As organizations increasingly rely on Microsoft Teams for internal and external collaboration, the platform’s chat and file-sharing capabilities have become central to daily operations. However, speed and flexibility come with risk. User-managed collaboration tools can create challenges in maintaining control over data access and enforcing compliance with organizational sharing and usage policies. Over-permissioned channels and unintentional file sharing can expose sensitive information, creating regulatory and security risks. What begins as seamless collaboration can result in unintended exposure, policy violations, and heightened regulatory and security risk.
The latest release of NC Protect for M365 transforms how organizations secure collaboration within Microsoft Teams. NC Protect now addresses these challenges by enabling organizations to dynamically secure file sharing within Teams Channels in accordance with established access and sharing policies. The new Secure Document Library augments the standard file-sharing tab in a Teams channel, delivering secure, policy-enforced access control and data protection. This enables organizations to dynamically adjust access to shared files, control what users can view, define how information may be shared, and determine appropriate recipients, enforced by NC Protect’s attribute-based access control (ABAC) policies.
Create a Secure Document Library and apply access control and protection policies right from a Teams Channel with just a few clicks.
Another key enhancement in this release is the integration of ISEC7 CLASSIFY. The new ISEC7 CLASSIFY integration is part of NC Protect’s ‘Bring Your Own Classification’ model. By combining classification metadata embedded by ISEC7 CLASSIFY with the NC Protect’s ABAC capabilities, customers can meet complex regulatory and security requirements for handling and disseminating sensitive unstructured data. ISEC7 CLASSIFY metadata can now be incorporated directly into the product’s dynamic ABAC policies. Joint customers benefit from enhanced sensitive data labeling and dissemination controls, supported by dynamic access and protection policies designed to meet stringent government, defense, and enterprise compliance requirements.
