Make always-on governance your secret weapon

Without a real strategy, sprawl piles up quietly: old Teams, stale guests, oversharing links nobody remembers. Then Copilot surfaces the wrong file, and you’re the one explaining it to leadership. ShareGate keeps your Microsoft 365 tenant clean, structured, and governed, all the time.

See the risk

Know your tenant inside out

You can’t govern what you can’t see.

Get one view across Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive instead of piecing together scattered admin center reports. Spot inactive workspaces, external guests who should have left long ago, sharing links that outlived their purpose, and sites with no owner. Find them before AI does, so your users only see what they are meant to access.

Clean it up

Clean up years of “we’ll deal with it later”

Sprawl costs you twice: once in exposure, and again in storage.

Tighten broad access, fix broken inheritance, and assign missing owners in bulk, all without PowerShell. Archive inactive Teams and sites so they stop showing up in search and Copilot results, without losing any content. Reclaim storage that’s been quietly ballooning.

Keep it clean

Fix it once. Keep it fixed.

Cleanup only lasts if something stops the sprawl from coming back.

Tighten broad access, resolve permission drift, assign missing owners, and retire unused workspaces in bulk, without switching portals or writing PowerShell. Automated policies and access reviews keep your tenant clean over time. With the ShareGate MCP, you can do all of this directly from your AI tools.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to get started? And how long until I can see results?

You can get set up and start seeing results in minutes, not weeks. Connect your tenant and the first assessment surfaces your access risks, inactive workspaces, and wasted spend, sorted by severity so you know what to fix first. No PowerShell, no scripts, no specialist required.

How does ShareGate spot oversharing and risk access in Microsoft 365?

ShareGate scans your tenant and shows you exactly where content is exposed: sharing links, external guests, Anyone links, and the permissions that drifted way past what anyone intended. You see what's shared, with whom, and how risky it is, in one place instead of five admin centers.

If you use ShareGate’s new MCP server, you can even see it all by asking in your own AI tool. From there you act on it: remove risky sharing links, tighten workspace privacy, and fix issues, all within ShareGate or your AI tool of choice.

Want it to stay clean? Set up an automated policy that clears out links matching your rules on a recurring basis. So you can set it, and stop babysitting it.

What access does ShareGate have to my data?

ShareGate starts read-only. To see how SharePoint access is configured, Microsoft requires permissions that technically grant access to file content. ShareGate doesn't read it. It analyzes metadata: workspace names, permissions, sharing links, activity, and license usage. Document contents, emails, and chats are never collected or stored.

Write access is a separate admin consent. Grant it when you connect, or later when you're ready to remediate. Either way, nothing moves in your tenant until you say so. In ShareGate, every action is confirmed before it runs and logged after. Revoke consent and access stops immediately. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

We already have Microsoft Purview. Why do we need ShareGate?

Purview is powerful. And complex. ShareGate sits on top of your M365 environment to make governance actionable. Where Purview shows you data, ShareGate helps you fix the problem right where you find it. Think of it as the layer that makes your existing tools work harder.

How does ShareGate help govern Copilot and other AI tools connected to my Microsoft 365 tenant?

Copilot, as well as ChatGPT, Claude, or other AI tools connected to your tenant, read what they're allowed to reach. Including content that probably shouldn't be reachable.

ShareGate surfaces AI and Copilot access exposure indicators so you can see exactly where content is reachable before any AI tool gets to it. Then you can fix oversharing across your tenant, so every AI tool in the picture surfaces only what people are meant to see.

You get clean permissions, fewer surprises, an AI footprint your security team will actually sign off on.

Does ShareGate help with least privilege and excess permissions in Microsoft 365?

ShareGate tackles excess permissions in two steps: see them, then fix them.

The Permissions matrix report maps who has access to what across SharePoint and OneDrive. It surfaces the broken inheritance and over-broad access that piles up over time.

Once you can see it, you can act on it. Trim access, tighten sharing, and move toward least privilege from inside ShareGate. Want to share the load? Hand decisions to workspace owners with Delegated Reviews.

One thing ShareGate won't do: silently strip permissions in the background. ShareGate starts read-only. Remediation needs write access, which you grant when you're ready.

What size organizations is ShareGate designed for?

ShareGate scales from 100-seat companies to enterprise tenants with tens of thousands of users. If you're managing Microsoft 365 at any scale and governance is eating your time, ShareGate was built for you.

Does ShareGate help with audit and compliance reporting for Microsoft 365?

Yep! It gives you the visibility audits run on: who has access, what's shared externally, where sensitive content lives, and which workspaces went stale. Build the report you need by describing it in plain language, then export or save it.

Every remediation action gets tracked in an activity log, so you can show what changed, when, and why. Plus you can prove your governance efforts are actually working with impact metrics.

ShareGate doesn't replace your compliance program. It's the layer that shows your M365 environment is undercontrol, and backs it up when someone asks.
