Cloud Apps Discovery

Uncover shadow IT: identify, assess, and control all cloud apps in use. Shadow IT discovery is included in M365 E3.

Shadow IT Is Not a Policy Problem. It Is a Visibility Problem.

Every unsanctioned cloud app is a potential data leak: customer data in Trello, contracts in Dropbox, passwords in LastPass. The traffic already passes your firewall or proxy — the record exists, nobody evaluates it. And a policy cannot govern an app nobody knows is in use.

Cloud App Discovery is already included in Microsoft 365 E3 (via Entra ID P1). Your existing firewall and proxy logs feed the analysis — continuously, without touching a single endpoint. All that is missing is activation, analysis, and a governance process.

ACTIVITIES IN DETAIL

DELIVERABLES

Privacy Frame: Anonymization and works council agreement settled before the first log
Cloud Discovery: Continuous log feed from your existing firewall or proxy
Risk Analysis: Top 50 apps assessed, generative AI apps as their own pass
App Governance: Sanctioned and unsanctioned classification against risk score thresholds
Blocking: Block script for supported appliances, domain list for the rest, proven on one app
Review Routine: The weekly discovered-app review with roles and escalation path

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.

Next steps after Cloud Apps Discovery

A cleanly configured tenant is the foundation. These blueprints build directly on it

Defender for Cloud Apps

Security

Microsoft 365

Problem: Knowing which cloud apps are in use is not protection. Users download confidential files to personal devices, and the OAuth apps in your tenant were consented to one at a time, with nobody holding the list. Reporting a leak afterwards comes too late — the control has to sit in the session itself.

Scope: App connectors for Microsoft 365 and your prioritized SaaS apps - OAuth app review and running app governance policies - Conditional Access App Control for critical apps - Three session policies: block downloads to unmanaged devices, inspect uploads, block malware

Result: Controlled cloud app landscape with session control, OAuth governance, and Conditional Access App Control — audit-ready.

Microsoft Purview Information Protection

Security

Microsoft 365

Problem: Without sensitivity labels, neither employees nor systems know which data is sensitive. Unclassified data cannot be protected.

Scope: Define label taxonomy with 4-6 core labels - Configure sensitivity labels for documents, emails, and containers - Set up default labels and mandatory labeling - Pilot group and phased rollout

Result: Structured data classification as the foundation for DLP, Copilot, and GDPR compliance.

Defender for Business

Security

Microsoft 365

Problem: Most mid-market companies have antivirus — but no Endpoint Detection & Response. Attacks are detected but not automatically stopped. Defender for Business is included in M365 Business Premium, for tenants up to 300 users.

Scope: Device onboarding for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android - Next-Gen Protection and firewall policy review - Web content filtering plus ASR rules and Controlled Folder Access in audit mode first, with a dated switch to block - Automatic Attack Disruption, vulnerability baseline, and incident response playbook

Result: Complete endpoint security with EDR, automatic attack disruption, and audit-ready documentation.
