Microsoft 365 Connected Apps Risk Assessment & Governance

Identify risky Microsoft 365 / Entra ID connected apps (OAuth), understand their

permissions, and enforce ongoing governance — without spreadsheets or guesswork.

Enterprise SaaS dashboard showing Microsoft 365 connected apps with risk levels, permissions, and ownership for OAuth governance.

Microsoft 365 connected apps governance is the process of maintaining visibility and control over third-party and internal applications that access Microsoft 365 through OAuth. These connected apps often operate with delegated or application-level permissions and do not rely on an interactive user session.

Modern Microsoft 365 environments depend heavily on connected apps to automate workflows, integrate systems, and extend functionality. Over time, this creates a growing layer of trusted access that exists outside traditional user-based security controls.

Without proper Microsoft 365 connected apps governance, organizations lose visibility into what apps exist, what permissions they hold, who owns them, and how access changes over time.

AppGuard360 provides continuous visibility and governance for Microsoft 365 connected apps, helping organizations understand access, ownership, and change activity inside their Microsoft 365 tenant.

Why Microsoft 365 Connected Apps Are a Growing Risk

Every Microsoft 365 tenant accumulates connected apps over time — CRMs, scheduling tools, marketing platforms, AI tools, internal scripts, and forgotten test apps.

The problem isn’t just how many apps exist. It’s what they can still access.

Common risks we see:

  • Apps with Mail.ReadWrite or Files.Read.All

  • No assigned business owner

  • Excessive scopes granted years ago

  • Third-party vendors no longer under contract

  • Apps added outside IT visibility

Without governance, these apps quietly remain trusted — even after users leave or vendors change.
