How to ensure the M365 Unified Audit Log remains turned on at all times.

Keep Your Microsoft 365 Safe and Sound: Why You Need to Watch Over Your Audit Logs

Let's Talk About Keeping an Eye on Things

If you're helping businesses manage their Microsoft 365, you know it's a lot like spinning plates. You've got to keep everything running smoothly, especially when it comes to keeping things secure. There's this thing called the Unified Audit Log (UAL) that's super important but often gets overlooked.

Why the UAL is Your Best Friend

Think of the UAL as a security camera for Microsoft 365. It records everything that happens, so if something weird or bad goes down, you can figure out what it was. If something gets deleted by accident or someone sneaks in who shouldn't be there, the UAL helps you tell the story of what happened.

But, Keeping It On Can Be Tricky

Sometimes, even if you turned it on, it might get turned off without you noticing. It could be an honest mistake, someone messing with things they shouldn’t, or even a hacker trying to cover their tracks. And if you can't see what happened because the UAL was off, well, that's not a good look.

How We Make It Easy

Here's where MSP Easy Tools comes into play. It acts like a watchdog for your Unified Audit Log. With our Microsoft 365 monitoring and alerting tools for MSPs, if the UAL ever gets turned off, you are notified immediately so you can take action before visibility is lost.

Instead of manually checking settings across tenants, you gain automated oversight that ensures critical security logging stays enabled. For new customers, the Unified Audit Log can also be enabled as part of a structured, consistent setup process, removing the risk of it being missed.

This means you do not have to constantly check whether everything is working as it should. You have continuous visibility, without adding more manual work to your day.

In a Nutshell

Adding MSP Easy Tools to your toolbox means you can keep your focus on helping businesses thrive with Microsoft 365, without sweating the small stuff. We help you keep the lights on and the doors locked, so you can sleep easy at night, knowing your clients are safe.
