What’s Inside the 365 Authority Gap Report
The actionable, audit-grade evaluation designed to protect mid-market businesses from configuration drift, catastrophic insurance denial, and runaway cloud licensing waste.
The Drift Check: 5 Stealth Changes
Microsoft alters hundreds of tenant baselines silently each quarter.
Configuration drift occurs when tenant settings quietly move away from the secure benchmark due to routine IT updates, untested policy overrides, or Microsoft feature rollouts. Our scan flags the 5 exact changes made in the last 6 months:
1. Conditional Access Authentication Strength Shifts
Legacy MFA methods like SMS or telephony can leave tokens exposed to AitM phishing attacks. Microsoft recently revamped authentication strength requirements; most tenants never activated the enforcement switch.
2. External Sharing & Guest Inheritance in SharePoint
OneDrive and SharePoint default link sharing settings frequently revert or inherit permissive "Anyone with the link" permissions when new sites or Teams channels are created.
3. OAuth App Consent & Illicit Grant Permissions
Users clicking "Sign in with Microsoft" unknowingly grant enterprise applications full read/write access to company mailboxes and files without administrative oversight.
4. Exchange Online Mailbox Auto-Forwarding Rules
Silent transport rules created by compromised credentials that forward invoices and executive mail to external accounts without alerting admins.
5. Purview Unified Audit Log Retention Decay
Failure to preserve audit trails beyond 90 or 180 days directly invalidates cyber-insurance claims following a ransomware attack.
