Do you know what’s happening in your SharePoint environment? Do you know where you most sensitive data is stored. Do you know how secure it actually is?

The chances are that if you have deployed SharePoint, somewhere in your data repositories there is information that, if compromised, is going to cost you more than just a headache.
