Microsoft IT Architect, David Johnson shared the key principles that Microsoft uses to manage OneDrive in a recent episode of the Sync Up Podcast. Here are the secrets they follow:
1. Self-Service with Guardrails: Allow users to create, share, and collaborate without needing IT intervention. Utilize built-in security measures like access reviews and labels to keep data secure.
2. Trust-but-Verify Model: Trust employees to handle data responsibly, but use tools like Data Loss Prevention policies to scan for sensitive information and quarantine risky files.
3. Lifecycle & Expiration Management: Use features like automated site expiration to prevent content sprawl and maintain a clean data estate.
4. Default Security & Smart Labeling: Implement common-sense labels to organize and secure content effectively.
5. Balance is Key: Microsoft emphasizes the importance of balancing security and usability. Finding the right equilibrium is crucial for success.
