Keeping Your SharePoint Assets Secure with SharePoint Reports

Any change to farm configuration on your site, modification to permissions, or unauthorized access to sensitive content on your Microsoft SharePoint Server can threaten your data security, render critical services unavailable or lead to a failure at your next compliance check. To sleep tight at night, you need to be sure that no suspicious action in your SharePoint environment goes unnoticed. You need easy-to-read SharePoint reports on all activity with all the details for each action, as well as efficient SharePoint list reporting, so nothing important can slip under your radar.

Enabling SharePoint reporting with native tools

Your SharePoint environment is critical to your organization's business collaboration strategy, productivity, information management and more. However, SharePoint's underlying infrastructure is prone to accidental and malicious changes, as well as unauthorized data access. To mitigate these risks, you need to proactively monitor and neutralize security and compliance violations, from the moment your data is created through its entire lifecycle.

Built-in reporting in SharePoint is rather limited. Be ready not only to manually create reports by exporting audit data via Excel services into a table format, but also sift through mountains of audit data in order to spot a suspicious action. Moreover, SharePoint reports generated by SQL Server Reporting Services or created with Report Builder lack easy-to-read details that could expedite getting to the root cause of a problem. To top it all off, you can’t subscribe to the reports you need to view them on a regular basis.
