The Microsoft 365 (M365) integration detects a variety of data loss prevention, account misconfiguration, and user security risks in an integrated Microsoft 365 account that could leave you and your organization vulnerable.

This integration covers the following Microsoft 365 products:

* [Admin Center](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/microsoft-365/admin-center/)
* [OneDrive](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/microsoft-365/onedrive/)
* [Outlook](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/microsoft-365/outlook/)
* [SharePoint](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/microsoft-365/sharepoint/)
* [Admin Center (FedRAMP)](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/microsoft-365/admin-center-fedramp/)
* [OneDrive (FedRAMP)](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/microsoft-365/onedrive-fedramp/)
* [Outlook (FedRAMP)](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/microsoft-365/outlook-fedramp/)
* [SharePoint (FedRAMP)](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/microsoft-365/sharepoint-fedramp/)

## Integration prerequisites

* A Microsoft 365 account with an active Microsoft Business Basic, Microsoft Business Standard, Microsoft 365 E3, Microsoft 365 E5, or Microsoft 365 F3 subscription
* [Global admin role](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/add-users/about-admin-roles?view=o365-worldwide#commonly-used-microsoft-365-admin-center-roles) or equivalent permissions in Microsoft 365

## Integration permissions

For the Microsoft 365 integration to function, Cloudflare CASB requires the following delegated Microsoft Graph API permissions:

* `Application.Read.All`
* `Calendars.Read`
* `Domain.Read.All`
* `Group.Read.All`
* `InformationProtectionPolicy.Read.All`
* `MailboxSettings.Read`
* `offline_access`
* `RoleManagement.Read.All`
* `User.Read.All`
* `UserAuthenticationMethod.Read.All`
* `Files.Read.All`
* `AuditLog.Read.All`

These permissions follow the principle of least privilege to ensure that only the minimum required access is granted.

Additionally, to [remediate findings](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/cloud-and-saas-findings/manage-findings/#remediate-findings), CASB requires the following permissions:

* `Application.ReadWrite.All`
* `AuditLog.Read.All`
* `Calendars.ReadWrite`
* `Domain.ReadWrite.All`
* `Files.ReadWrite.All`
* `Group.ReadWrite.All`
* `InformationProtectionPolicy.Read.All`
* `MailboxSettings.ReadWrite`
* `IdentityRiskyUser.ReadWrite.All`
* `RoleManagement.ReadWrite.Directory`
* `User.ReadWrite.All`
* `UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite.All`
* `Directory.ReadWrite.All`
* `GroupMember.ReadWrite.All`
* `Organization.ReadWrite.All`
* `Mail.ReadWrite`

To learn more about each permission, refer to the [Microsoft Graph permissions documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/permissions-reference).

## Security findings

The Microsoft 365 integration currently scans for the following findings, or security risks. Findings are grouped by category and then ordered by [severity level](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/cloud-and-saas-findings/manage-findings/#severity-levels).

To stay up-to-date with new CASB findings as they are added, bookmark this page or subscribe to its [RSS feed](https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-docs/commits/production/src/content/docs/cloudflare-one/integrations/cloud-and-saas/microsoft-365.mdx.atom).

### Data Loss Prevention (optional)

These findings will only appear if you [added DLP profiles](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/cloud-and-saas-findings/casb-dlp/) to your CASB integration.

Additionally, you can automatically remediate certain finding types directly from CASB. For more information, refer to [Remediate findings](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/cloud-and-saas-findings/manage-findings/#remediate-findings).

| Finding type | FindingTypeID | Severity |
| - | - | - |
| Microsoft: File publicly accessible with edit access with DLP Profile match | `7b6ecb52-852f-4184-bf19-175fe59202b7` | Critical |

### Third-party apps

Identify and get alerted about the third-party apps that have access to at least one service in your Microsoft 365 domain. Additionally, receive information about which services are being accessed and by whom to get full visibility into [shadow IT](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/access-management/what-is-shadow-it/).

| Finding type | FindingTypeID | Severity |
| - | - | - |
| Microsoft: App not certified by Microsoft | `3f049bb1-3709-4d8f-8591-59dd034cf396` | Low |
| Microsoft: App not attested by publisher | `d7390d6b-f466-4293-8528-6218e29b1179` | Low |

### Email administrator settings

Discover suspicious or insecure email configurations in your Microsoft domain. Missing SPF and DMARC records make it easier for bad actors to spoof email, while SPF records configured to another domain can be a potential warning sign of malicious activity.

| Finding type | FindingTypeID | Severity |
| - | - | - |
| Microsoft: Domain SPF record allows any IP address | `27893e48-663e-43f9-83d4-c158c50259d0` | High |

| Finding type | FindingTypeID | Severity |
| - | - | - |
| Microsoft: Active message rule forwards externally as attachment | `9efca21a-aba2-452f-bb17-e66d34b58765` | Low |
| Microsoft: Active message rule forwards externally | `42fa3fe6-da72-4bf0-9bc9-5faa4a118ec4` | Low |
| Microsoft: Active message rule redirects externally | `b75ba81e-c98d-4b78-b5a1-47a2f54499e8` | Low |

## Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) sensitivity labels

Note

Requires [Cloudflare DLP](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/data-loss-prevention/).

Microsoft provides [MIP sensitivity labels](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/sensitivity-labels?view=o365-worldwide) to classify and protect sensitive data. When you add the CASB Microsoft 365 integration, Cloudflare will automatically retrieve the labels from your Microsoft account and populate them in a [DLP Profile](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/data-loss-prevention/dlp-profiles/integration-profiles/).
