Don’t let Microsoft 365 Governance and Compliance be a roll of the dice

No matter the size of your business, data protection and compliance is critical.

1. Data is exploding
2. Data regulations are increasing around the world
3. Everyone is at risk of a data breach

Yet data security and compliance can feel overwhelming.

Let me show you how the Microsoft 365 Governance, Risk, and Compliance maturity model can help you reduce risk and improve compliance effectiveness by building a strategy for protecting and managing sensitive and business-critical data.

Finding and managing ownerless Teams using Power Automate

Why do ownerless Teams occur?
Ownerless Teams occur as part of the joiners, movers leaver process. An administrator removes the user from the Team or closes their account. If they were the only Team owner then the Team becomes ownerless.
Because the is no ‘out of the box’ and simple process for the admin to check if the user is an owner of any Group the process often gets overlooked.

What is the issue with ownerless Teams?
1 The Group has no accountability
2 Membership requests to join private groups stay unapproved because no owner exists to process requests.
3 If the Azure AD Access reviews or Expiration reviews are enforced then who reviews the requests.

How can I minimize ownerless Teams?
This session will show you how to minimize ownerless Teams by building a Power Automate Flow to automate the process of reassigning Team ownership when a Team owner either moves roles or leaves the organization.

Implementing Microsoft Teams lifecycle governance to stop Team sprawl

Microsoft Teams empowers users to collaborate. However without governance it is easy for organizations to create thousands of Teams sites with no clear ownership and no lifecycle. This uncontrolled growth can quickly turn into sprawl resulting in an IT admin headache to manage and lead to user confusion and dissatisfaction as they struggle to identify which is the correct team to use.
This session will discuss best practices on how to implement Teams lifecycle management to manage your teams through the following stages:
1. Teams creation
2. Ongoing management
3. End of life

Build a Teams creation workflow using Power Automate

Use Lists and Power Automate to build a Team creation process to govern the creation of Teams.
This practical demonstration will show you how to enhance the standard Teams creation process by:
1 - using your own tailored Teams naming convention
2 - adding an approval step
3 - stopping duplicate Team names
4 - requiring multiple owners
5 - adding sensitivity label to allow or block guests and external sharing

How to collaborate securely with Guests in Microsoft Teams

The first part of the session will discuss the Microsoft 365 configuration best practices to enable secure collaboration with guests in Teams.
The second part of the session will recommend how to implement a guest lifecycle management process, to ensure your guests only have access to the information they need, for the time they need.

How to Master Microsoft 365 Evergreen Change management with Power Automate

Keeping up with Microsoft 365 changes can be hard, especially with multiple stakeholders. The Message Center sync to Microsoft Planner can help you manage the tasks, but the default sync is limited. In this deep dive session, we will build a Power Automate flow to enhance the standard message sync:
- Automatically add labels and checklists
- Assign tasks and notify the right people
- Monitor and report on the tasks
