Microsoft 365

You can connect GuardWare to Microsoft 365, enabling GuardWare to access and monitor data stored in services such as Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive. This integration supports data discovery, security monitoring, risk management, and reporting capabilities within your Microsoft 365 environment.

Before integrating, ensure you have:

• An active Microsoft Azure subscription. We recommend using a Pay-As-You-Go subscription.
• Access to the Microsoft Azure Portal with the required administrative permissions, preferably a Global Administrator account.

To use MIP integration with Guardware, your organisation must have a Microsoft licence that includes Microsoft Purview Information Protection (sensitivity labelling) capabilities, such as Microsoft 365 Business Premium, Microsoft 365 E3, Microsoft 365 E5, Azure Information Protection P1/P2.
