The new solution provides visibility and control of SharePoint permissions at the file, folder, and item level, allowing organizations to prioritize and address risks.
CoreView, the world leader in Microsoft 365 tenant resiliency, launched CoreView Control for SharePoint after the introduction of AI uncovered the long-standing risks associated with SharePoint oversharing and item-level permissions. CoreView research found that 68% of IT leaders flag anonymous shared links as a security risk, and 76% of IT leaders are concerned that AI will surface sensitive files that their teams didn’t know were leaked.
Control for SharePoint provides risk-ranked visibility across files, folders, and items, automatic remediation, and exportable audit evidence to help organizations identify and address risks across their SharePoint assets.
An enterprise SharePoint environment can hold hundreds of millions of files and folders, each with unique permissions. Over time, uninherited permissions, externally shared links, and direct permissions can accumulate on thousands of sites, creating a risk that becomes harder to identify and even harder to manage at scale. Historically, organizations have struggled to recognize, prioritize, and systematically address these risks.
said Andrea Sivieri, Chief Product and Technology Officer at CoreView. “AI is changing the way organizations think about permissions in SharePoint.” “Many are finding that they have much less visibility into SharePoint access than they thought, especially at the file and folder level. In large environments, permissions accumulate over many years across millions of items. Understanding the scope of that exposure is a prerequisite to deploying AI with confidence.”

Control for SharePoint enables organizations to move from investigation to action. Remediation tasks can be assigned directly to site owners to check permissions, revoke access, and address oversharing without all requests going through central IT.
All access review decisions and remediation actions are logged, creating an auditable record that can be exported if needed. Instead of relying on PowerShell scripts, CSV exports, or one-off reports, organizations can continuously understand who changed what, when, and what changed.
“With CoreView’s new Control for SharePoint, everything is in one place. Filtering and drill-down capabilities help you quickly identify areas that need attention, and the ability to link to related reports makes it easy to glean deeper insights and take action,” said Tina Boutin, Microsoft 365 architect at Goodwill Northern New England.
“CoreView Control for SharePoint allows us to see at a glance data that previously required significant time and effort to collect and analyze,” said Neil Fleck, manager of email security and cloud services at Middleby.
Control for SharePoint is available as an add-on to CoreView’s core platform, following the recent release of CoreView’s AI-powered M365 administrator, Corey, and CoreView’s Tenant Resilience and Tenant Management capabilities.
