Microsoft 365 tenants grow over time — Teams channels with no owners, SharePoint sites open to everyone, files shared years ago and never reviewed. AvePoint Elements finds the over-sharing, auto-tags files for sensitivity, and manages the lifecycle of workspaces — so you're in control before AI surfaces anything it shouldn't.
AvePoint Elements is a Microsoft 365 governance platform. It discovers over-shared permissions, auto-classifies content for sensitivity, and manages the lifecycle of Teams and SharePoint workspaces — the heavy lifting that makes Copilot and Purview actually work.
Before enabling Copilot, or if your Microsoft 365 tenant has grown organically and you've lost track of who can see what. Included in the Core AI Security Pack alongside Microsoft Purview.
Permissions discovery and reporting, automatic content classification, workspace lifecycle management for Teams and SharePoint, and integration with Microsoft Purview.
Know where your data is exposed before Copilot finds it, reduce the manual effort of data governance through automation, keep your M365 tenant clean and manageable, and support ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus compliance.

Purview gives you the labelling policies and DLP rules. AvePoint does the actual discovery and auto-tagging — it finds what’s in your tenant and classifies it at scale, feeding the results into Purview’s framework. Together they’re significantly more effective than either on its own.
Things like a SharePoint site created three years ago that’s still open to all staff, a Teams channel shared with an ex-employee’s personal email, or a document shared via a link that anyone with the link can access. Over time, most tenants accumulate dozens of these.
Initial discovery can be completed within days. Remediation is an ongoing process — AvePoint helps prioritise where to focus first.
AvePoint highlights the issues and can automate certain remediation actions, but significant permission changes are typically reviewed by your IT team first to avoid disrupting legitimate access.
It may prompt some workspace reviews or access changes, but day-to-day use isn’t disrupted. Staff might receive lifecycle review notifications if they’re owners of inactive Teams channels.
Over time, Teams and SharePoint sites multiply — projects end, teams change, but the workspaces stay. Lifecycle management identifies inactive workspaces, prompts owners to confirm if they’re still needed, and archives or removes those that aren’t.
AvePoint reads and analyses your M365 tenant data but doesn’t store the documents themselves. Metadata and classification results are retained within the AvePoint platform.
Ongoing. New content and workspaces appear every day — AvePoint continuously monitors and manages the tenant rather than just providing a one-time snapshot.
AvePoint’s discovery and classification capabilities make it significantly easier to locate and export data related to a specific person — which is exactly what a DSAR requires.
No. Any M365 tenant with more than a handful of users benefits from governance tooling. If you handle sensitive data, the permissions discovery and DLP integration are valuable regardless of Copilot plans.
