Microsoft 365

The Microsoft 365 (M365) integration detects a variety of data loss prevention, account misconfiguration, and user security risks in an integrated Microsoft 365 account that could leave you and your organization vulnerable.

This integration covers the following Microsoft 365 products:

• Admin Center
• OneDrive
• Outlook
• SharePoint
• Microsoft 365 Copilot
• Admin Center (FedRAMP)
• OneDrive (FedRAMP)
• Outlook (FedRAMP)
• SharePoint (FedRAMP)
• Microsoft 365 Copilot (FedRAMP)

• A Microsoft 365 account with an active Microsoft Business Basic, Microsoft Business Standard, Microsoft 365 E3, Microsoft 365 E5, or Microsoft 365 F3 subscription
• Global admin role ↗ or equivalent permissions in Microsoft 365

For the Microsoft 365 integration to function, Cloudflare CASB requires the following delegated Microsoft Graph API permissions:

• Application.Read.All
• Calendars.Read
• Domain.Read.All
• Group.Read.All
• InformationProtectionPolicy.Read.All
• MailboxSettings.Read
• offline_access
• RoleManagement.Read.All
• User.Read.All
• UserAuthenticationMethod.Read.All
• Files.Read.All
• AuditLog.Read.All
• AiEnterpriseInteraction.Read.All

These permissions follow the principle of least privilege to ensure that only the minimum required access is granted.

Additionally, to remediate findings, CASB requires the following permissions:

• Application.ReadWrite.All
• AuditLog.Read.All
• AiEnterpriseInteraction.Read.All
• Calendars.ReadWrite
• Domain.ReadWrite.All
• Files.ReadWrite.All
• Group.ReadWrite.All
• InformationProtectionPolicy.Read.All
• MailboxSettings.ReadWrite
• IdentityRiskyUser.ReadWrite.All
• RoleManagement.ReadWrite.Directory
• User.ReadWrite.All
• UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite.All
• Directory.ReadWrite.All
• GroupMember.ReadWrite.All
• Organization.ReadWrite.All
• Mail.ReadWrite

To learn more about each permission, refer to the Microsoft Graph permissions documentation ↗.

The Microsoft 365 integration currently scans for the following findings, or security risks. Findings are grouped by category and then ordered by severity level.

To stay up-to-date with new CASB findings as they are added, bookmark this page or subscribe to its RSS feed.

Keep user accounts safe by ensuring the following settings are maintained. Review password configurations and password strengths to ensure alignment to your organization's security policies and best practices.

Get alerted when files in your Microsoft 365 account have their permissions changed to a less secure setting. Additionally, you can automatically remediate certain finding types directly from CASB. For more information, refer to Remediate findings.

To access some file findings, you may need to review shared links. For more information, refer to View shared files.

These findings will only appear if you added DLP profiles to your CASB integration.

Detect DLP matches in content used and shared within Microsoft's artificial intelligence (AI) offering, Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Identify and get alerted about the third-party apps that have access to at least one service in your Microsoft 365 domain. Additionally, receive information about which services are being accessed and by whom to get full visibility into shadow IT.

Get alerted when calendars in your Microsoft 365 account have their permissions changed to a less secure setting.

Discover suspicious or insecure email configurations in your Microsoft domain. Missing SPF and DMARC records make it easier for bad actors to spoof email, while SPF records configured to another domain can be a potential warning sign of malicious activity.

Get alerted when users set their email to be forwarded externally. This can either be a sign of unauthorized activity, or an employee unknowingly sending potentially sensitive information to a personal email.

Microsoft provides MIP sensitivity labels ↗ to classify and protect sensitive data. When you add the CASB Microsoft 365 integration, Cloudflare will automatically retrieve the labels from your Microsoft account and populate them in a DLP Profile.
