What is TENET?
TENET is an agentless platform for continuous cloud risk assessment and management across Azure and Microsoft 365. It covers:
- Attack surface management
- Identity and access management
- Compliance monitoring
- Anomaly detection
- AI risk monitoring
- Microsoft 365 external data sharing and license optimization

What does TENET look for in a partner?
Partners who manage Microsoft environments for their clients and want to deliver proactive risk services. In particular, partners who:
- Manage Microsoft Azure or Microsoft 365 environments for their clients
- Provide high-value, complementary security and compliance consulting, services and solutions
- Serve specific industries or regions facing common cloud risk challenges
- Are committed to proactive risk intelligence rather than reactive break-fix services
Cloud risk intelligence is one piece of a comprehensive program, so we look for partners who will invest time in training and enablement to represent TENET accurately to mutual customers.
Is TENET on Azure Marketplace?
Yes. Customers and partners who prefer to keep vendor spend in their Microsoft relationship can buy TENET on Azure Marketplace.
CSPs can also resell it through their CSP agreement. Read about TENET for Cloud Solution Providers.
Can I white-label TENET for my customers?
Yes. Reports carry your company name, logo and accent colour, and the cover names the person presenting them. They include risk scores, compliance posture summaries and executive-ready overviews that show the value of your recurring services.
See Client Assessments for the four reports and how you deliver them.
How secure is the TENET platform?
TENET is agentless and read-only, with least-privilege permissions. Its security properties come from the platform architecture:
- Read-only access: setup creates a single read-only app registration, and after that TENET never modifies workloads or configurations in customer tenants
- Encryption at rest and in transit: all customer data is encrypted, and communication with customer environments uses TLS only
- Tenant isolation: each partner and customer tenant has its own security boundary with role-based access controls
- Azure-hosted: TENET runs on Microsoft Azure infrastructure
- No business content: TENET processes configuration metadata and security signals, and does not store, access or process emails, documents or files

What training do partners need?
Most partners complete initial enablement in a few hours. Dedicated sessions cover platform capabilities, service delivery workflows and strategic selling.
By the end, your practitioners can demonstrate and use TENET, discuss cloud risk drivers with prospects, present the business case, and answer common questions and objections. Ongoing enablement includes:
- Regular sessions on new platform capabilities and industry trends
- Exclusive risk workshops for strategic selling
- Technical guidance from TENET product and security experts
- Campaign-in-a-box resources and co-marketing support
- Product roadmap discussions and early access to new features
What are good prospects for TENET?
Any organisation that relies on Azure or Microsoft 365 and is concerned about data protection, compliance or risk posture. Common profiles:
- Organisations subject to NIS2 or aligning to NIST CSF 2.0
- Mid-market and enterprise companies running production workloads in Azure
- Organisations with complex Entra ID environments and identity governance requirements
- Companies undergoing cloud migration or modernisation programmes
- Businesses in regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, legal, government and critical infrastructure
Organisations that have had a security incident, failed a compliance audit or struggle with fragmented tooling are strong candidates. So are companies that rely only on native Microsoft tools, particularly without premium Defender SKUs or in-house security expertise.
How is TENET different from its competitors?
TENET is built only for Azure and Microsoft 365 and designed from the ground up for multi-tenant service delivery. That brings:
- Microsoft-native depth: direct connections to Microsoft Graph Security and Management Activity APIs across Azure, Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, including environments without Defender SKUs
- Automatic refresh: risk scores, compliance posture and findings stay current as Microsoft configurations change
- Multi-tenant management: Partner Hub shows risk posture, compliance status and findings for every customer, and you open any tenant without switching accounts or tools
- Low overhead: nothing to install in customer environments, and new tenants connect in minutes
- AI-powered operations: BriteAI answers questions about customer environments in natural language and gives contextual remediation guidance
- Pure SaaS: no hardware or software to host, and updates happen automatically
Compare TENET with CoreView, Wiz and Prisma Cloud.
Why offer cloud risk intelligence to clients?
It turns the Microsoft environments you manage into measurable risk reduction. Cloud risk intelligence means continuously identifying, analysing, prioritising and managing risk across cloud environments using up-to-date telemetry, contextual insights and expert knowledge. Reasons to offer it:
- Prevent business loss: downtime, lost revenue, clean-up costs and stolen trade secrets cost organisations millions each year, and proactive detection lets you fix issues before customers feel them
- Everyone is a target: automated attacks exploit misconfigured identities, over-privileged accounts and exposed resources regardless of company size
- Native tools leave gaps: what Microsoft covers depends on the licences each customer holds, leaving gaps in access governance, compliance posture and cross-domain correlation
- Regulatory compliance: TENET maps findings to NIS2 and NIST CSF 2.0, so you can offer compliance reporting that helps customers manage regulatory risk
- Trust and retention: measurable risk reduction, executive-ready reports and clear remediation guidance keep customers for the long term
