Every Audit looks at five areas

Access and sharing

Who can access your information, including guests and external collaborators, and whether that access is still appropriate.

Unused and unowned workspaces

Inactive Teams, ownerless SharePoint sites and content nobody is actively managing.

Ownership and lifecycle

How Teams and sites are created, owned, reviewed and retired.

AI, Copilot and agents

Whether your permissions and controls are ready for wider AI use, including agents and Power Platform.

Security foundations

The identity and admin controls supporting Microsoft 365, including MFA, privileged access and conditional access.

What you receive

A clear view of where the environment stands, what matters and what should happen next.

You receive findings backed by evidence, with clear priorities rather than a long list of technical observations.

We separate genuine control and governance concerns from things that are simply worth tidying up.

What we actually find

The Audit is based on evidence from the environment, not assumptions about what might be wrong.

53%

of SharePoint sites inactive in one regulated environment.

142

live “Anyone” sharing links identified in one tenant.

262

guest accounts identified in another environment, with only 28 active.

17,550

items with broken permission inheritance identified during one assessment.

Not every tenant is in poor shape. In another recent assessment, external sharing was well controlled and the Microsoft Secure Score was strong. The useful findings were around inactive workspaces, guest review and missing lifecycle controls. The point of the Audit is to establish what actually needs attention.

Two levels of M365 Audit

Both cover the same five areas. The difference is the depth of evidence, analysis and output.

What we need from you

We keep the Audit as light on your team as possible.

Before starting, we agree the evidence required, the access needed and who we will work with on your side.

We confirm the expected timescale and any input needed from your team before you commit.

Relevant evidence We use Microsoft 365 configuration and governance evidence to understand what is actually happening in the environment.

Why OfficeLabs

OfficeLabs has worked with Microsoft 365 and its predecessors since 2012.

Our focus is information management, governance and control, particularly for organisations where information risk and compliance matter.

We regularly work alongside internal IT teams and MSPs. We do not need to replace either of them to help you get Microsoft 365 under control.

What happens after the Audit?

The findings are yours to act on.

You can work through the priorities internally, with your existing IT partner, or ask OfficeLabs to help with the areas that need attention.

Where ongoing governance is required, we can also help put the controls in place to keep Microsoft 365 manageable over time.

Where you ask OfficeLabs to help with remediation, we work directly from the Audit findings rather than starting another discovery exercise.
