Microsoft 365 environments are dynamic by design. Content is distributed across sites, users, and services. Permissions change. Versions evolve. Data is rarely static.

For legal and investigative teams, that complexity creates real challenges at collection, especially when native tools or generic utilities aren’t designed for defensibility. Content can be missed. Context can be lost. Small gaps at the start often become larger issues later in the matter.

An effective Microsoft 365 collection requires more than access. It requires the ability to scope and select content accurately, collect it in a defensible manner, and preserve the metadata and relationships that matter once the data moves into processing and review.

That foundation is what allows teams to move forward with confidence.
