A new Microsoft 365 Audit Platform service plan is available to license solutions like App Governance in Microsoft 365 Defender for Cloud Apps. After a shaky start, App Governance includes some useful functionality, including a set of default policies to highlight apps that need some attention. If you don’t have the necessary licenses to use App Governance, there’s always the examination of raw data about app activity, like sign-in information for app service principals.

The preview of a new app governance add-on for Microsoft Client App Security gives Office 365 administrators insight into Graph-based apps. The add-on depends on information gathered from Azure AD and MCAS to generate insights about apps and their usage, including highlighting apps which are overprivileged or highly privileged. Although you can do some of the auditing yourself, the add-on makes it easier. It’s a preview, so some glitches are present.
