By: James Vance – SeaPRwire – Sensitive data left the inbox years ago. It now lives in Teams chats, OneDrive shares, and SharePoint sites. Most email tools never followed it. Trustifi just released Collaboration Shield to close that gap. The platform extends email-grade protection across those Microsoft 365 collaboration tools. It is built first for MSPs and MSSPs that serve regulated clients.
The product facts are concrete. Collaboration Shield scans protected files and messages for sensitive data and threats. It flags risky activity, triggers automated responses, and gives administrators one console for policy enforcement, DLP, threat detection, and audit-ready visibility. Jeff Spridgeon, CEO, said email remains a key battleground but is no longer the only place business-critical data moves. Partners need a simpler way to protect the full communication and collaboration environment without adding another complex tool. Maor Dahan, CTO, noted that the collaboration layer never had a real security perimeter. Business-critical data now travels through Teams messages, OneDrive shares, and SharePoint sites with almost no visibility. The platform continuously scans those workloads, applies DLP classification, detects threats, and supports automated file quarantine with custom rule engines and reviewer workflows. Multi-tenant administration and cross-tenant analytics let MSPs surface exposure they could not see before and contain malicious files or messages in minutes.
The feature set targets the exact blind spots MSPs face daily. More than 70 built-in sensitivity types cover personally identifiable information, financial data, protected health information, credentials, API keys, passwords, and private keys. Administrators can map detections to major frameworks including HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, CCPA, FERPA, GLBA, POPI, LGPD, and PDPO. Dashboards show protected users, total resources, DLP violations, detected threats, trends, top users, source breakdowns, and sensitivity-type distribution. Investigation tools let teams drill into files, users, resources, and events with severity-coded timelines and full file details. The solution works with all Microsoft 365 plans, supports multi-tenant environments, and deploys quickly. It is available now to MSPs and MSSPs. A live webinar is scheduled for August 13 at 10:00 AM PT.
The competitive pattern is already visible. Pure email gateways leave collaboration traffic exposed. Point tools that cover only one Microsoft 365 workload create more consoles and more policy drift. A single policy engine that spans email, files, and collaboration channels reduces that friction. The practical test for any MSP is simple. Pick one regulated client. Measure how many sensitive files or messages currently sit outside the email perimeter. Run Collaboration Shield against that environment. If the new visibility and quarantine speed hold, the platform earns its place in the stack.
