Understand, Manage and Secure Your SharePoint Environment
IT professionals who manage SharePoint need to know the location of SharePoint sites, how they are used and how often, who is accessing them and how they are affecting the overall IT environment. In addition, SharePoint security and compliance is a major concern for many administrators, especially in industries with strict compliance regulations, such as healthcare, financial, and government. Unorganized permission assignments and a lack of central enforcement of security policies has left many organizations at risk. Plus, because it’s nearly impossible to track changes within SharePoint with native tools, additional security and compliance concerns can arise. As more organizations continue to use SharePoint for content management and collaboration, auditing this platform will become even more critical in order to maintain internal security controls and meet external auditing regulation requirements.
