About this tool
The Oversharing Detection tool identifies six types of sharing risks across your SharePoint environment. Find anonymous links that allow anyone on the internet to access your content, "Everyone" permissions that open files to all organization members, and excessive external sharing.
Prioritize findings by risk level to focus remediation on the most critical exposures. Export results with direct links to the shared content for quick remediation.
Essential before deploying Microsoft Copilot or other AI tools that could surface improperly shared content.

Limitations & out-of-scope
Oversharing Detection: Detective control only: findings are reported, never auto-remediated. Severity rankings use the documented heuristic and may diverge from Microsoft Secure Score. Detection coverage stops at the Graph permission surface declared above — workloads behind tenant-licensed add-ons (Defender XDR, Purview eDiscovery Premium) require the matching license to enumerate.
