In my production environment some SharePoint sites automatically blocked
To audit who blocked the SharePoint sites, you can use the audit log in Microsoft Purview. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/audit-searchhttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/audit-searchhttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/audit-solutions-overview:
- Sign in to the Microsoft 365 compliance site using an account that has been assigned the appropriate audit permissions.
- In the left navigation pane of the compliance portal, click “Show all” and then click “Audit”.
- On the Audit page, configure the search using the necessary conditions.
