Protect administrator accounts first
Use strong MFA, separate administrative accounts and tightly scoped roles. Super Admin should be rare and protected because compromise can affect identity, mail, data access and security configuration across the organisation.
Control external sharing
Drive and Shared Drive policy should reflect business collaboration needs while limiting accidental public or unmanaged sharing. Review link-sharing defaults, external membership and ownership transfer processes.
Manage endpoint access
Decide which devices can access corporate data and what conditions they must meet. Browser sessions, mobile devices and managed endpoints need a coherent policy rather than relying only on passwords at sign-in.
Use audit data operationally
Administrator activity, authentication events and sharing changes are most useful when reviewed or integrated into monitoring and incident processes. Retention alone does not create detection capability.
AL Group can assess, design, implement and operate the underlying technology rather than stopping at advice.
