User Review
( votes)Without granular, policy-based access controls, there is no way to enforce PoLP, leading to overexposed data, increased cybersecurity risk, and potential compliance violations, particularly when handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) under NIST SP 800-171 and SP 800-53.
Example Risk:
- Sales representatives in Dynamics 365 should access customer invoices, but without microsegmentation, they might also view legal contracts or HR-related documents stored in SharePoint.
Even if IT administrators manually restrict access, the lack of synchronized permissions between Dynamics 365 and SharePoint means that access controls remain misaligned, creating gaps in enforcement. This disconnect increases the risk of unintentional data exposure, insider threats, and non-compliance with critical standards such as NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, and GDPR—especially for organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Without an effective solution to automate and enforce permission replication, organizations risk inconsistent access control policies that undermine security and regulatory efforts.
