Enable central monitoring over Microsoft 365 security
PI helps you monitor Microsoft 365, so you can easily answer critical questions for your security team: Who has access to sensitive data? Have they accessed it? Do any of your external users pose a threat? We help you get insights to answer your most critical security questions. You define what risk means to you – simply select the regulations or permissions controls you care about most! And we’ll do the rest.
Monitor what’s important
- Easily identify exposure – including content with anonymous links or Teams with shadow users.
- Get the insight you need, fast with object or user-based search across Teams, Groups, Sites, and OneDrives.
- Monitor critical access control and sensitive data issues over time with dynamic dashboards.

Enable admins to focus on critical Microsoft 365 security issues first
Enable your insights to tell a story. Add context to basic permissions reports. Cross-reference access controls with sensitivity and activity data. Easily identify issues including over-exposed sensitive content, over-active external users, shadow users, and other security concerns. Then, take action where it has the most impact.
Prioritize security issues
- Prioritize anonymous link or large groups for action actions based on content sensitivity.
- Batch update out-of-policy permissions, anonymous links, shadow users, and more.
- Lock down at-risk or sensitive content by expiring or removing permissions.

Revert configuration drift and security issues in near real-time
Easily enforce policies for permissions and access controls – including for external users. Automatically detect, notify, and revert configuration drift and security issues. Our data pulls directly from Microsoft 365 (Office 365) security, activity, and compliance feeds. So, we’re not over-loading your tenant with crawls! That means policies for membership and access can be easily enforced as you grow.
Automate security and access policies
- Build policies based on insights and best practices, to ease IT’s burden.
- Revert or notify of configuration drift and security issues automatically.
- Built to scale – so you can get insights and apply batch fixes in record time.

Demonstrate the impact ad-hoc and automated security fixes
Maintain a record of adoption and reduced exposure over time. Dashboards prove progress, so you can understand how well issues are being addressed. Demonstrate reduced risk for key stakeholders, to prove PI’s value to the business.
Prove your outcomes
- Time-based dashboards reveal the business impact of management actions.
- Track your risk score over time to demonstrate your security posture.
- Centrally audit administrative activity to keep track of actions and improvements.
