Best Practices for Managing Office 365 and SharePoint Security and Compliance

Tip 1

Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to Office 365 and SharePoint. Enabling MFA for all users in your organisation can help prevent unauthorised access.

Tip 2

Limit Access to Sensitive Data: Limit access to sensitive data by assigning permissions only to those who need it. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to assign specific roles to users based on their job function.

Tip 3

Use Strong Passwords and Enforce Password Policies: Require users to use strong passwords and enforce password policies that require periodic password changes. This can help prevent password-based attacks.

Tip 4

Keep Software Up to Date: Keep Office 365 software up to date with the latest security patches and updates. Regularly review security advisories and apply updates as soon as possible.

Tip 5

Conduct Security Training: Educate users on best security practices and conduct regular security training sessions. This can help prevent accidental data leaks and phishing attacks. Get in touch with us at SR1 Development if you would like us to handle your Office 365 and SharePoint Security and best practices training.

Tip 6

Conduct Regular Security Audits: Consider hiring a third-party company, such as us at SR1 Development, to review your security processes and conduct regular security audits. This can help identify vulnerabilities in your Office 365 and SharePoint environment and provide recommendations for improving your company’s security.

By following these best practices, you can help ensure that your Office 365 and SharePoint environment is secure and protected from cyber threats. If you need help implementing any of these security practices, or if you’re interested in conducting a security audit, get in touch with us at SR1 Development. Our team of experts can provide you with the necessary guidance and support to help safeguard your organisation’s sensitive information.
