How to govern Security in Microsoft 365
A step-by-step guide to governing Security in Microsoft 365 with Rencore: detect, review by owner and severity, and remediate with an audit trail.
Governing Security in Microsoft 365 means finding where it goes wrong, reviewing the findings by owner and severity, and remediating with an audit trail. Rencore covers this concern for Microsoft 365 with the pre-built controls below, so it becomes a repeatable check rather than a one-off cleanup. The steps that follow apply the same detect, review, remediate loop to Security.
Steps
-
Inventory Microsoft 365
Connect Microsoft 365 and let Rencore build a continuous inventory of its resources, owners, and configuration, so governance starts from what exists rather than a stale export.
-
Detect with policies
Turn on the pre-built policies that cover Security in Microsoft 365 to surface oversharing, sprawl, and misconfiguration on the first scan, before writing a single custom rule.
-
Review by owner and severity
Use the Microsoft 365 reports to review findings by owner, category, and severity, and to share them with stakeholders who do not have a seat in the platform.
-
Remediate and automate
Apply automations to fix findings at scale, route sensitive changes through approvals, and keep every action reversible and logged for the audit trail.
