Microsoft quietly dropped Entra Backup and Recovery into Public Preview in March 2026. Before this feature, Entra ID had no native rollback capability for most object types. A deleted security group was gone permanently, no recycle bin, no soft-delete window. A misconfigured Conditional Access policy meant a manual rebuild. A corrupted service principal meant starting […]
Most MSPs don’t discover security gaps because they were looking for them. They find them mid-ticket, during a breach, or when a client calls with a problem that shouldn’t exist. A Conditional Access policy that was never deployed. Legacy authentication still wide open. Something that should have been caught six months ago. I built CloudCapsule […]
Here’s something that bothers me about the MSP industry: we hand technicians the keys to dozens, sometimes hundreds, of Microsoft 365 tenants, and then we expect them to just figure out security on the job.

The short version: the free 30-day grace period that kicks in when a subscription expires is going away. Starting May 4, 2026, Microsoft is replacing it with a paid […]
If you’ve ever set up a DLP policy in Microsoft 365, you’ve probably experienced the false positive problem. You create a rule to catch Social Security numbers, and suddenly it’s flagging phone numbers, project codes, and invoice numbers. Users start overriding policies. Admins start ignoring alerts. The whole thing falls apart. Exact Data Match fixes […]
Guest users are one of the most powerful collaboration features in Microsoft 365. They allow organizations to work with vendors, consultants, customers, and partners without creating full internal accounts. But if you ask most administrators how guest users get created in their tenant, the answer is usually simple. Someone sends an invite. That answer is […]

Do You Really Know Where Your HR Data Lives in Microsoft 365? Most HR teams think they know where their sensitive data lives. “We have a locked-down HR SharePoint site.”“Only HR can access it.”“There’s no external sharing.” On paper, that sounds great. But here’s the real question: Do you actually know where your HR data […]
