Many companies already use Microsoft SharePoint for document storage, but do not yet fully meet key requirements for retention, traceability, and data protection.,
With features such as retention labels, versioning, and clearly defined permissions, SharePoint can be developed into a compliance-compliant document platform—provided these are configured correctly.
An audit-proof storage system ensures that documents are archived completely, traceably, and immutably. This also applies to documents that already exist.
Core requirements:
Can SharePoint be audit-proof?
Yes – SharePoint can support these requirements if features such as retention labels, versioning, and permission concepts are used correctly.
Important:
SharePoint is not audit-proof by default—the correct configuration is crucial.
Many existing SharePoint environments lack clear rules for retention and document governance. This can lead to legal risks and inefficient processes.
Typical signs:
Result:
These gaps can lead to non-compliance with legal requirements.
Consequence:
High administrative effort and potential compliance risks.
To make SharePoint audit-proof, document types and requirements are first defined, followed by retention periods and the setup of retention labels.
In addition, versioning, clear permissions, and automated approval and filing processes ensure structured and compliant document management.
Result:
Structured, traceable, and compliant document management.
Retention labels define how long documents are stored and what happens afterward (e.g. deletion or archiving).
Changes to documents are automatically logged. Previous versions remain available and can be viewed at any time.
Clearly defined roles and permissions control who can view, edit, or delete documents.
With Power Automate, approval and filing processes can be standardized and documented.
