Next Generation of ShareGate Protect Introduces a Simpler, Smarter Way to Govern Microsoft 365

ShareGate Protect combines deep insights, custom reporting and the ability to take action, all in one place

MONTRÉAL, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ShareGate, the leading out-of-the-box platform trusted globally to simplify Microsoft 365 migration and governance, introduces the next generation of ShareGate Protect, an all-in-one solution that replaces scattered reports and complex permissions with one clear, reliable view. ShareGate Protect exposes hidden risks, streamlines fixes and simplifies governance. The solution brings visibility and action together, helping IT teams find risks fast and fix them before they spread.

As Copilot and AI adoption accelerate, IT teams face rising pressure to strengthen governance and security foundations. ShareGate's latest survey found that 82% of organizations have piloted, partially or fully deployed Copilot. Yet, data quality and access control remain the biggest concerns for IT admins when scaling AI safely. Additionally, 36% said they lack expertise in governance for AI. ShareGate Protect addresses these challenges by giving them one unified view to surface risks, take instant action, and keep Microsoft 365 environments secure, compliant, and ready for the next wave of AI adoption.

"Governance has gotten too complicated with fragmented tools, constant policy changes, and growing AI and security demands," said Benjamin Niaulin, VP of Product at ShareGate. "IT teams shouldn't have to choose between speed and security. ShareGate Protect cuts through the noise, surfacing what matters most so teams can act fast, stay secure, and keep Microsoft 365 Copilot-ready, all without the complexity."

Built from the ground up to make governance simple and actionable, ShareGate Protect helps IT teams identify risks, streamline fixes and maintain secure, compliant and AI-ready Microsoft 365 environments. It combines visibility, insights and custom reporting in one clear platform that keeps governance tasks fast, focused and reliable. Key features include:

• Unified tenant view: Gain instant visibility across Teams, SharePoint, Groups and OneDrive with a single, reliable view of your Microsoft 365 environment.
• Governance risk assessment: Identify oversharing, guest access and inactive workspaces in one clear dashboard, helping teams focus where it matters most. (Future updates will add benchmarking and trendline insights for deeper visibility over time.)
• In-context remediation: Take action directly from insights with no scripts, no switching tools and no extra steps. Fix issues fast and keep collaboration running smoothly.
• Smart insight recommendations: Get contextual guidance that helps you prioritize and resolve issues faster.
• Custom reporting engine and pre-built templates: Build flexible reports or use ready-made templates to prove control and progress with consistent, reliable data.
• AI-powered risk recommendations: Upcoming capabilities will make governance proactive and continuous, giving IT teams the foresight to stop problems before they start.

ShareGate Protect turns governance from a routine task into a strategic advantage. It gives IT teams the clarity and control to keep Microsoft 365 secure, compliant and ready for what's next. Early access is available to current ShareGate members with general access available on November 25.
