AvePoint Cloud Governance
Build a governance framework with an integrated managed self-service experience that will scale with your organization’s digital workplace transformation.
Maximize Employee Experience While Mitigating Risk
Modern platforms like Microsoft 365 and Power Platform are empowering employees to work faster and build more, but they also make governance harder to keep up with.
AvePoint Cloud Governance helps IT apply the right guardrails without adding friction, so collaboration and innovation can scale securely and adapt confidently as your environment evolves.
Understand Every Object and Workspace
Whether you need to revisit earlier creations of Power Platform and Microsoft 365 services or are just deploying, continuously confirming the business context allows IT teams to ensure the right level of access and data classification is being adhered to. Build recertification profiles and schedule automated reviews of all workspaces and objects.
- Complete context
Gain context by requiring key metadata to be populated. - Trust but verify
Eliminate orphaned objects by confirming ownership. - Secure access
Enable least-privileged access review by data owners.
All Workspaces and Objects Have a Shelf Life
Your organization is constantly evolving, and what was once a critical asset may not be relevant today. Reduce sprawl and optimize storage with end-of-life options for workspaces and objects. Apply lifecycle policies to Sites, Groups, Teams, and even agents, keeping what you need and offering disposal options for the rest.
- Prevent sprawl
Automate archiving or deletion actions based on your needs. - Optimize storage
Manage end-of-life options during recertification. - Compliant archival
Use archive options during disposal to meet regulatory obligations.
Put Decision Making in the Hands of the End User
As new assets are created, utilized, and abandoned, input from business stakeholders is critical in knowing what is truly needed, but they often lack the tools to get involved. Make it easy to involve users in the lifecycle management process, guiding them to exactly what they need with a simplified self-service catalog built around your policies and security requirements.
- Simple services
Make governance easy with a customized Microsoft 365 services catalog. - Intuitive design
Questionnaires guide business users to appropriate services. - Control the experience

Scale Guest User Management
No matter your business model, someone in your organization will at some point need to collaborate with an external guest like a vendor, partner, or customer. While external parties are essential to accomplishing goals, there is also an increased risk to your tenant and data every time you add another. Set guardrails for guest users that will guide your employees to make the right choices and ensure they are not overexposing the organization.
- Easy onboarding
Create a transparent and secure guest onboarding process. - Flexible oversight
Support dynamic oversight with conditional approvals. - Complete control
Power contextual policies based on roles and request.
