Why it matters
Every new team, site and app adds complexity. Without governance, tenants accumulate abandoned Teams, inconsistent settings and security defaults no one has reviewed.
AvePoint gives us tools to apply consistent configuration and policies, manage the lifecycle of workspaces, and spot changes from your approved baseline.
“A tenant left to drift slowly becomes a security problem.”

Frequently asked questions
Can you take over a messy tenant?
Yes. We start with an audit, agree a baseline, then clean up and govern it going forward.
Will this change how staff use Teams?
Mainly in the background. Staff may see clearer naming, ownership and expiry of unused workspaces.
Does this include security settings?
Yes. Tenant-level security settings are part of the configuration baseline.
