Microsoft IT's (Not) Secret Principles to Managing OneDrive
1️⃣ Self-Service with Guardrails
Empower users to create, share and collaborate without IT intervention, and use built-in security measures (such as access reviews, labels, and more) to ensure data is kept secure
2️⃣ Trust-but-Verify Model
Trust employees to handle data responsibly, but use tools like Data Loss Prevention policies to scan for sensitive information and quarantine risky files.
3️⃣ Lifecycle & Expiration Management
Use features like automated site expiration to prevent content sprawl and keep your company's data estate clean.
4️⃣ Default Security & Smart Labeling
Implement and use common-sense labels to organize and secure content.
5️⃣ The Key to Microsoft’s IT Success? Balance.
Security and usability must go hand in hand. Striking the right balance is critical!
