Without Risk & Change Management
Constant threat exposure
MSPs must defend against ransomware, insider risk, and misconfigurations across multiple tenants—often without centralized visibility.
Manual compliance enforcement
Without automation, enforcing policies and maintaining audit readiness is time-consuming and error-prone.
Disruption from unmanaged change
Onboarding, lifecycle events, and change requests introduce risk when not managed with precision and control.
Fragmented toolsets
Disconnected systems for risk monitoring, policy enforcement, and change tracking create inefficiencies and blind spots.
Limited visibility across tenants
Lack of centralized dashboards makes it difficult to detect vulnerabilities and respond quickly to incidents.
Scaling governance without overhead
As MSPs grow, maintaining secure and compliant operations across tenants becomes increasingly complex without automation.

Built for Smart Operations, Secure AI, and Scalable Governance
Smart Operations
AvePoint Risk & Change Management automates policy enforcement, risk detection, and change tracking across Microsoft 365 environments. Partners can reduce manual effort and eliminate inconsistencies while maintaining governance at scale.
Delegated controls and centralized dashboards streamline service delivery and reduce technician overhead. This allows MSPs to deliver high-quality, low-touch governance services across every client.
Value Optimization
By bundling risk monitoring and change governance into recurring service packages, partners unlock new revenue streams. AvePoint enables MSPs to monetize compliance and security as a service, not just a reactive function.
Automation reduces time spent on audits, incident response, and policy enforcement—freeing up resources for strategic growth. This drives profitability while improving client retention and satisfaction.
Secure Cloud & AI Readiness
AvePoint helps partners secure Microsoft 365 environments and prepare clients for AI adoption with confidence. Risk & Change Management ensures sensitive data is protected and collaboration is governed before Copilot or other AI tools are deployed.
Alerts and policy enforcement reduce exposure to misconfigurations and insider threats. This builds trust with clients in regulated industries and positions MSPs as proactive security advisors.
Migration Acceleration
Risk & Change Management supports secure onboarding and tenant transitions by enforcing policies from day one. Partners can confidently migrate clients knowing governance and compliance controls are already in place.
Audit trails and change tracking ensure every migration step is documented and aligned with client expectations. This reduces post-migration risk and accelerates time-to-value for new services.
