Marin Tica, IT Director, Zagreb Airport Challenge While having a single M365 tenant enables easy document management and collaboration, working in a single large tenant also adds significant complexity and a lack of visibility into the inventory. Zagreb Airport is no exception. As an ISO 9001 certificate holder, it must comply with the requirements for storing and organizing company data according to the certificate. It must also stay ahead of potential security breaches and ensure sensitive data protection in its complex M365 environment. Finally, it needs to optimize costs by cutting underutilized M365 licenses. Ensuring regulatory compliance Strict ISO 9001 regulations have made Zagreb Airport more accountable for the protection of sensitive information, documentation storage, and management. The regulation was challenging to implement due to the complexity of Zagreb Airport’s M365 environment. The company’s Group hierarchy consists of multiple Azure Active Directory groups which do not show individual members. When auditors asked about user access to the records and what kind of access they have, the responsible team lacked a centralized, single-view report showing all users and their permissions across the M365 environment. Instead, they spent hours retrieving the necessary data from each group, file, and folder. Controlling external sharing and users Sharing documents in M365 can create security concerns when data gets shared with an unauthorized party. To stay ahead of potential data breaches, Zagreb Airport was searching for a solution that would monitor and alert suspicious activities in its M365 environment without compromising on user collaboration.
