Offboarding cleanup

Find Microsoft 365 access that should have been removed during offboarding

VXSec checks whether former employees, contractors, and role changes left behind active accounts, delegated mailboxes, file ownership problems, guest access, admin rights, or paid licenses that no longer belong in the tenant.

What gets reviewed

Offboarding issues are rarely one single setting. They usually show up across accounts, groups, shared inboxes, files, Teams, guest access, and paid seats. The audit looks for those leftovers and turns them into a practical cleanup list.

  • Former employee and contractor accounts that are still active, licensed, or able to sign in.
  • Shared mailbox delegates, group memberships, Teams ownership, and access inherited from old roles.
  • Files, folders, OneDrive content, and collaboration spaces still owned by departed users.
  • Guest users and external access that no current owner recognizes.
  • Admin roles or privileged permissions that were not removed after a role change.
  • Unused licenses that should be reclaimed after departure or transfer.

Why this matters

Offboarding gaps create risk, but they also create operational drag. Nobody knows who owns the files, which shared mailbox access is legitimate, or whether a disabled account can safely be removed. The deliverable makes those decisions visible and sequenced.

For HR-driven turnover

Match known departures and role changes against what still exists in Microsoft 365.

For contractor-heavy teams

Review temporary users, guests, groups, shared resources, and access that outlasted the work.

For messy handoffs

Identify ownership transfer work before old accounts are removed.

For implementation

VXSec can complete the approved cleanup as a fixed-fee follow-on project.
