  Access to your content is secured through the built-in user level and group level security.

  In addition to storing your content, SharePoint Online offers the ability to search for that content using the build in, integrated search facility. This makes locating files easy without hunting and searching.
  
  SharePoint Online helps organizations manage their daily routine by leveraging workflows, forms, and lists. It automatically synchs and stores your important data and files in a secure, government rated cloud so your organization can easily and securely retrieve it.
