Orchestry Launches Game-changing Tools for Microsoft 365 Security and Governance
Controlling permissions and ensuring secure access in Microsoft 365 environments has long been a headache for IT teams, particularly with thousands of shared files and folders creating unseen vulnerabilities. Orchestry's new sharing links reporting and remediation feature offers a cutting-edge solution, efficiently identifying outdated or risky sharing links, and dramatically reducing the need for time-intensive manual audits.
"The sharing links reporting and remediation feature is a game-changer, helping customers scan an average of 40,000 links per 1,400 workspaces. That's thousands of potentially risky or outdated links surfaced automatically—saving hours of manual audits and reducing compliance risks," said Orchestry CEO Michal Pisarek.
Key functionalities include comprehensive sharing link reporting across Teams and SharePoint, advanced filtering options for targeted audits, and bulk deletion capabilities to remove outdated links with ease. Additionally, detailed insights into link behaviors, such as creator and last accessed date, empower organizations to proactively secure their data and minimize risks.
Complementing the sharing links feature, Orchestry has also introduced broken inheritance reporting and remediation to tackle another persistent issue in Microsoft 365. Broken inheritance occurs when custom permissions override established group- or site-level settings, creating unmanaged access points. Orchestry's solution offers an intuitive dashboard to detect and classify broken inheritance instances, pinpoint their origins, and restore proper permissions with a single click.
With these tools, Orchestry delivers what IT teams have long sought but could not achieve with out-of-the-box Microsoft 365 tools. By automating permissions management and highlighting risks, Orchestry provides a scalable governance framework that enhances compliance, reduces manual workloads, and secures sensitive data.
Orchestry's latest release also introduces new features to further enhance Microsoft 365 governance and efficiency. These include expanded sensitivity label visibility in Workspace Review, periodic Workspace Privacy validation, and Search & Copilot Visibility for sensitive workspaces.
In addition, Orchestry launched the industry-first Copilot Readiness Dashboard, consolidating 13 governance signals to provide a unified assessment of an organization's preparation for integrating Microsoft Copilot technology. Beacon 2.0, a read-only, streamlined management tool, also debuted as part of this release, enabling partners and administrators to achieve comprehensive tenant-wide reporting at a fraction of the cost.
"These latest enhancements continue our mission of transforming Microsoft 365 management for our customers," added Pisarek. "With a laser focus on governance, security, and operational efficiency, Orchestry is setting the bar higher for M365 administrators facing increasing complexity in their environments."
These features mark a significant leap forward for Microsoft 365 security and governance, helping organizations move from reactive management to proactive risk mitigation. They're just the latest example of Orchestry's commitment to innovation in delivering robust, enterprise-grade solutions that simplify Microsoft 365 administration and governance.
Orchestry is an all-in-one enterprise-grade Microsoft 365 management platform that provides unparalleled predictive insights and automated governance. By ensuring secure, cost-effective, and AI-ready workspaces, Orchestry empowers organizations to achieve operational agility, enhanced compliance, and strategic growth.

Biomass cogeneration facility to replace diesel energy source and create jobs Disponible en français 4.8-megawatt biomass plant will ensure long-term energy security and foster economic development for the Atikamekw of Opitciwan community Facility will cut use of 4.6 million litres of diesel annually and prevent frequent power outages Will support 40 jobs during construction and 15 direct and indirect full-time jobs during operations OPITCIWAN, QC, July 24, 2025 /CNW/ - The Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) has closed a $24-million loan to support the Atikamekw of Opitciwan, a remote First Nation community in Northern Quebec, in its energy transition aimed at significantly reducing diesel as its primary energy source. Onimiskiw Opitciwan Limited Partnership will construct and operate the 4.8-megawatt Centrale de cogénération d'Opitciwan. The facility will generate electricity by burning bark, sawdust and woodchips produced by an adjacent sawmill. Additionally, steam from the new energy plant will power a new wood kiln at the sawmill. The project will bring significant health and environmental benefits for the community of 2,500 members by reducing nitrogen oxide and sulphur dioxide emissions from the current diesel-based energy generation. The sustainable energy initiative will cut more than 11,000 tonnes of emissions and reduce the use of diesel by 4.6 million litres annually. The project, along with the CIB's investment, could serve as a model to support other Indigenous communities in Quebec and across Canada by reducing their reliance on diesel as their primary energy source, through the integration of renewable sources. The new power plant will support 40 jobs during construction and 15 direct and indirect full-time jobs during operations. The facility is designed to accommodate community growth, including the capacity to support future housing development. The Centrale de cogénération d'Opitciwan, along with a new substation and battery energy storage system built by Hydro-Quebec, will significantly improve the stability of community's independent electrical network, which currently experiences frequent power outages. Endorsements The CIB is pleased to support the Atikamekw of Opitciwan First Nation in the development of this cogeneration plant which will supply the community with a reliable, secure energy source, along with additional economic opportunities. Financing from the CIB's Indigenous Community Infrastructure Initiative will eliminate diesel as the community's primary energy source. Cleaner energy options are needed in many remote Indigenous communities and the CIB is proud of the work we are doing to support these projects across Canada. Ehre n Cory, CEO, Canada Infrastructure Bank Investments like these—that support our communities, build energy independence, and create good-paying jobs—are driving Indigenous-led infrastructure projects across the country. The Canada Infrastructure Bank's $24 million investment in the Atikamekw of Opitciwan's biomass cogeneration facility is good news for our riding and a testament to the country we're building together with all our partners. Hon. François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Finance and National Revenue, on behalf of the Hon. Gregor Robertson, Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Minister responsible for Pacific Economic Development Canada Remote Indigenous communities face unique barriers that require tailored solutions. The Atikamekw of Opitciwan project is a vital step forward, providing support not only to the Opitciwan community but also serving as a model to empower Indigenous communities across the country.
