The widespread adoption of collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams has transformed the way teams communicate and work together. However, this shift towards remote collaboration has brought forth new challenges, particularly in ensuring robust security and compliance measures within these platforms. 

AGAT’s SphereShield emerges as a comprehensive solution tailored to address the intricate security and compliance needs specifically for Microsoft Teams. Let’s delve into the array of solutions SphereShield offers to fortify and streamline security protocols within this popular collaboration tool. 

Real-Time Data Loss Prevention (DLP) 

SphereShield’s real-time inspection functionality actively scrutinizes all content—be it messages, files, or audio—before it reaches its intended destination within Microsoft Teams. Leveraging the AGAT DLP engine or seamless integration with leading DLP vendors, it enables companies to maintain existing policies while efficiently managing potential incidents, which are seamlessly linked to the eDiscovery feature for comprehensive conversation context review. 

Ethical Wall Implementation 

Maintaining stringent control over user communication becomes easier with SphereShield’s Ethical Wall solution. It effectively blocks unwarranted communication between users and governs activities like desktop sharing or file transfers. Communication policies can be meticulously set based on various parameters including user groups, domains, conversation types (Channel/Chat), and scope (internal/external), ensuring a fortified communication environment. 

Extended eDiscovery Capabilities 

With SphereShield, archiving data becomes a breeze, whether it’s stored in the cloud or on-site. The solution allows for easy search and export of any communication using specific parameters such as user, time, channel, or text. Furthermore, seamless integration with existing on-site eDiscovery and archiving solutions ensures a comprehensive and unified approach to data retrieval. 

Channel Management Control 

Administering Microsoft Teams’ Channels is simplified through SphereShield’s capabilities, providing the ability to manage, archive, and export Channel content, thereby ensuring a streamlined content flow within the Teams environment. 

Recording AI Compliance Analysis 

Incorporating AI-driven analysis of audio and video recordings from meetings, SphereShield caters to both DLP and eDiscovery requisites. This feature makes meetings searchable through eDiscovery while inspecting the meeting’s audio and video content based on predefined DLP policies. Smart DLP incidents are generated with links to the specific video and transcript times, facilitating swift action. 

MS Teams Governance 

Taking governance a step further, SphereShield empowers organizations to control team and channel creation. It offers configuration options to determine team ownership, user and guest addition, and external tenant guest access. Moreover, it allows fine-tuning control over file uploads to Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint. 

In conclusion, SphereShield stands as a robust solution engineered to mitigate security risks and ensure compliance within Microsoft Teams. By integrating these tailored solutions, organizations can confidently navigate the collaborative landscape while safeguarding sensitive data and adhering to regulatory requirements. Whether it’s real-time DLP, ethical walls, extended eDiscovery, or comprehensive governance, SphereShield presents a comprehensive suite of tools aimed at fortifying the security posture of Microsoft Teams. 

By incorporating these solutions, businesses can unlock the full potential of Microsoft Teams while mitigating potential risks, ensuring secure collaboration, and maintaining regulatory compliance.
