Three Microsoft 365 Mistakes You Make Every Day

Many organisations assume their daily Microsoft 365 setup is enough to keep them secure and productive. Systems are running, staff are collaborating, and nothing seems wrong on the surface. But without intentional best practices, small daily habits can lead to version clutter, exposed data, and hidden security risks.

The result? Businesses and NFPs may unknowingly stall their workflows, expose sensitive company files, and leave critical accounts open to credential-based attacks. Everyday actions like emailing static attachments, broadcasting entire desktops during virtual meetings, and relying on basic passwords leave unnecessary gaps in your IT environment.

This short video explores three practical fixes every leadership team and employee can adopt immediately to optimise Microsoft 365:

  • Secure Cloud Links: Replacing static file attachments with OneDrive and SharePoint links to maintain version control and granular access permissions.

  • Targeted Window Sharing: Sharing specific application windows rather than full desktops in Microsoft Teams to prevent accidental data exposure.

  • Number-Matching MFA: Strengthening user authentication through the Microsoft Authenticator app to stop push-fatigue attacks and protect corporate credentials.
