Hosted services provided by service provider tenants to their users are an increasingly common software usage model. The usage of such services and handling of data may be subject to regulatory, legal, and industry-based rules, where different rules may be applicable depending on the particular service, handled data, and organization type, for example. Embodiments are directed to providing intelligence and analysis driven security and compliance suggestions for hosted services to reduce the burden on tenant administrators to determine and implement applicable policies and rules. Claims are directed to determination of a suggestion based on an analysis of a tenant's service environment, presentation of the suggestion along with analysis results and a prompt to confirm implementation of the suggestion, and upon receiving confirmation, presentation of an option to customize the suggestion by modifying settings suggested based on analysis results. The suggestion may be a policy, organization, policy customization, or organization customization.

Intelligence and analysis driven security and compliance recommendations

Threat intelligence management is provided in a security and compliance environment. A threat explorer platform or module of a security and compliance service may detect, investigate, manage, and provide actionable insights for threats at an organizational level. Working with a data insights platform that collects different types of signals (metadata, documents, activities, etc.) and correlates in a multi-stage evaluation, the threat intelligence module may provide actionable visual information on potential threats, affected areas, and actionable insights derived from internal threat data and external information using contextual correlation of data within the data insight platform. User experience may be dynamically adjusted at multiple levels based on context and allow users to drill down arbitrarily deep.
