Files accumulate across OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Many haven’t been opened in years, but remain shared, sometimes with dozens of people. The owner may be gone. The risk is quiet, but real.

Last-access metadata is a signal. It tells you which content is active, and what’s just sitting exposed. Bedrock adds additional context to last-access: automated classification, data sensitivity, taxonomy, and entitlements. This lets you build intelligent policies that don’t only detect obsolete content, but act on it.

Bedrock monitors aged, unaccessed, and overshared files. It flags them for review, automatically unshares them, notifies owners, and can trigger remediation workflows, decommissioning, or even recommending deletion based on risk and business context.

Take the example of a SharePoint folder containing legacy financial reports. It hasn’t been accessed in 18 months. It’s still shared with 27 users. Bedrock detects that it contains sensitive data, ties it to a regulated classification, and automatically initiates policy-based review proactively reducing risk, before anything goes wrong.

This is what modern data governance looks like: context-aware, policy-driven, and always on.
