Teams secured and compliant. For regulated industries.
Teams without compliance controls is a regulatory risk. IP Four configures DLP policies, communication compliance, eDiscovery, and information barriers so your Teams environment meets your regulatory obligations.
Every compliance control, properly configured.
DLP, communication compliance, eDiscovery, information barriers, and conditional access. Every Teams compliance control configured to meet your regulatory requirements.
Data Loss Prevention Policies
DLP policies configured to detect and block sensitive data being shared in Teams messages and channels. Credit card numbers, NHS numbers, and commercially sensitive content protected automatically.
Communication Compliance
Communication compliance policies monitor Teams messages for policy violations, inappropriate content, and regulatory breaches. Alerts sent to compliance officers for review and action.
eDiscovery and Legal Hold
eDiscovery configured so Teams messages and files can be searched and exported for legal proceedings. Legal hold applied to preserve content when litigation is anticipated.
Information Barriers
Information barriers prevent specific groups from communicating in Teams. Required for financial services firms with Chinese wall obligations and organisations with conflict of interest requirements.
