Your organisation runs on Microsoft 365. So does your biggest data exposure risk.
SharePoint. OneDrive. Teams. Exchange. Your people use these platforms every hour of every working day, sharing documents, forwarding emails, granting access, and moving sensitive data across boundaries your existing security tools were not built to watch.
Microsoft’s native security shows you some of it. INSIGHT Lite organises, categorises, and surfaces the issues that actually need your attention.
Risk management for all businesses:
Microsoft 365 was built to make sharing easy. That is its value. It is also a risk.
The productivity value is real. So is the exposure.
The platforms that make collaboration frictionless are the same platforms where sensitive data is over-shared, externally exposed, and accessed by people who should not have it, often without a single alert being generated. Microsoft’s built-in security gives you a view of your M365 environment. It does not provide continuous, AI-driven monitoring that surfaces risky behaviour in real time. That is the gap INSIGHT Lite was built to close.
Accidental exposure to external users
A SharePoint folder shared with “anyone with the link.” A document forwarded from Exchange to a personal email address. A Teams file made accessible to a guest user who should never have had access. These are not edge cases. They are the default behaviour of people working at pace in a platform designed to make sharing easy. Without continuous monitoring, they are invisible.
Unauthorised access, internal and external
Permissions drift in M365 the same way they drift everywhere else. Inherited access, group memberships that outlast the projects that created them, and guest accounts that were never deactivated. The result is a growing population of users, internal and external, who can reach data they have no legitimate reason to access. In most environments, no one is watching.
Insider threats hiding in plain sight
A departing employee who downloads everything from a sensitive SharePoint library in their final week. A contractor who forwards project documents to a personal account before their engagement ends. These behaviours are detectable, but only if someone is looking at the right signals in real time. Most M365 audit logs capture what happened. INSIGHT Lite tells you when it is happening, so you can act before the damage is done.
How it Works.
Track. Analyse. Act.
Track
Real-time insight into who accesses sensitive data and how it is being used. INSIGHT Lite connects directly to your M365 environment through native API integration. No agents. No changes to how your people work. The monitoring layer is active from day one.
Analyse
AI-driven analytics and automated risk assessments continuously scan for unauthorised access, suspicious file activity, and data sharing risks. Every finding is ranked and surfaced so you know what needs your attention first, not buried in a log nobody reads.
Act
Automated alerts reach the right people at the moment a risk is detected. Security teams get the visibility to act before data has moved beyond reach. Compliance-ready reporting is available immediately, without preparation or reconstruction.
A security culture that builds itself.
Most DLP tools respond to a breach. INSIGHT prevents the next one.
Real-Time Risk Detection and User Education
When risky behaviour is detected, INSIGHT Lite triggers automated, contextual user education at the moment the event occurs. The employee understands immediately what they did, why it matters, and what to do instead. The manager is notified. The security team has the evidence. No friction. No blocked workflows.
Beyond Detection: Real Behavior Change
Every risk event becomes a learning moment. Over time, that changes behaviour across the organisation, reducing incidents without restricting the way people work. No other DLP product delivers this. It is the reason GuardWare customers report fewer repeat incidents after deployment, not just better detection of the ones that happen.
What INSIGHT Lite monitors and detects.
SharePoint and OneDrive sensitive directory monitoring
Detects risky access by unauthorised users, lists users with access, and highlights external sharing risks. Tracks access rights for SharePoint libraries that hold sensitive data and provides user-based activity tracking. Detects access by region to flag anomalies.
Email risk monitoring
Flags emails containing sensitive content forwarded to personal accounts, detects high-risk emails sent to third parties, and monitors outgoing sensitive information shared externally. Exchange is where some of the most consequential data movement in any organisation occurs, and where some of the most consequential mistakes are made.
Downloads and device tracking
Tracks downloads by internal and external users on personal and mobile devices. Mass downloads from sensitive folders trigger immediate alerts, allowing security teams to act before data has moved beyond reach.
Anonymous sharing detection
Detects anonymous file sharing that could lead to data leaks and identifies all actions related to sensitive files for security investigations. On a platform where “share with anyone” is a single click away, automated detection of anonymous access is not optional.
No agents, no disruption
INSIGHT Lite connects to your M365 environment through native API integration. No agent deployment, no changes to how your people work, no disruption to existing operations. Operational from day one.
Compliance-ready reporting
Automated alerts and a unified risk dashboard give your security team the documented evidence needed for internal governance and regulatory compliance. No preparation required before an audit.
M365 security gaps are invisible until they become a breach notification.
INSIGHT Lite makes them visible, before that happens.

Real-Time Visibility for Confident Compliance
"The uncertainty that makes breaches expensive isn't just about where data lived, it's about what happened to it between then and now. INSIGHT exists because the question 'what has your data been doing today?' deserves a real-time answer, not a retrospective one. Monitoring shouldn't exist to catch people out. It should exist to protect people from the consequences of mistakes they didn't know they were making."
"The incidents that cost the most aren't the ones you find quickly. They're the ones that were already happening before anyone thought to look."
"We now have complete visibility of data across our assets. In the very first week of monitoring we detected and prevented two data dumps to USB drives by staff."
INSIGHT Lite is where M365 visibility starts.
The suite takes it further.
GuardWare’s Data-Centric Security suite is designed as one operational sequence, find, monitor, and protect your sensitive data across its entire lifecycle.
Monitor M365
AI-powered real-time monitoring across SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Exchange. Immediate visibility into access, sharing, downloads, and email risk, without agents, without complexity.
Find and classify
Map sensitive data across all repositories, including M365. Know what you have, where it lives, and what needs to be tightened first.
Full monitoring across all channels
Extends visibility beyond M365 to endpoints, cloud platforms, AI tools, USB activity, web traffic, and home environments. The complete picture, across every channel where data moves.
Encrypt and control
Persistent file encryption so sensitive files remain protected even when they leave your environment, with remote key revocation for every file, including files already shared externally.
