Many businesses underestimate the security and governance responsibilities they take on when they migrate to Microsoft 365 (M365). In theory, it’s easy to establish a framework for critical IT-related decisions, such as data governance, securing business applications, and prioritizing IT investments and principles. However, many organizations struggle with these fundamental tasks due to three common mistakes:

1. Failing to implement basic security practices;
2. Giving administrators excessive controls, resulting in increased access to sensitive information; and,
3. Investing in productivity and operation applications
   without considering security implications.

With today’s modern workforce increasingly working from home, it’s more important than ever to prioritize security and data governance in M365.
