Trend Micro commissioned Osterman Research to undertake a survey of North American and European organisations to determine how and why they are using Microsoft SharePoint and to determine their requirements for security specifically focused on SharePoint.
A total of 269 surveys were completed with individuals who are involved in managing the messaging and collaboration infrastructure for their organisations.
This white paper outlines the key findings and recomendations from that research, including:
- SharePoint security is considered a nice to have
- SharePoint security concerns are more focused on protecting sensitive information
- Employees are the most common SharePoint users
- Regulatory issues may drive some organisations to deploy SharePoint security

SharePoint use is on the increase, due in part to its efficacy for team sharing, document management, portal development and other uses; and also due to Microsoft's aggressive licensing policies for SharePoint. However, many organisations have not deployed SharePoint-specific security, instead relying on security deployed at the endpoints of the network, on servers or on gateways. Given that a large proportion of organisations allow external users to access their SharePoint infrastructure, this leaves them vulnerable to a variety of threats, including malware infections and loss of data. As a result, organisations that have deployed SharePoint should also deploy SharePoint-specific security capabilities.
