Is Microsoft Teams governance a growing headache?

Support_icon-1-1
Teams sprawl and lifecycle chaos
Without governance, Teams workspaces multiply uncontrollably. Abandoned, inactive, and duplicated teams clutter your tenant and increase risk.
Templates_icon-2
Uncontrolled guest access
External collaboration is essential, but unmanaged guest access creates security gaps and compliance risks.

Manual policy enforcement
Relying on spreadsheets and ad-hoc reviews is slow, error-prone, and can't scale with growing environments.

Compliance risks and visibility gaps
Audits, internal policies, and external regulations demand transparency, but Microsoft's native tools often leave blind spots.

Unmanaged resource creation
By implementing rules during the provisioning process, permission-levels are maintained, naming conventions are met, and lifecycle processes are followed before sprawl can happen.
