This put a scope (pre-assessment) on those applications unready or behind in development efforts.
Valuable Features:
Application Start control, of course, but the refresh and deployment was beneficial to our global efforts. Lot of accounting types in organisation. AZURE AD subscriber has updates within product. Compliance to ECCN/CCAT (exporting), NIST, ISO, IEEE; quick and efficient closure. Abandon IE, Mozilla (e.g.Chrome, FireFox); settle with EDGE was challenging and big adjustment. This put a scope (pre-assessment) on those applications unready or behind in development efforts, devops pre-scanning had to be deployed. Long 10 months and rework in devops, set SDLC with some suppliers to perform or loose, sign-offs on setting on virtual site (i.e. closed to desktops by policy).
Project include 2016 Office 365 Products, and fresh start.
Improvements to My Organization:
Reduction of security incident events and mundane tasks in 3 months.
Room for Improvement:
Lots of updates, but not lots of production.
