With COVID-19 making most of us work from home, it is essential to stay one step ahead of those uninvited guests attempting to steal important information. Adopting Microsoft Teams in your business can bring many benefits. Calls, meetings, apps, files, etc., are all just a click away. With plenty of important documents/conversations being exchanged, Teams contribute to the security and compliance requirements that your organization may have.
Teams keeps persistent records of chat conversations by default. While you may be used to protecting emails and files on your mobile devices, Teams is already one step ahead and helping you out! As you protect your files and information, Teams is another endpoint in your overall security and compliance strategy.
There is a multitude of security and compliance controls that you can apply to Teams chat, meetings and calls. You can decide what controls you want to apply. For example, disabling screen sharing for specific users, or information barriers via PowerShell, you can prevent communications between different users.
Microsoft is here to make sure the Teams service is secure and compliant. Data is constantly being shared between users and Microsoft keeps a robust control framework to meet the requirements of some of the most rigorous regulations while reviewing and adding controls as new requirements emerge.
While other tools and platforms might seem the best fit for your company and organization, Microsoft Teams has proved time and time again that it can be the best tool for you. From having multiple tools to keep communication flowing to other tools that keep your data safe, Microsoft Teams is the way to go.
