Conducting an audit is a good way to review key aspects within a business - be it in finances, HR or other sectors. Auditing allows users to learn more about their processes and can be used to improve and better manage the user experience and the way things are used.

Many things can be audited (including Microsoft 365 Software) and performing one can provide great benefits to your company and business.

Why Conduct a Microsoft 365 Audit?

There are many great benefits and reasons to conduct an audit in Microsoft 365, as it can provide a lot of interesting information that can be used to improve various aspects of the software. An audit can review how the software is used and therefore can be a great avenue for people to better manage their user experience by implementing better customization features. It can also be used to mitigate risk as you can monitor if there have been any malpractices and identify key perpetrators. This allows you to focus your training and make individuals use the software more effectively and safely.

What Can an Audit Do?

A Microsoft 365 Audit can do a lot of different things, but it’s most effective at compiling reports that track its use. It can track user and administrative activity – so an audit can help owners keep tabs on workers to ensure that they’re being effective and productive when working on tasks. It can, for instance, track changes that have occurred in Exchange Online and SharePoint Online configuration settings - with this information then being used to provide a more customized experience. It can also identify changes made by various users to documents and other items within the 365 banner, such as schedules, meetings and emails.

Security Benefits

Conducting an audit on Microsoft 365 can help improve your business’s general security, as it can identify a multitude of issues and problems that can lead to breaches. An audit allows you to manage permissions and allocate which users are allowed to perform certain tasks - which can allow you to boost security. You can additionally manage your alerts during an audit such as viewing your security-related alerts. The best way to do this is through the cloud, which is provided by avepoint.com, creating greater accessibility.

Another great security perk of auditing Microsoft 365 is that you’re able to conduct threat management. This allows you to create and apply policies (such as data loss prevention policies) as well as configuring email filtering - using anti-malware, safe attachment settings and safe email links - to prevent the installation of malware on your devices and network.

Conducting a Microsoft 365 audit also enables the user to effectively govern their data, such as setting retention policies for email and other content within your organization. You can also search and investigate the program, allowing you to locate specific content as well as audit logs to quickly drill into activity across your mailboxes, groups and public folders within your business.
