Managed Policies & Insights for Microsoft 365
Security management for Microsoft 365 Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive allowing you to find, prioritise, fix and enforce Microsoft 365 access controls.
THE CHALLENGE
Struggling with visibility over user data and behaviour?
Giving permissions and trust by default is a dangerous feat these days. It is simple to make costly mistakes without the right information and safety precautions. Now more than ever our work relies on Microsoft Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive, so it’s critical to strike the perfect balance between collaboration and security to monitor for vulnerabilities and understand how and with whom users are collaborating. Consider the difficulties with permissions and how they can allow more access than is intended. You wouldn’t believe how permissions like this can contribute to dire industry statistics (right).
