OneDirectory

What OneDirectory is

OneDirectory is a web-based employee directory, people search tool, and interactive organizational chart built from Microsoft Entra ID data. It keeps profiles current through a one-way sync from Microsoft 365. Employees can search by person, role, team, skill, or office. Profiles may show skills, contact details, reporting lines, assistant relationships, and dotted-line reporting. The org chart provides searchable and zoomable views, customizable layouts, and downloadable views. From a profile, employees can start chats or calls through Microsoft Teams, Slack, Webex, or other supported messaging platforms. OneDirectory authenticates through Microsoft’s identity platform and says its Microsoft 365 access uses read-only, least-privilege permissions. The service runs on Microsoft Azure, stores data in the United States by default, and offers EU and Australia regions for data residency. It states that data is encrypted at rest with 256-bit AES and in transit with TLS 1.2 or higher. Its Data Protection Addendum aligns with GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA/CPRA and includes EU Standard Contractual Clauses for international transfers. OneDirectory says it serves mid-sized and large organizations, from a few hundred employees to tens of thousands. The company began as Vinewave in 2011 and launched OneDirectory as its Microsoft 365 cloud product in 2018. Pro plans start at $349 a month for up to 250 profiles, with a 14-day full-access Pro trial.
