David,
Just get it so that the main SharePoint page does not display that ambiguous message of "Sorry, you don't have access" and a lot of white space. Some cosmetics to it, to enhance the main page look and feel. Ideally redirecting to Sharepoint.aspx so that they can see the tiles and latest SP sites, our SP is only for users who have logged in. Should the main page ( https://sample.sharepoint.com/) be anonymous access? Thanks again,

- David, do you have a particular site that I should refer to for SharePoint best security practice or a book?
