Govern Microsoft 365 workspaces before sprawl starts.
Every new Team, SharePoint site, project space, or deal room is a governance decision. nBold lets you control workspace creation, apply policy at the start, manage lifecycle, and remediate at scale — without forcing business users back into manual tickets.
Workspaces are easy to create — and hard to govern.
Microsoft Teams and SharePoint make collaboration fast. But when workspace creation is unmanaged, the tenant becomes harder to control. Teams are created with inconsistent names. SharePoint sites grow without clear purpose. Guests are invited without consistent review. Projects end, but their workspaces stay active. Owners leave. Documents remain in stale spaces. Admins are left to clean up later.
The result is workspace sprawl — duplicate Teams, ownerless workspaces, inconsistent naming, unclear permissions, unmanaged guests, stale SharePoint sites, incomplete lifecycle controls, manual remediation, and audit questions that take too long to answer.
Bring governance to the moment of creation.
Define how workspaces should be created before users create them. Instead of a blank Team or an unmanaged SharePoint site, business users launch approved templates from a catalog — and each template applies the right rules automatically.
The workspace starts governed.
Naming convention, approval workflow, Teams and SharePoint structure, Planner board, privacy setting, owner and member rules, guest access rules, sensitivity label, metadata, lifecycle policy, and audit trail are built into the template — so the rules are applied at creation, not bolted on later.
Self-service with guardrails.
You should not have to choose between open creation and manual ticketing. Business teams request or create the workspaces they need; you define the rules that apply automatically. That means fewer tickets, fewer exceptions, and fewer unmanaged spaces created outside the process.
Capabilities for Microsoft 365 Admins.
A practical governance and automation layer for the work of running Teams and SharePoint at scale.
Control how new Teams, SharePoint sites, channels, Planner boards, folders, and tabs are created — from approved templates instead of blank spaces.
Apply consistent naming rules so workspaces are easier to identify, search, support, and audit across the tenant.
Route workspace creation through the right approval flow when the process requires control — without falling back to manual tickets.
Define owners, members, guests, privacy, and role-based rules as part of the template, so access starts correct.
Apply Microsoft 365 sensitivity labels to the workspaces that need classification, where labels and policies are configured in Microsoft 365.
Detect inactive workspaces, notify owners, and archive or delete completed spaces according to policy.
Take action across many workspaces at once — archive, delete, update, clean up, or remediate in a single pass.
Keep a record of workspace creation, governance actions, lifecycle events, and administrative changes.
Use role-based administration so the right people manage templates, policies, and operations without over-granting access.
Clean up what already exists.
Governance is not only about new workspaces. Most Microsoft 365 environments already have legacy Teams, inactive projects, duplicate groups, abandoned client spaces, and workspaces with missing owners.
nBold helps you act at scale with bulk operations and lifecycle workflows — so remediation is a single pass, not a quarter of manual cleanup.
- Identify inactive and ownerless spaces
- Notify workspace owners and request review
- Archive completed projects, delete what should no longer exist
- Remediate inconsistent workspaces in one pass
- Apply cleanup actions across many Teams or sites at once
- Reduce clutter before it becomes risk
Microsoft 365 native, built for security review.
nBold is designed for Microsoft 365 environments. It does not ask users to move collaboration out of Microsoft 365 — it helps you provision and govern Microsoft 365 workspaces in a repeatable way.
Provisions and governs Microsoft Teams, Teams channels, SharePoint sites, libraries and folders, Planner boards and tasks, Microsoft 365 Groups, Lists, OneNote, Forms, and tabs — the services your users already rely on. It works with Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels where they are configured.
Authentication through Microsoft Entra ID, integration through the Microsoft Graph API, admin-approved permissions, role-based administration, and audit-ready operations — backed by ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type II certification.
nBold is a governance, provisioning, and collaboration management layer that works with Microsoft 365 — it does not replace Microsoft Purview, the Teams admin center, the SharePoint admin center, or Entra ID. See the platform security page for permission and architecture detail.
Govern Microsoft 365 without becoming the bottleneck.
Control before sprawl
Apply rules before a workspace is created — not after it has already spread across the tenant — and reduce manual provisioning tickets.
Less repetitive admin work
Use templates, lifecycle policies, and bulk operations instead of one-off cleanup. Delegate administration safely with role-based access.
Audit-ready by design
Standardized names, metadata, lifecycle records, and audit logs make the environment easier to understand and easier to trace.

Does nBold replace the Teams admin center, SharePoint admin center, Entra ID, or Microsoft Purview?
No. nBold is a governance, provisioning, and collaboration management layer that works with Microsoft 365 — it does not replace native admin or security tooling. It governs how workspaces are created, managed, and retired, and works alongside Entra ID, Purview, and the Microsoft 365 admin centers.
How does nBold connect to our Microsoft 365 tenant?
nBold authenticates through Microsoft Entra ID and works with Microsoft 365 through Microsoft Graph and the permissions your organization approves. It fits into the admin consent and permission review process for Microsoft 365 apps.
Can it help with the sprawl we already have?
Yes. Governance is not only about new workspaces. Bulk operations and lifecycle workflows let you identify inactive spaces, notify owners, archive completed projects, remediate inconsistent workspaces, and act across many Teams or sites at once — without relying only on manual admin center actions or scripts.
How does this reduce provisioning tickets without losing control?
Business teams request or create workspaces from an approved template catalog, and the rules you define — naming, approvals, labels, membership, lifecycle — apply automatically. That means fewer tickets, fewer exceptions, and fewer unmanaged spaces created outside the process.
How does nBold handle sensitivity labels and guest access?
nBold can apply Microsoft 365 sensitivity labels as part of governed workspace creation where labels and policies are configured in Microsoft 365, and it helps standardize privacy and membership rules for workspaces that may include external collaborators. It does not replace Conditional Access, Purview, or Entra guest controls — it applies governance consistently alongside them.
Is nBold ready for enterprise security review?
nBold is built for Microsoft 365 review: Entra ID authentication, Graph-based integration, admin-approved permissions, role-based administration, and audit-ready workspace operations. It is ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type II certified. The platform security page covers permission and architecture detail.
