TENET: The CoreView alternative for Azure & Microsoft 365 security

CoreView is a leading M365 tenant management platform — built for IT teams managing licenses, configurations, and admin operations. If your risk goes beyond M365 admin into Azure infrastructure, compliance frameworks, and security intelligence, you need a platform that covers both.

Security intelligence across your full Microsoft estate

M365 tenant management covers admin operations. It does not cover Azure infrastructure risk, cross-environment attack paths, or compliance against frameworks like NIS2 and NIST CSF. If your organisation runs both Azure and Microsoft 365, you need visibility across the full estate.

Azure infrastructure risk

Misconfigurations, exposed resources, anomaly detection, and attack path analysis across your Azure estate — a layer M365 management tools do not cover.

NIS2 & NIST CSF compliance

Compliance mapped to specific NIS2 articles and NIST CSF 2.0 controls — automated evidence collection and gap analysis, not operational benchmarks.

Unified Azure & M365 view

Security signals from Azure infrastructure and M365 workloads correlated in one platform — identity risks, Defender alerts, and compliance posture together.

The Azure infrastructure layer CoreView does not cover

CoreView monitors your M365 tenant. It does not monitor your Azure subscriptions — virtual networks, storage accounts, compute resources, or the misconfigurations and anomalies that create infrastructure risk. For organisations running Azure alongside M365, that is the larger attack surface.

TENET connects to your Azure tenant via read-only API and immediately begins monitoring resources, detecting anomalies, mapping attack paths, and assessing compliance posture. Your first findings appear in under two minutes — no agents, no scanners, no deployment project.

Compliance frameworks, not operational benchmarks

CoreView benchmarks M365 configurations against CIS standards — useful for operational hygiene. But if your organisation is subject to NIS2 or needs NIST CSF 2.0 alignment, operational benchmarks are not the same as regulatory compliance.

TENET maps every Azure and M365 finding to specific NIS2 articles and NIST CSF 2.0 controls. Evidence is collected automatically from your live environment. When an open NSG, a dormant privileged account, or a Defender alert creates a compliance gap, TENET identifies the article affected, the specific resource, and the remediation steps.

SEE COMPLIANCE MODULE

Identity risk, not just identity admin

CoreView manages Entra ID from an admin perspective — delegated admin roles, lifecycle management, and access reviews. That is operational identity management, not security risk detection.

TENET models Entra ID, RBAC, service principals, and PIM from a risk perspective. Over-privileged roles, dormant accounts, MFA gaps, and guest access are surfaced automatically — each linked to the attack paths they enable and the compliance controls they affect. Identity is the starting point for most Azure breaches. Managing it is not the same as detecting the risk it creates.

What are the biggest compliance gaps across Azure and M365 right now?
3 NIS2 articles have open gapsArt. 21 has 8 open findings — 2 critical identity risks and an open NSG rule. Art. 10 has an unresolved Defender alert on vm-web-prod-02. Art. 20 is at 65% due to missing governance policies on 3 resource groups.

Ask questions. Get answers from your live environment.

Reports tell you what happened. BriteAI tells you what to do about it. Ask about attack paths, identity exposure, compliance gaps, or anomalies in plain language — and get specific answers drawn from your live Azure and M365 data.

For teams running their own SRE agents, the TENET MCP lets those agents query your environment and execute targeted fixes — with human approval for sensitive operations.

We already use CoreView — do we still need TENET?

CoreView and TENET solve different problems. CoreView manages your Microsoft 365 tenant — license optimization, configuration backup, delegated admin, and operational reporting. TENET monitors your Azure infrastructure and M365 environment for security risk — anomalies, attack paths, compliance gaps, and identity exposure. If you have both Azure and M365, CoreView handles the M365 admin operations and TENET handles the security and risk intelligence across both. They can coexist without overlap.

Does CoreView cover Azure infrastructure?

No. CoreView is purpose-built for Microsoft 365 tenant management — Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Intune, and Entra ID from an admin operations perspective. It does not monitor Azure infrastructure resources, virtual networks, storage accounts, or cloud security posture. If your organisation runs Azure alongside M365, the infrastructure layer is a blind spot that CoreView does not address.

Does TENET do M365 license management?

No. TENET monitors M365 for security signals — Defender alerts, Intune device compliance, SharePoint data exposure, and OneDrive sharing risks. It does not track license assignment, usage, or cost optimization. If license management is a priority, CoreView is built for that. TENET is built for security and risk intelligence across your full Microsoft estate.

How does compliance coverage compare?

CoreView benchmarks M365 configurations against CIS standards and Microsoft best practices. TENET maps both Azure and M365 findings to NIS2 articles and NIST CSF 2.0 controls — with automated evidence collection, gap analysis, and remediation guidance tied to specific resources. If NIS2 or NIST CSF is a requirement for your organisation, TENET provides the framework-level granularity that operational benchmarks do not.

How does pricing compare?

CoreView uses per-user subscription pricing that scales with your Microsoft 365 seat count — you will need to contact their sales team for a quote. TENET starts at $199/month per organisation with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required. TENET is also available directly through the Azure Marketplace.
