Securing SharePoint and OneDrive

SharePoint and OneDrive hold much of an organisation's working data. Sharing, access and retention settings determine whether that data stays where it belongs.

Why it matters

The quiet risk is oversharing. A link set to anyone can expose planning documents or personal information far beyond its intended audience.

Where Intelligence Group fits

  • Default external sharing to the tightest setting that still works
  • Prefer expiring links to open, permanent ones
  • Apply sensitivity labels to protect important documents
  • Review who has access to high-value sites
  • Set retention so data is neither lost nor kept too long
Where Intelligence Group fits

Intelligence Group rates this strategy from the evidence your organisation already generates, reports the maturity level it supports, and sets out the next step to lift it.
