Most of the times the updates are available free of cost!
  • 10. Secure:

    Security is always a top priority for any organization. Using SharePoint Online and the process of giving external access is an easy task. Security of your data should be the last thing on your mind because Microsoft offers incredible protection by encrypting the data with BitLocker while it is being stored at their Data Centres, the location of which is a piece of classified information. To give access, the Microsoft Account needs to be connected with the company email and guest links can be created to provide uses access to folders and files or site created in SharePoint. Organizations can also provide access to specific groups, and some user behaviour can be blocked, and users can be prevented from sharing a particular type of information. So, there’s no compromise on the security as organizations can keep the sensitive information on the private network and thus data can be accessed without creating any additional authentication systems.
