Security CheckUp: Simplifying risk review in M365

In a Microsoft 365 environment where risks linked to access, sharing and configurations are constantly increasing, security teams struggle to control everything. Users often lack the visibility and tools to act effectively.
To address these challenges, IDECSI has designed the Security CheckUp, a simple and educational tool that transforms the risk review into a clear, rapid and engaging process.

On the agenda:



Security CheckUp: Essential for review campaigns in M365

 

Faced with exponential data growth and increasingly open collaborative environments, it is essential that organisations find the right balance between security and collaboration.
An owner review of rights is a critical part of securing M365 data. Security CheckUp, integrated into the MyDataSecurity interface, simplifies this process by

  • highlighting critical points via the MyDataSecurity “red dots”,
  • explaining the risks to the user in real terms,
  • allowing the immediate correction of sensitive situations (2 clicks).

The objective is twofold: empower users through a seamless experience and offer security teams considerable leverage for risk remediation while maintaining overall control over management.

 

 

How does this risk review process work ?

 

 

Analysis is just the starting point: Security CheckUp also provides clear courses of action.
Each
identified risk
is accompanied by real recommendations, adapted to the needs of both administrators and data owners:

 

  • Targeted remediation campaigns to quickly remove overly permissive, non-compliant, or illegitimate shares
  • Personalised pathways centred on themes or risk types (sensitive data, guest review, review of public sites, etc.)
  • Highlighting of risky behaviours to promote good cyber practices and better digital hygiene
  • Alignment with policies for governance of access and rights in M365

 

Result: simple and rapid actions which allow you to immediately reduce exposure.

 

 

 

 

Achieving more targeted and effective governance

 

  

The effectiveness of an audit also depends on its ability to record results over time.
With Security CheckUp, organisations benefit from:

  • A clear dashboard to track campaign performance and measure the impact of actions
  • Recurring indicators to monitor the evolution of security and avoid deviations
  • A process which involves employees long term in managing access and sharing

This progressive approach positions Security CheckUp as a central governance tool, capable of supporting companies over the long term and strengthening control of their Microsoft 365 tenant.

Conclusion

With Security CheckUp, risk review is even more accessible, educational and effective.
Users regain control of their data, security teams gain visibility, and organisations effectively reduce their exposure.
A simple, yet essential, tool to strengthen the security of collaborative environments.
