AVEPOINT IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON WORKPLACE COLLABORATION SURVEY REVEALS 75% OF
COMPANIES DEPLOYED MICROSOFT TEAMS WITHOUT PROPER GOVERNANCE OR SECURITY
The pandemic induced a rush to digital collaboration that left the over three
quarters of businesses leveraging Office 365 and 97% communicating via Microsoft
Teams exposed to potential risk.

LONDON, June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- AvePoint, Inc. ("AvePoint") the largest
data management solutions provider for Microsoft 365, today announced the
results of its Impact of COVID-19 on Workplace Collaboration Survey. The 2021
report, conducted in partnership with Exec Survey and iGov Survey, reveals how
over 200 unique organisations in the U.K. enabled seamless business continuity
amid rapid societal change, where they face security challenges today, and what
policies and procedures they are prioritising in the next six months.
* Despite a quick pivot to digital, most companies did not have a roll out
plan: Since the speed of deployment was crucial to workplace productivity,
three quarters (75%) of organsations deployed Microsoft Teams without proper
governance or security in place, leaving them vulnerable to internal and
external threats.
* IT teams express confidence in their collaboration security: Nearly all (95%)
of companies believe they are compliant with internal and external
regulations. Similarly, only 7% lacked confidence that their digital
collaboration deployment was secure from data leaks and unauthorised access.
* However, only about a quarter are currently doing routine governance,
compliance, and security tasks: Annually, just 28% check the settings and
membership of Microsoft Teams, to identify potential risks. Only 25% remove
guest users, in addition to less than a quarter (22%) who can determine who
has access to specific data for audits, and the mere 13% who can restore
individual files deleted for a year or longer.
"While the speed at which many organisations pivoted to the cloud this year was
nothing short of amazing, that may have come with major security trade-offs,"
said John Peluso, Chief Product Officer at AvePoint, and Microsoft Regional
Director. "But I am optimistic because, as our survey revealed, many businesses
now have an opportunity to reduce risk in the near and long-term with proper
governance solutions in place."
Consistent with the over 145 million daily active Teams users Microsoft recently
announced, AvePoint found that only 3% of companies do not leverage Teams today.
Further, regular Office 365 usage jumped from nearly half (48%) pre-pandemic to
now over three quarters (76%).
* Increased Microsoft Teams usage is creating more demand for collaboration
security, but blockers remain: Despite widespread adoption of new digital
communications tools, 43% of companies believe making them compliant is
challenging. In fact, 37% want to invest in Teams governance and management
in the future to reduce the burden on IT and more confidently ensure they are
compliant with regional and industry specific guidelines like records – which
only 23% of companies capture across Teams.
* IT Teams experienced heightened demand: Nearly half (48%) of organisations'
IT teams need hours or days to create digital workspaces like Microsoft Teams
or SharePoint once requested by employees, which can lead to low adoption and
shadow IT. As a result of increased responsibilities, the biggest challenge
for 56% of organizations is the surging burden on IT when it comes to
managing and servicing new collaboration tools.
"Our digital collaboration survey found that it is near impossible for employees
to always comply with relevant policies, and for IT to monitor said activity,
especially with the increased responsibilities they've taken on over the past
year and a half," said John Hodges, SVP Product Strategy, AvePoint. "That's why
there is a growing need for governance automation for any company leveraging
tools like Microsoft Teams."
Earlier in the pandemic, AvePoint launched Policies and Insights (PI), the only
solution that monitors sensitive content exposure across Microsoft 365 and
proactively enforces policies to prevent data oversharing, after identified the
need for more secure, compliant collaboration in Teams, AvePoint will continue
to build upon its over two decades of innovation.
"As more companies adopt cloud-based tools for digital collaboration, it is
becoming increasingly important to understand the data created, and who has
access to it," said Nigel Kilpatrick, Country Manager, UK, Ireland and South
Africa, AvePoint. "Even as companies return to hybrid work environments, scaling
management, governance and compliance remains vital."
