Abstract
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.
