ShareGate Protect Simplifies Microsoft 365 Governance

Out-of-the-box platform ShareGate recently introduced the next generation of ShareGate Protect.

ShareGate Protect promises simpler, smarter Microsoft 365 governance

The new generation of ShareGate Protect, an all-in-one solution that replaces scattered reports and complex permissions with a single, clear, reliable view, shines a light on hidden risks, streamlines fixes, and simplifies governance.

The solution will bring visibility and action together to help IT teams find risks faster and fix them before they spread.

“Goverance has gotten too complicated with fragmented tools, constant policy changes, and growing AI and security demands,” said Benjamin Niaulin, VP of Product at ShareGate. “IT teams shouldn’t have to choose between speed and security. ShareGate Protect cuts through the noise, surfacing what matters most so teams can act fast, stay secure, and keep Microsoft 365 Copilot-ready, all without the complexity.”

According to ShareGate, its latest survey found that 82 percent of organizations have piloted Copilot, partially or fully deployed it. Data quality and access control, meanwhile, have remained the biggest concern for IT admins when scaling AI safely.

Further, 36 percent of those surveyed said they lack expertise in AI governance, even as IT teams face increasing pressure to strengthen governance and security foundations amid the acceleration of Copilot and AI adoption.

ShareGate Protect addresses these challenges by providing users with one unified view to surface risks, take instant action, and keep Microsoft 365 environments secure, compliant, and prepared for the next wave of AI adoption.

ShareGate Protect capabilities include unified tenant views and risk recommendations

ShareGate Protect will help IT teams identify risks, streamline fixes, and maintain secure, compliant, and AI-ready Microsoft 365 environments. The solution combines visibility, insights, and custom reporting into a single, clear platform that keeps governance tasks fast, focused, and reliable.

Among the signature features of ShareGate Protect are:

• Unified tenant view: Gain instant visibility across Teams, SharePoint, Groups, and OneDrive with a single, reliable view of your Microsoft 365 environment.
• Governance risk assessment: Identify oversharing, guest access, and inactive workspaces in one clear dashboard to help teams focus where it matters most. Additional future updates will add benchmarking and trendline insights for deeper visibility over time.
• In-context remediation: Action can be taken directly from insights without scripts, switching tools, or extra steps. Users can remediate issues quickly and keep collaboration running smoothly.
• Smart insight recommendations: Contextual guidance can help prioritize and resolve issues faster.
• Custom reporting engine and pre-built templates: Build flexible reports or use ready-made templates to prove control and progress with consistent, reliable data.
• AI-powered risk recommendations: Upcoming capabilities will make governance proactive and continuous to give IT teams the foresight to stop problems before they start.

Early access to the solution is currently available to ShareGate members, with general access available on November 25.
