Government-focused organizations often prioritize security and compliance—but many underestimate the risks posed by outdated collaboration tools. Whether it's legacy file shares, unsecured email platforms, or inconsistent chat tools, the cost of clinging to the old way of doing things is rising fast.
The Hidden Dangers
Old systems aren’t just clunky—they're risky. Legacy collaboration platforms often lack:
Proper encryption for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
Granular access controls or audit logs
Integration with modern identity management systems
Mobile-friendly secure access
This creates vulnerabilities that can lead to data leaks, compliance violations, or audit failures.
Slowed Down, Left Behind
In addition to risk, outdated tools create friction in your workflows:
Teams struggle to find information or manage version control
Contractors and partners face access issues
Communication breakdowns delay deliverables
These inefficiencies can reduce your competitive edge—especially when working with strict timelines or federal SLAs.
Modern Collaboration Must Be Secure
Modern work requires secure, compliant collaboration. Microsoft 365 offers powerful tools like Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint—but not all versions are built for federal data.
To protect CUI and meet DFARS or ITAR requirements, many organizations must go a step further.
