B2B Direct Connect lets users from other tenants access your data without becoming guests in your directory. This bypasses guest-account lifecycle controls, access reviews, and many CA policies that target guests specifically. Should be enabled only with vetted partner tenants.
A scan reports where your tenant stands on this check — pass, fail with a step-by-step fix, or not applicable if your licensing doesn’t include the feature. When Tenant Strike can’t read a setting with read-only access, it says unverified and gives you a one-command way to confirm it yourself — it never guesses.
