Schedule a ConsultationSimplify Microsoft Licensing Audits & Avoid Costly Penalties
Microsoft software audits can be unexpected, stressful, and costly—but they don’t have to be.
Some organizations face frequent audits, while others never do. Why?
Microsoft may audit your business for multiple reasons:
- “Tenant-Wide” Compliance Issues – Microsoft may claim non-compliance due to automated license enforcement in Microsoft 365.
- Revenue-Driven Audits – A sales team might flag you for an audit if you didn’t purchase “enough” or chose an alternative provider.
- Algorithmic Triggers – Automated Microsoft tools may incorrectly flag your licensing status.
- Disgruntled Employees – A former employee could report non-compliance as retaliation.
Regardless of the reason, you must be prepared to defend your compliance position and push back against inaccurate audit findings.
At Remend, we provide expert guidance to reduce risk, navigate Microsoft audits and negotiate fair outcomes—ensuring you only pay for the licenses you truly need.
