If Anyone links don't expire, a single leaked URL remains exploitable indefinitely. Forcing a max lifetime (≤30 days is industry standard) limits the damage window when a link inevitably ends up somewhere unintended.
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.
