Capabilities

What this integration covers.

01

Surface public and org-wide links.

Identify Anyone-with-the-link URLs and broad company-wide permissions across SharePoint document libraries.

02

Verify context with site owners.

Route ambiguous external sharing findings to the responsible employee in Teams or Slack before revoking.

03

Remove eligible permissions fast.

Revoke unneeded anonymous links and external guest permissions directly from Elba without Purview setup.

Example workflow

How the integration supports a specific security task.

  1. 01

    Detect broad exposure

    Elba flags a SharePoint document shared via an anonymous or org-wide link.

  2. 02

    Confirm with the owner

    The site or file owner confirms in Teams or Slack whether external collaboration is still active.

  3. Revoke the permission

    Elba removes the eligible sharing link or guest permission through the SharePoint connection.

Before you connect

Coverage, permissions, and requirements.

SharePoint Data Protection uses a dedicated Microsoft consent flow alongside your Microsoft 365 directory connection. Review the live SharePoint application permissions before authorizing.

Does Elba require Microsoft Purview or SharePoint Advanced Management?

No. Elba connects directly to SharePoint Online through Microsoft Graph OAuth consent without requiring Purview DLP policies or SharePoint Advanced Management add-ons.

How does SharePoint cleanup help secure Microsoft Copilot?

Microsoft Copilot surfaces SharePoint documents that an employee already has permission to read. Removing stale organization-wide links stops Copilot from retrieving sensitive files for unintended internal users.

Can file owners review SharePoint alerts in Microsoft Teams?

Yes. When the Microsoft Teams integration is connected, Elba notifies document owners directly in Teams so they can confirm or revoke sharing without opening admin portals.

Coverage and requirements
  • SharePoint Data Protection is authorized separately from the base Microsoft 365 directory sync.
  • Inherited site-level or Entra group memberships may remain even after an item-level sharing link is removed.
  • Direct remediation applies only to supported SharePoint items and permissions marked eligible in Elba.
