate affected machines without destroying evidence, verify backups before restoring and rebuild from known-good images. Where hands-on work is needed, we coordinate it as part of the response.
