Secure collaboration and identity-first operations without slowing your teams

Cloud productivity platforms have become the backbone of modern businesses, yet their rapid adoption often leaves governance gaps. DMF begins by inventorying tenants, admin roles, conditional access policies, and third-party integrations. We apply least privilege principles, implement standardized naming conventions, and establish approval workflows for privileged actions. Automated lifecycle scripts onboard and offboard users, assign the right licenses, and archive data in compliance with company policy.

Security is non-negotiable. We configure conditional access to evaluate device compliance, location, and risk scores before granting entry. Data loss prevention policies protect sensitive information, while threat intelligence from Microsoft Defender or Google Chronicle feeds into our SOC. SaaS discovery tools reveal unmanaged applications so we can evaluate business justification, negotiate enterprise licensing, or block risky tools entirely. Quarterly access reviews ensure executives and auditors can see who has what access and why.

Governance also means driving value. DMF analyzes license usage to eliminate waste, recommend right-sizing, and surface opportunities for bundling. We monitor collaboration patterns to identify training needs, automate Teams/Google Chat lifecycle management, and archive stale workspaces. Integration roadmaps connect SaaS applications with identity providers and automate data flows, reducing manual processes that slow down departments.

Compliance requirements are supported from day one. We configure retention policies, eDiscovery holds, legal request workflows, and audit-ready reporting. When industries demand HIPAA, SOC 2, or GDPR controls, we map each requirement to cloud configurations and document evidence. Incident response playbooks integrate with identity protection so we can detect impossible travel, suspicious OAuth consent, and anomalous sharing events in real time.

With DMF managing cloud and SaaS governance, your teams remain productive while leadership gains confidence that data is secure, costs are controlled, and compliance obligations are satisfied. We turn sprawling SaaS sprawl into an orchestrated ecosystem that evolves alongside your business. Best practices are aligned with Microsoft 365 Secure Score, Google Workspace security center, and Okta zero trust architecture.
