Syskit Point alternative for Microsoft 365
Syskit tidies your SharePoint. Who is watching the rest of your tenant?
Syskit Point organises SharePoint, Teams and OneDrive. 1Security closes the Microsoft 365 security gaps neither Syskit nor any platform we know of closes, adds richer administration, compliance and AI access analysis rather than a list of agents, feeds your SIEM, and saves more than it costs. It secures the tenant and lets you respond to incidents, not only automate admin work.

Fair first
What Syskit Point does well.
Written so a Syskit customer nods. These are real strengths, and a team that likes them can keep them while 1Security takes the security side.
Workspace provisioning
Teams, groups, sites and Viva Engage communities created from templates, with a Teams app for requests and approvals and an API for the same.
Owner-driven reviews
Access review and workspace review policies that ask site and team owners to confirm members, sharing and settings on a schedule, with escalation when they do not.
Workspace lifecycle
Inactive and orphaned workspace policies, archive or delete decisions routed to owners, stale file archiving and version trimming for storage.
Ticketing and assistant
Early Access integrations with Jira, ServiceNow, Zendesk, Freshservice and Halo, a natural-language assistant and a read-only MCP server.
What it does not touch
Four questions a governance tool was never built to answer.
Each one is a gap a security team feels during an incident, an audit or a Copilot rollout. None of them is on the Syskit Point feature list, by design: it is a governance product, not a security one.
- 01
Forensics in minutes, not days
Three years of who did what, from where and on which device, as standard. "Is this an incident, and what is the blast radius?" is answered in minutes instead of a day of stitching logs together by hand. Syskit Point Cloud keeps audit logs for one year unless you buy an extension, does not collect Entra sign-in logs, and has no analysis of activity patterns.
- 02
Sensitive data in content, not only in labels
Syskit Point treats a file as sensitive only when it carries a Purview label you have ticked. 1Security scans the content of files and emails with its own engine, more than 300 detectors plus OCR for scans and photos: account numbers, contracts, identity numbers, passwords saved in files. Content is streamed through the scan and never stored.
- 03
Anomalies, locations, devices
1Security learns what is normal for each user, app and agent and flags what breaks the pattern: sign-ins from VPN, Tor and datacenter networks, from places nobody in your company works from, from devices you have never seen, and whether Conditional Access actually covers them. Syskit Point alerts on event type, user and IP range, and has no device or location layer.
- 04
Email
Syskit Point uses Exchange for distribution-list sync and notification mail; it does not manage mailboxes or watch mail flow. 1Security sees sensitive data leaving by email, impersonation through "send as" rights, shared mailboxes with no owner, and lets you act on the messages themselves.
Side by side

Richer administration
Beyond the gaps: the same questions, answered deeper.
Where both tools have a feature, the difference is how far the answer goes and whether you can act on it from the same screen.
Who has access, and why
One graph across every path: direct permissions, sharing links, group membership, site roles, inheritance, apps, agents and guests. Every external organisation that touches your tenant resolved to a real company and reconciled with your trusted-domain settings.
Remediation under control
More than 40 actions on users, sites, files, apps, licences, devices, agents and messages. Each one is staged in a review queue with a grace period, can be reverted, and is read back from Microsoft to prove the change landed.
Compliance without manual mapping
Eleven frameworks today, more arriving: GDPR, NIS2, DORA, the EU AI Act, ISO 27001 and 42001, SOC 2, NIST CSF, HIPAA and the Polish KSC and KRiBSI acts. One requirement counted everywhere it applies, weekly snapshots, a dated evidence pack for the auditor or the investor.
AI agents and Copilot
Not a list of agents: what each one can actually read across files, sites, users and email, who deployed it, what it did, and when it broke its own pattern. Copilot readiness with a fix list and a per-site indexing block, so the rollout starts from a clean reach.
The rest of the tenant
Beyond the comparison: the whole Microsoft 365 stack, from one read-only connection.
The table covers what a Syskit Point buyer asks about. The same connection opens every screen below on day one, each answering a question your tenant cannot answer about itself today.

Fits what you run
Native to Microsoft 365, open to the rest of your stack.
Every action runs through Microsoft Graph, roles sync from Entra, setup takes minutes, and the platform stays read-only until you decide to enable writes. There is no agent to install and no mailbox to re-route.
A public REST API and an MCP server expose logs, detections, alerts, users and compliance status, so your SIEM, SOC or MSSP receives events that already carry the user, the file, the device, the location and who could reach what, instead of raw audit rows.
Run it as SaaS, in your own Azure subscription with our container images, or on-premise, air-gapped if needed. Each tenant gets its own database, and disconnecting removes the data within seven days.
Savings, last and measured
It runs on the licences you already have, and finds the ones you do not use.
Most of what 1Security does needs no premium Microsoft plan: content scanning without E5 or Purview, locations without premium sign-in logs, three years of history without a SIEM contract. On top of that it ranks what you pay for and nobody uses, each item with its idle time and a reclaim action waiting in the review queue.

Keep both or switch
You do not have to choose on day one.
If your team likes Syskit Point for provisioning and owner reviews, keep it. 1Security takes security, incidents, compliance and AI access, and the two never fight over the same setting. Many customers run both for a year and then decide which one they still open.
The free proof of concept runs side by side on your own tenant: read-only consent in the morning, first findings the same day on a small tenant, and one meeting to compare what each tool showed.
What the side-by-side POC compares
- Sensitive data that carries no label and is reachable by guests or Anyone links
- Unknown devices and locations in the last 90 days
- AI agents and apps, and what each can reach
- Anomalies on users, apps and agents over 90 days
- Mail leaving with sensitive content and who can send as whom
- Licences, apps, sites and mailboxes you pay for and nobody uses
FAQ
Questions buyers ask when they already run Syskit Point.
Do I have to remove Syskit Point to use 1Security?
No. 1Security reads your tenant through its own Entra app with read-only consent and changes nothing until you enable actions. Syskit Point keeps working as before. Teams that keep both usually leave provisioning and owner reviews with Syskit and move incidents, sensitive data, compliance and AI access to 1Security.
Which Microsoft licence do I need?
Nearly everything works on Business Basic, Office 365 E1 or Microsoft 365 E3. Content scanning, locations and three-year history need no premium plan. The few features that read premium Microsoft data, such as Purview detections or per-sign-in detail, are listed on the requirements page with what you get without them, and the free licence checker tells you before you connect.
Does 1Security store my file or email content?
No. Content is streamed into the sensitivity scan and discarded when it finishes. What persists is the detection type, the match count and a confidence bucket linked to the file, never the matched values. The data handling page lists exactly what is read and what is stored.
Can the data stay in my own cloud?
Yes. Besides SaaS you can run 1Security in your own Azure subscription from our container images, or on-premise. Each tenant gets its own database in every model, and there is no minimum user count for self-hosting.
How does it feed our SIEM or SOC?
Through the public REST API: logs, detections, alerts, security alerts, users, compliance status and Copilot readiness, with scoped API keys per tenant or organisation-wide for MSSPs. The same reads are available as MCP tools. Sentinel and Splunk pairings are described on their own pages.
How do you know what Syskit Point does and does not do?
From Syskit's public documentation, pricing page and release notes, and from Microsoft's app certification record, each linked under the table with the date we last checked. If something has changed or we got a row wrong, tell us and we will correct it.
What does the free POC include, and how long does it take?
A read-only connection to your tenant, a full scan, and a comparison meeting. A small tenant shows first results within one to two hours; a tenant with around a million files takes six to twelve hours for the first full map. Nothing is changed in your tenant during the POC.
See both on your own tenant.
