We're facing a challenge in R&D: our current DRM solution effectively protects sensitive TSIP (Trade Secret and Intellectual Property) data, but it prevents researchers from searching across encrypted files—hindering their work.

While we’ve considered relying solely on SharePoint permissions and Entra capabilities, the growing risk of insider threats makes this a last resort.

Has anyone solved a similar issue? Are there DRM or encryption solutions that allow secure, searchable access to protected content?

With Wiz adding ”DSPM” or rather data classification, do you see there being much need for DSPM on top of CSPM? I feel like the DLP and Detection and Response are way more important than CSPM checks, but is that just me?

I'm interested in understanding your approach to establishing a two-way trust between Active Directories in the following scenario: A larger company A acquires a mid-sized or smaller-sized company B, at what point do you feel comfortable establishing a two-way trust between both Active Directories? The priority is to ensure business continuity without impacting their clients on both ends, while recognizing that integration would be significantly easier with a trust established. What would be your key considerations that you typically review prior to even entering discussions about this capability. My focus is on the prerequisites for trusting a new entity that was previously managed by another IT team within your organization. For example, do you conduct by default a full penetration test, assess the network and external-facing systems, perform policy health checks, evaluate conditional access settings, breach history of Company B and/or their vendors etc. and demand changes to get as close to your standard before proceeding? If yes how close do you get before feeling a little more comfortable before accepting all the risks?
