One of the biggest challenges in SharePoint security is managing access at scale. Traditional intranets often overwhelm users with irrelevant information, increasing the risk of accidental data exposure. At the same time, misconfigured permissions can leave sensitive files accessible to unauthorized users.
A 2022 study by Varonis found that 53% of companies have over 1,000 sensitive files accessible to all employees. This lack of granularity increases security risks and creates inefficiencies as employees waste time sifting through irrelevant information.
