For Your Secure, Structured and Sustainable It Environment:

Microsoft Governance

Reliable Governance for Your Corporate Data With Microsoft 365 and Arvato Systems

Do you know who has what access rights to various data in your organization? Do you know the retention or deletion periods of your content? And can you ensure that all employees adhere to your guidelines? By default, Microsoft 365 doesn't limit how applications can be used. So if you don't set policies for Microsoft 365 usage, all employees can access all content, share sensitive data, freely create or delete teams, and more. This inevitably raises privacy and security-related difficulties. So how do you set sensible policies and guardrails that ensure proper use of your systems while enabling efficient collaboration with high user acceptance? 


At Arvato Systems, we show you how to securely integrate Microsoft 365 into your daily business operations and build a sustainable governance strategy. In addition, we offer expert consulting, implementation, and deployment for your governance solution. The Microsoft 365 platform is a complex system with numerous options - so it is not uncommon for many companies and users to quickly lose sight of the big picture. At Arvato Systems, we understand the multidimensional requirements of our customers and therefore offer you an intelligent solution designed for secure and efficient collaboration: NAVOO®. With NAVOO®, you ensure the security and management of Microsoft 365 for efficient collaboration and corporate communication. For the harmony of Microsoft 365 and your corporate policies. 

NAVOO®

The SaaS platform that enables you to build powerful collaboration, enterprise communication and governance solutions. With the integrated solution, your employees manage their mailboxes, files and content on their own. Securely, competently and, thanks to defined and qualified processes, without any loss of acceptance.

Central Governance Questions

For some Microsoft 365 applications, such as Exchange/Outlook or OneDrive, governance and compliance questions can certainly be answered with a standardized "one-size-fits-all" approach. For example, you can define generally applicable rules for your employees' private mailboxes or file storage based on best practices.

However, this is not applicable to the entire platform. For Microsoft 365's many collaboration tools, such as SharePoint and Microsoft Teams, setting standardized rules is more challenging. Can you easily set policies for the following areas of digital collaboration that apply across your entire organization?

Policies for storage structure, classification, collaboration (versioning, publishing), and sharing of internal and external users for documents and other content.
Guidelines for the classification, assignment of permissions (such as the creation of new teams and the creation of guest users) of storage and collaboration areas such as teams
Definition of consistent master data and corporate vocabulary
Policies for customizing global settings
Execution and access rights for reporting and audits

Don't panic! Hardly any organization can define universally applicable rules for all these areas. The requirements of different departments, divisions and, above all, use cases are too different for that. As an example: Enabling access for all employees and external users in all storage areas would inevitably lead to a loss of sensitive content.

Our recommendation: Let Arvato Systems advise you on the options for defining governance and compliance guidelines for your individual use scenarios, benefit from our best practices and take a look at our SaaS solution NAVOO®.

Therefore, a Good Governance Strategy Is Without Alternative
