Find old forgotten shares

Detect accidents & misuse

Prevent data breaches

You need an easy way to discover what is shared in your SharePoint and OneDrive for Business document libraries.

Microsoft 365 makes it super easy to share files and folders.

Unfortunately it’s also super easy for users to share carelessly… risking data breach and making it impossible for administrators to control.

Here are 4 main problems with the lack of reporting and visibility.

Problem: Shares are often created but rarely revoked

Too busy, or too forgetful? We can't blame users.

Users need to get things done. And they'll take the shortest path to get there. Who has time to remember to revoke a share?

And the recommended solution - creating shares that expire - is not always possible, especially in ongoing collaborations.

The result? Shares accumulate. But we can't blame users. The system is against them.

Problem: Anonymous sharing via links promotes carelessness

Anonymous links — easy but risky.

So many users share documents via anonymous link. That way, the recipient does not need a Microsoft account.

And sometimes it’s necessary.

However, such links are a magnet for data breaches. And that's not good for anyone.

Problem: People leave the company, but sharing remains

Do you know the historical actions of former employees?

Of course not. No one does!

So how do you know what data they shared? It's extremely difficult to tell!

Let's make sure former employees don't cause new data breaches after they have left.

Problem: Historical shares expose future data

No one can predict the future.

If you share a directory today, you know what you're sharing.

But if you or other users add new files to that directory, they also get shared - often unintentionally.

A data breach is only an accidental drag & drop away...

How do you solve these problems with Microsoft's built-in tools?

Imagine if you could solve these problems easily.

What would that mean to you?

  • Your organization can more easily avoid a data breach, and comply with laws such as GDPR.
  • You’d save countless hours manually browsing your document libraries, trying to figure out what’s shared in SharePoint and OneDrive for Business.

Sorry - just kidding!!!

Because we don't think it's possible...

Even if you examine the audit log, you'll only see the last year's activities.

So unless you do lots of scripting yourself, or get some 3rd party help, you're stuck.

But there is a better way - read on to discover more.
