M365 Permissions & External Sharing Review Toolkit

Product Description

Review Microsoft 365 access, guest accounts, external sharing, and permission risks with a structured toolkit designed to support cleanup and remediation planning.

The M365 Permissions & External Sharing Review Toolkit helps IT and governance teams document access concerns, identify high-risk permissions, assess external sharing practices, and prioritize corrective actions.
