Office 365 Security Reporting: Visibility Is the Key to Cloud Security

Do you know exactly what is happening across your Office 365 environment right now?

Microsoft Office 365 has transformed the way businesses work, offering flexibility, collaboration, and cloud-based productivity. However, as more business-critical activity moves into the cloud, visibility becomes essential. Without clear insight into how Office 365 is being used, security gaps can easily go unnoticed.

Why Visibility Matters in Office 365 Security

Basic security measures such as access controls and multi-factor authentication are important, but they are only part of the picture. To properly secure Office 365, you need to understand user behaviour, configuration changes, and unusual activity across your environment.

Remote working and cloud access make this more challenging. Administrators are no longer protecting a single office network, but a distributed workforce accessing data from multiple locations and devices.

What Is AdminDroid?

AdminDroid is a powerful security reporting and monitoring tool for Microsoft Office 365. It provides a single, unified dashboard that shows the health and activity of your Office 365 tenant in one place.

While Microsoft provides some basic reporting, more detailed insights usually require PowerShell expertise. AdminDroid removes this barrier by presenting clear, visual reports without the need for scripting knowledge.

How AdminDroid Works

AdminDroid connects securely to the Microsoft 365 API using encrypted SSL connections. Once connected, it begins collecting data from across your Office 365 services and populates dashboards and reports with meaningful security insights.

This allows organisations to maintain oversight of users, activity, and configuration changes across Exchange, Azure Active Directory, SharePoint, OneDrive, and more.

What AdminDroid Security Reporting Can Show You

Beyond Dashboards: Actionable Security Insight

AdminDroid offers over 1500 pre-configured reports, allowing security teams to drill into exactly the areas that matter most. These reports help identify misconfigurations, risky behaviour, and potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

Visibility alone is not enough. The real value comes from knowing what to fix and why.
