Technical Sales Consultant, CYBERWHITE
Vikram is a Technical Sales Consultant at CYBERWHITE with a hands-on background in Microsoft 365 security and compliance. As a technical engineer at Concentrix, a Microsoft partner, he represented Microsoft and supported its customers across Office 365 Security and Compliance and Exchange Online: building data loss prevention and retention policies in Microsoft Purview, configuring email authentication with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, and remediating risk straight from the Azure and Microsoft 365 security dashboards that compliance assessments rely on.
That work maps directly onto what CYBERWHITE does. Australia's core frameworks, the Essential 8 (ML1 to ML3) and SMB1001, are largely implemented and evidenced inside Microsoft 365: identity and multi-factor authentication, conditional access, email security, data protection, and administrative controls. These are the same areas Vikram configured and remediated in live Microsoft tenants. Because he has done the hands-on work, he reads a compliance requirement as concrete settings, policies, and dashboard evidence rather than an abstract checklist, and he knows what an assessor expects to see.
At CYBERWHITE he turns that experience into clear, practical guidance, mapping dense Essential 8 and SMB1001 requirements to the specific Microsoft 365 and security controls that satisfy them, so Australian businesses can get audit-ready faster. Every article he publishes is reviewed for technical accuracy by CYBERWHITE's founder, Pardeep Sharma.
