Introducing ShareGate Protect | Microsoft 365 Governance Made Simple
See what your Microsoft 365 environment looks like in one view. This video introduces ShareGate Protect, an operational governance layer that unifies access, sharing, and workspace signals across SharePoint, Teams, Groups, and OneDrive. Watch the video for a practical look at governance at scale.
What is ShareGate Protect?
ShareGate Protect is a single, centralized console designed to simplify Microsoft 365 governance. Instead of jumping between multiple admin centers or writing PowerShell scripts, IT teams get one place to:
- See who has access to what across Microsoft 365
- Identify where sensitive files may be overshared
- Spot inactive or misconfigured teams and sites
From that same console, you can quickly fix issues—clean up oversharing, adjust permissions, archive unused workspaces, and resolve configuration problems in just a few clicks. The goal is to help you rethink and streamline governance at scale so your environment stays secure, organized, and easier to manage day to day.
How does ShareGate Protect improve security and reduce oversharing?
ShareGate Protect focuses on giving you clear visibility and fast remediation so you can reduce risk without adding complexity.
Key ways it helps improve security and control oversharing include:
- Unified visibility: Instantly see who has access to which resources, where external sharing is enabled, and where sensitive files might be exposed.
- Oversharing cleanup: Identify and fix overshared content, tightening access where needed.
- Permissions management: Adjust permissions directly from the console, without PowerShell or multiple admin tools.
- Inactive and misconfigured workspaces: Find and archive unused teams or sites and correct misconfigurations that could lead to data exposure.
By surfacing issues and making them easy to fix, ShareGate Protect helps you reshape how you manage access control, external sharing, and data exposure across Microsoft 365.
What role does AI play in ShareGate Protect?
ShareGate Protect uses AI to guide you toward the governance actions that matter most, so you spend less time guessing where to start.
With AI-powered recommendations, you can:
- See which policies or reviews should be prioritized
- Focus on the highest-impact security and cleanup tasks
- Keep your environment secure, organized, and ready for tools like Microsoft Copilot
Instead of manually combing through reports, AI helps you reimagine your governance workflow by highlighting what needs attention and suggesting next steps. This makes it easier to keep Microsoft 365 secure, tidy, and Copilot-ready without adding extra complexity for your IT team.
