Taming Teams for Compliant, Organized, and Secure Collaboration

Microsoft Teams is the hub for modern collaboration, but without strong governance it can quickly become a compliance and content sprawl challenge. The Teams Information Governance Essentials course equips information governance professionals with the knowledge and tools to keep Teams secure, structured, and compliant while supporting seamless business collaboration. 

In this course you will learn how Teams connects with Microsoft 365 services, where data resides, and how to control growth through policies, permissions, and best practices. We will explore retention, DLP, information barriers, and eDiscovery to ensure your organization meets regulatory and legal requirements. By the end you will have the skills to reduce risk, maintain order, and empower users without sacrificing productivity.
