The Governance Gap That Copilot Revealed

Governance debt accumulates quickly. A site owner leaves, and no one notices that there wasn't a backup owner. A shared channel gets created with external guests and no lifecycle policy. Files spread internally far beyond their intended audience. By the time any of this surfaces through a user complaint, a security event, or a pre-audit scramble, the exposure has already happened. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.

We’re excited to share that ENow has been included as a Representative Vendor in the Gartner® Market Guide for Microsoft 365 Governance Tools (January 12, 2026), by Lina Al Dana, Dan Wilson, and Max Goss.

The identity threat landscape continues to surge. Organizations relying on Microsoft Entra ID are facing a growing challenge: how to govern hundreds or thousands of cloud applications, many of which are rapidly created, rarely reviewed, and frequently over-permissioned.

For organizations racing to adopt Microsoft Copilot, the pressure is on. Leaders are investing in AI as a productivity multiplier, but beneath the surface, many IT and technology adoption teams are asking the tough questions:

ENow has experienced some incredible moments this year, and we wanted to share our recap with you. From conferences to product releases, 2024 has been a year for the books.In addition to that, we celebrated our 20th year in business! 

This year, Microsoft will host its largest annual tech event, Microsoft Ignite, in the windy city—Chicago, November 18-22nd! We love Microsoft Ignite because it's where Microsoft typically unveils big announcements regarding updates to technology and services that keep our industry propelling forward. If there’s one thing that this community ecosystem agrees on, it’s that Microsoft is rapidly innovating and changing, and Microsoft Ignite is an opportunity to help us all keep up and hear the latest and (sometimes not the greatest) updates so we’re on the same page and can pivot where needed.
