CoreView’s State of Microsoft 365 Security Report explores how organizations are approaching security, governance, and resilience across Microsoft 365 environments. Based on research from 279 IT and security leaders, the report highlights the gaps between what they believe Microsoft 365 protects by default and the operational realities of managing tenant security at scale. It examines common challenges such as misconfigurations, limited visibility, configuration drift, excessive privilege, and the difficulty of maintaining consistent governance across multiple workloads, tenants, and teams.
This report is designed to help IT and security leaders benchmark their own M365 security posture against broader industry trends. Readers will gain insight into where organizations are most exposed, which security and governance priorities are becoming more urgent, and how stronger tenant-level visibility, policy enforcement, automation, and configuration backup/restore can help reduce risk.
