Torsion Features
Automated Visibility
Torsion continuously scans user access across Microsoft 365 to build a live ‘who has access to what’ map. This gives organizations instant insight into permission risks and orphaned access, accelerating audits and reducing blind spots.
Collaboration
Embedded into Microsoft Teams, SharePoint UI, and OneDrive, Torsion surfaces access and security status inside users’ native tools. This lets business users respond quickly without leaving their workflow.
Access Control
Torsion automates the entire process of managing access control by shifting responsibility to data owners. It automatically grants and revokes detailed permissions as business roles change, while strictly enforcing security policies. This keeps access precise.

“Powerful reporting”
Pros
The real breakthrough came when I was able to pull a report showing exactly how many files had been shared externally. From there, drilling into the details was quick and simple and I could do it without relying on IT support. For managing our ISO27001 system, this has become an incredibly valuable tool.
Cons
Some of the terminology and a few of the concepts take a bit of time to fully understand at first. That said, it's definitely worth investing the time because you get much more value from the solution once it clicks.
