Let's take a look at how you can tackle them and keep your Microsoft 365 environment secure and reliable.

Listing the challenges isn't the hard part. Finding solutions is a different story. At Xylos, we don't believe in quick fixes, but in a comprehensive solution that combines expertise, technology, and strategic vision – always with the customer's needs and budget in mind. That's where our partnership with Rencore comes in: a logical step toward tackling the challenges of Modern Workplace Governance.

Is the data in your Microsoft 365 environment secure and compliant? With ever-changing regulations and advanced threats, continuous monitoring and auditing are essential. So why not automate to stay ahead of legal requirements and security risks?

Use tools specifically designed to automate the monitoring and management of security and compliance policies within Microsoft 365, and count on Xylos to implement those tools effectively and in line with your operational needs.

Monitoring external access and permissions is also an important aspect. Whenever external or guest users gain access to the tenant, or when permissions exist on externally shared files, it gets flagged. Automated governance – that's the end result.

Do you have a solid policy, clear roles and responsibilities, and simple procedures to efficiently manage and use your M365 environment? Don't start from scratch – rely on robust governance solutions that help you define and enforce guidelines. Automatically detecting policy violations and delivering useful insights becomes a breeze.

Did you know that Rencore offers more than 500 ready-to-use compliance policies, automations, dashboards, reports, and other compliance template libraries? All designed to help organizations get started on their governance plan with minimal effort.

Are your employees downloading and using unauthorized applications, creating Shadow IT? This can create security gaps and complicate data management and compliance efforts. Opt for strategic management services to identify unauthorized applications and take proactive measures. The result: a safer, more controlled environment.

Managing users and permissions, efficiently allocating resources: it can get complex. Especially in large organizations with a dynamic workforce. Automation tools can offer you a smart solution for user management, reducing the administrative burden and minimizing errors when assigning users and permissions.

Make sure you properly support and train your IT teams to use these automation tools effectively and guarantee a smooth, efficient user management process.

How does your Microsoft 365 environment perform under different workloads and conditions? Reliability is crucial to maintaining productivity and user satisfaction. To detect and resolve issues before users are affected, you can use performance monitoring tools.

The Xylos Managed Services team can also help you maintain and optimize your M365 environment, to guarantee the best possible performance and reliability.
