Microsoft 365
The Microsoft 365 (M365) integration detects a variety of user security, data loss prevention, and misconfiguration risks in an integrated Microsoft 365 account that could leave you and your organization vulnerable.
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 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.AllCalendars.ReadDomain.Read.AllGroup.Read.AllMailboxSettings.Readoffline_accessRoleManagement.Read.AllUser.Read.AllUserAuthenticationMethod.Read.All
These permissions follow the principle of least privilege to ensure that only the minimum required access is granted. To learn more about each permission, refer to the Microsoft Graph permissions documentation.
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.
User account settings
Keep user accounts safe by ensuring the following settings are maintained. Review password configurations and password strengths to ensure alignment to your organization’s security policies and best practices.
| Finding | Severity |

| Microsoft Domain SPF Record Not Present | Medium |
| Microsoft Domain DMARC Record Not Present | Medium |
| Microsoft Domain DMARC Not Enforced | Medium |

| Microsoft Domain Not Verified | Medium |
| App Certification Expires in 90 Days or Sooner | Low |
Email forwarding
Get alerted when users set their email to be forwarded externally. This can either be a sign of unauthorized activity, or an employee unknowingly sending potentially sensitive information to a personal email.
| Finding | Severity |
|---|---|
| Active Message Rule Forwards Externally As Attachment | Low |
