SharePoint Governance
Give SharePoint and Teams clear rules and owners
Sites multiply, files are shared in different ways, and nobody knows who owns the old spaces. We help you plan SharePoint and Teams governance, using Orchestry where it fits to make creation, ownership, and lifecycle decisions easier to manage. Our Canadian Microsoft 365 team works with content owners and your IT provider to make governance practical.

Make the rules easier to follow every day
Define how shared spaces are requested, organized, reviewed, and retired. Orchestry can support the agreed provisioning and lifecycle approach, alongside clear guidance for the people responsible for each site or team.
We review the current environment, agree governance decisions, and configure the scoped Orchestry workflows. We test with site owners and provide training and documentation for the ongoing process.
What governance work can include
- Site and team ownership model
- Naming and workspace standards
- Templates for agreed workspace types
- Request and approval workflows
- Orchestry setup for agreed scenarios
- Owner reviews and lifecycle reminders
- Archive and retirement processes
- Sharing-model recommendations
- Governance guidance and owner training
Keep growth from creating more confusion
Featured governance benefits
Make new spaces easier to manage
Use agreed templates and creation steps so teams start with a structure they understand and can maintain.
Reduce uncertainty about ownership
Give each space a responsible owner and a review process, making it clearer who needs to act when something changes.
Keep the environment useful over time
Bring old or unused spaces into a planned review and archive process so current work is easier to find.
Questions about SharePoint and Microsoft 365 governance
Is Orchestry required for SharePoint governance?
No. We start with your ownership, creation, and lifecycle needs, then assess whether Orchestry adds useful control. A simpler governance model may be enough when the environment is small or the workflows are limited.
What does Orchestry do in this service?
It can support agreed workspace templates, provisioning requests, owner reviews, and lifecycle processes across Microsoft 365. We define the scenarios and configuration with your team. Orchestry licensing and product limits are reviewed before implementation.
Does this include security operations or tenant administration?
No. We focus on SharePoint and Teams governance and scoped Orchestry workflows. Tenant identity controls, security operations, and infrastructure administration stay with your IT or security provider. We document and coordinate requirements that affect their work.
Can you help with retention and sensitivity labels?
Those controls need a separately agreed scope and the right licences. We work with your information owners and IT provider to define requirements. Our SharePoint records management work can help structure the information and lifecycle plan.
Who maintains governance after handover?
Your organization assigns owners for workspace decisions and administration. We provide the agreed guidance and training. Ongoing review or support can be arranged separately, with responsibilities and access clear before the project ends.
