**Would you know if someone had added themselves as an administrator to your Microsoft 365?**
It's quite common for businesses to have more administrator accounts than they realise. Someone needed access for a project, an old IT supplier created an account, or a member of staff was given additional permissions years ago and nobody ever went back to review them.
The more administrator accounts you have, the more opportunities there are for one of those accounts to be compromised. We regularly review who has privileged access for our clients and whether they genuinely still need it. Ideally, the accounts people use every day shouldn't have administrator rights either.
It's a relatively simple thing to check, but it's also the sort of thing that can easily be forgotten once everything is working.
Do you know exactly who has administrator access to your Microsoft 365 tenant today?
