Microsoft 365 Security and Compliance Offerings

Microsoft 365 Security and Compliance

Let us take a look at some of the headliners for Security & Compliance services that are bundled with the Microsoft 365 cloud platform.

Identity and Threat Protection

This is used to manage and monitor user accounts against credentials with unauthorized use. Uses machine learning to identify strange or suspicious behavior know to be used by cybers threats. With Advanced Threat Protection or ATP, you extend this monitoring to desktops, email and servers as well.

Information Protection and Compliance

With Information Protection and Compliance, this is more oriented towards controlling the use of data with policy. Enforcing file encryption while blocking sensitive data from exiting the IT boundaries. This also includes tools for risk assessment and compliance scoring.

Azure Information Protection

This will help to classify and protect documents and emails by applying labels. These labels can be defined and used with rules and conditions either automatically or manually.

Licencing can be tricky to follow as Microsoft does make changes.
