Cloud Apps Discovery
Uncover shadow IT: identify, assess, and control all cloud apps in use. Included in M365 E3.
Your Employees Use 1,000+ Cloud Apps — You Know About 40
Every unsanctioned cloud app is a potential data leak: customer data in Trello, contracts in Dropbox, passwords in LastPass. IT departments typically know 30-40 apps — the actual number exceeds 1,000. Without transparency, no control.
Cloud App Discovery is already included in Microsoft 365 E3 (via Entra ID P1). Integration with Defender for Endpoint captures traffic automatically — including from remote employees. All that is missing is activation, analysis, and a governance process.

3 steps. From start to finished project
How a typical Microsoft project runs with DAMALO
STEP 1
Choose a blueprint and analyze your environment
Select a proven blueprint. AI agents pull your licenses, current config, and compliance needs into the plan. No generic advice.
STEP 2
Receive your plan and start implementation
Review the plan. AI agents draft architecture, sequence tasks, and map dependencies to Microsoft best practices. Tailored to your tenant.
STEP 3
Guided implementation through to completion
Execute step by step. AI agents provide PowerShell scripts, admin center deep-links, and walkthroughs. Every change auto-documented.
The result: A completed Microsoft project in 1-2 weeks. Documented. Audit-ready. Understood by your team. Adjustable at any time. No change requests. No follow-up engagements.
