Use Cases

Office 365 Check Who Has Access to Mailbox

Your Office 365 is haunted by ghosts: ex-assistants and vendors with "temporary" access from 2019. Hunting them means clicking through Exchange, Entra ID, and Admin Center, chasing data that isn't connected. NIS2 demands you exorcise these risks or face fines. 1Security shines a light on every hidden delegate instantly, turning access gaps into audit-ready proof without the click-marathon.

Automated Reporting

What is the challenge?

  • Invisible Delegates

    Assistants often get full access to executive user mailboxes, but these rights persist after role changes, leaving silent backdoors open.

  • The "Send As" Trap

    Attackers prize send as permission because they can impersonate C-level executives to send email without ever logging into the primary user account.

  • NIS2 Personal Liability

    NIS2 holds execs personally liable for non-compliance. Undefined mailbox access is no longer just risky—it's a direct legal threat to the admin.

  • Fragmented Visibility

    Checking shared mailbox access means cross-referencing Microsoft 365 Groups, delegates, and folder permissions across scattered portals.

  • Supply Chain Blind Spots

    Vendors often keep non-owner access to shared mailboxes post-contract, creating invisible risks that violate strict NIS2 supply chain security rules.

Solving It with Other Methods

Relying on manual workarounds or PowerShell to fix visibility gaps is a recipe for burnout. These fragmented methods are so error-prone and tedious that most teams eventually just give up on the analysis rather than keep fighting the chaos.

  • PowerShell Scripts

    Writing a custom PowerShell script to query Get-MailboxPermission is slow, requires deep technical expertise to use PowerShell, and produces static CSVs that are obsolete the moment they are exported.

  • Exchange Admin Center

    Native tools like the Exchange Admin Center force you to click into a mailbox one by one to check delegates, making it operationally impossible to audit thousands of users for NIS2 compliance.

  • Microsoft Purview

    While Purview is excellent for labeling sensitive data, it focuses on where data should be, rather than revealing which specific user actually holds the keys to the mailbox right now.

  • Manual Audits

    Piecing together exports from Entra ID, Exchange Online PowerShell, and Admin Center takes weeks, often resulting in a "Black Box" where you still don't know who can access and send as permissions for the CEO.

Benefits

Why Mailbox Access in Office 365 Matters?

1Security gives you complete visibility into mailbox permission, detects risky delegated access in real time, simplifies NIS2 compliance reporting, and protects against insider threats so you stay in control instead of buried in an audit log.

  • Avoid Stricter Fines

    With NIS2 fines reaching up to €10M or 2% of global turnover, failing to control mailbox access is a financial risk you cannot afford.

  • Accelerate Incident Response

    Meet the tight 24-72 hour NIS2 reporting deadlines by knowing instantly which user has full access to a compromised mailbox, rather than spending months analyzing logs.

  • Protect Executive Assets

    Prevent "Business Email Compromise" (BEC) by ensuring no unauthorized accounts have full access and send rights to critical leadership mailboxes in your organization.

  • Enforce Least Privilege

    Prove to auditors that access rights are limited to only what is necessary, a core requirement of NIS2 Article 21.

  • Gain Strategic Clarity

    Provide the C-suite with understandable, plain-language evidence of access to sensitive data, protecting them from personal liability claims.

  • Does this track non-owner access to mailboxes in your exchange?

    Yes. You can run a non-owner mailbox access report instantly to identify when a delegate or admin opens an email, simplifying the audit process for shared mailbox permissions.
