Sensitive Data Exposure Map

You think only five people have access to that sensitive folder. Turns out it’s fifty-seven, including one ex-intern and a mystery Gmail account. 1Security’s Data Exposure Map replaces assumption with proof, giving you the full picture of who can see what in Microsoft 365 and helping your organization protect critical data before it’s exposed.

What is the challenge?

  • Hidden exposure in plain sight

    Sensitive files in SharePoint and OneDrive often keep old permissions, quietly exposing data to unintended users.

  • Lack of consolidated visibility

    Security teams jump between various disconnected Microsoft interfaces and dashboards to analyse exposure, losing productivity and clear context.

  • Unmonitored AI and app access

    Copilot and cloud apps may surface protected data without control, adding invisible exposure risks.

  • Difficulty maintaining compliance over time

    Small permission changes break compliance. Microsoft environments need constant risk monitoring.

  • Outdated manual reviews hinder fast investigation

    Admins chase exposure through logs and CSVs. Manual reviews waste hours and miss key security issues.

Alternative solutions

Solving It with Other Methods

Organizations often attempt to uncover Microsoft data exposure with native tools or manual audits, but results are fragmented and inconsistent.

  • Microsoft Purview alone

    Purview identifies sensitive data but doesn’t reveal who has access. Without that context, exposure remains hidden, and security risks go unresolved.

  • Manual audits and PowerShell scripts

    Exporting CSVs from admin centers may show exposure, but data changes quickly. By the time reports are reviewed, new vulnerabilities already exist.

  • Periodic penetration tests

    Some organizations rely on annual or quarterly pentests to reveal exposures. These tests catch surface risks but miss daily vulnerabilities inside Microsoft 365.

Benefits

Why Microsoft Data Exposure Mapping Matters

1Security helps organizations work faster and safer in Microsoft 365 by combining visibility, automation, and context into one secure environment. It uncovers exposure, mitigates vulnerabilities, and gives security teams the clarity to manage Microsoft data responsibly.

  • Real-time visibility

    Instantly understand where sensitive data resides and who can access it.

  • AI-ready governance

    Ensure Microsoft Copilot and integrated cloud apps access only protected data.

  • Reduced breach impact

    Detect exposure early and adress critical vulnerabilities before they expand into major security events.

  • Continuous compliance

    Maintain a secure Microsoft environment even as users, permissions, and data evolve.
