Microsoft 365 is where most organizations do their work — email, collaboration, file storage, and increasingly, AI. It is also deeply connected to Azure through Entra ID, managed identities, and shared data flows. That connection means a misconfiguration in SharePoint or an overexposed OneDrive folder is not an isolated SaaS problem. It is a risk with a path into your cloud infrastructure.
TENET now extends risk intelligence to Microsoft 365, giving Azure-first security teams a unified view of posture, data exposure, and identity risk across SaaS and cloud — in one platform.
The gap between SaaS and cloud security
Most teams monitor their Azure environment separately from their Microsoft 365 environment. Cloud security tools focus on resource configuration, network exposure, and identity in Azure. SaaS security tools flag M365 misconfigurations or overshared files. Neither has full context about how the two surfaces connect.
That gap creates real problems. A user with broad SharePoint permissions and a highly privileged Azure role is a significant risk — but only if both signals appear together. A file containing credentials stored in OneDrive and shared externally could grant direct access to Azure resources — but only if you can trace from the file to the infrastructure it exposes.
TENET closes that gap by bringing Microsoft 365 into the same risk model used for Azure.
Posture and access visibility
TENET surfaces misconfiguration and access risks across Microsoft 365 alongside your Azure posture findings, assessed against the same compliance frameworks as your Azure findings.
This includes visibility into:
- Misconfiguration risks across Exchange Online, SharePoint, and OneDrive
- Identity and access risks in Microsoft Entra, including privileged roles, over-permissioned users, and stale access
- Sharing risks in SharePoint and OneDrive, including externally shared resources and anonymous access to sensitive content
- How M365 access relationships connect to Azure permissions for the same identities
Identity is usually the fastest path from a SaaS exposure to a cloud impact. When a user or service principal holds risky permissions in both M365 and Azure, TENET surfaces that combination rather than leaving it across two separate tools.
Data security across SharePoint and OneDrive
Sensitive data stored in M365 is a meaningful part of your organization's risk surface. TENET scans SharePoint and OneDrive to discover and classify that data — and connects each finding to the identities, permissions, and infrastructure that determine its actual exposure.
Capabilities include:
- Discovery of sensitive data across SharePoint and OneDrive, including PII, PCI, PHI, and other business-critical content
- Detection of credentials and secrets embedded in files that could grant access to Azure resources
- AI-powered data classification to identify sensitive content specific to your environment
- Visibility into how data exposure connects to permissions, sharing settings, and downstream infrastructure access
A file containing an API key shared externally is not just a compliance issue. If that key grants access to an Azure resource, it is an active attack path. TENET makes that connection visible so teams can prioritize accordingly.
AI exposure and Copilot risk
Microsoft 365 Copilot and applications built on Copilot Studio introduce new risk pathways that most security tools are not yet designed to surface. AI applications connected to your Microsoft 365 data can inherit permissions, access sensitive content, and interact with Azure-backed services in ways that are not always obvious.
TENET provides visibility into AI-connected applications across your M365 environment, helping teams understand:
- Which AI applications exist and what data and services they can access
- Where misconfiguration or insufficient guardrails create exposure
- How AI usage connects to risk in the broader Azure environment
This is an area that will continue to grow as Copilot adoption increases. TENET's approach treats AI applications as first-class assets in your attack surface — not an afterthought.
From findings to remediation
Visibility only creates value when teams can act on what they find. TENET connects each Microsoft 365 finding to the context needed to prioritize it: which identities are involved, what data is at risk, and how the exposure links to Azure infrastructure.
From a single workflow, teams can:
- Review M365 posture findings alongside Azure risk in one prioritized queue
- Understand which SharePoint or OneDrive exposures involve sensitive data or credentials
- Identify identity risks that span both M365 and Azure for the same user or service principal
- Take remediation actions directly or route findings to existing workflows
Because M365 findings are part of the same risk model as Azure, remediation decisions have full context — not just a severity score from an isolated tool.
A unified surface for Azure-first teams
Azure-first organizations should not need a separate platform to manage M365 risk. TENET extends the same risk intelligence framework already applied to Azure across the SaaS surface that connects to it — bringing posture, identity, data, and AI risk into one view.
