Cloud visibility is where security starts, not where it ends
Agentless cloud visibility platforms deploy fast and prioritize risk well across multi-cloud environments. The gap is what comes next. Most Azure SMB teams need more than a posture dashboard: they need GRC workflows connected to live findings, NIS2 compliance evidence that holds up to auditors, M365 risk in the same view as Azure, and identity governance that goes deeper than CIEM. Cloud visibility covers the surface. TENET covers what your auditors and attackers actually care about.
Built-in GRC workflows
Risk register, policy vault, supplier risk management, and NIS2 incident management — all connected to live Azure findings. Most cloud visibility platforms stop at posture — no built-in GRC layer.
Microsoft 365 monitoring
Defender alerts, Intune device compliance, SharePoint data exposure, and OneDrive sharing risks — correlated with your Azure context. No multi-cloud visibility platform monitors all of it.
Fixed, predictable pricing
TENET charges a flat monthly rate. No per-asset billing, no surprises as your Azure estate grows. Per-asset pricing scales with your resource count.
TENET vs. Orca Security

Security posture and governance — in one place
Cloud visibility platforms give you risk prioritization. What they do not give you is a place to manage what comes next: logging the risk, assigning it an owner, tracking it to closure, or generating the compliance evidence your auditors need.
TENET includes a built-in GRC layer — risk register, policy vault, supplier risk management, NIS2 incident management with deadline tracking, and data breach logging — all connected to the same live Azure and M365 data that drives your security posture view. For a lean team that needs to move from finding to closure without switching tools, that integration matters.
START FREE TRIALCloud platforms stop at the boundary. Threats don't.
Cloud security platforms monitor infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP. They do not monitor Microsoft Defender alerts, Intune device compliance, SharePoint data exposure, or OneDrive sharing risks. For teams running Azure and Microsoft 365, those are the most active threat surfaces in the estate.
Phishing campaigns land in Exchange. Files leak through SharePoint. Non-compliant Intune devices become entry points. An attacker who gets into an Entra ID account does not stop at the Azure boundary. TENET monitors Defender, Intune, SharePoint, and OneDrive — and correlates every signal with your Azure identity and infrastructure data. One view of your full Microsoft estate, without a second tool.
EXPLORE M365 COVERAGEAzure identity governance built for Entra ID
Identity is where most Azure breaches start. An over-privileged service principal. A dormant guest account that still has Contributor access. An application registration with admin consent no one remembers approving. These are routine findings in any Azure environment that has been running for more than six months.
Multi-cloud CIEM covers identities across cloud providers at a generic level. If your environment is Microsoft-only, you get a generic entitlement view where you need depth. TENET models Entra ID, RBAC, service principals, and PIM natively. 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 violate.
SEE IDENTITY GOVERNANCECompliance mapped to NIS2 — not just cloud benchmarks
If you are subject to NIS2, your auditors are not asking for a cloud security score. They want evidence mapped to specific articles — from your actual environment, not a self-assessment.
TENET maps every Azure and M365 finding to specific NIS2 articles and NIST CSF 2.0 controls. Evidence is collected automatically. 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 required — not a generic recommendation to review your policies.
SEE COMPLIANCE MODULEAsk questions. Get answers from your live environment.
Most security platforms assume you have an analyst to interpret them. Dashboards and risk scores are useful if someone has the time to work through them. Most SMB security teams do not have that person.
BriteAI is built into TENET. 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, with remediation steps tied to the exact resources involved. For teams running SRE agents, the TENET MCP lets those agents query your environment and execute targeted fixes — with human approval for sensitive operations.
Both platforms are agentless — what's meaningfully different about TENET?
Both platforms connect without agents. The difference is scope. Agentless CNAPPs provide cloud visibility and risk prioritization — strong for CSPM across multi-cloud environments. TENET adds what comes next for an Azure SMB team: built-in GRC workflows, NIS2 article-level compliance, Microsoft 365 monitoring, Azure-native identity governance, and an AI assistant that queries your live environment. If you need cloud posture only, a dedicated CNAPP is a reasonable choice. If you need posture plus governance plus M365 plus compliance, TENET covers it in one platform.
We need CSPM — does TENET cover that?
Yes. TENET continuously monitors your Azure and M365 environment for misconfigurations, exposed resources, and security posture drift — which is the core of cloud security posture management. It also layers attack path analysis, identity risk, NIS2 compliance, and anomaly detection on top. If CSPM is your starting point, TENET covers it and goes further.
Can TENET replace our existing cloud security platform entirely?
For Azure and Microsoft 365 environments, yes — TENET covers the security posture, identity, compliance, and M365 monitoring a cloud visibility platform would provide, plus the GRC workflows and AI assistant that most platforms do not. If you are running workloads across AWS or GCP that you also need to monitor, multi-cloud breadth may be relevant. TENET is purpose-built for the Microsoft stack.
How does pricing compare?
Most cloud visibility platforms don't publish pricing — costs typically scale with the number of assets or workloads in your environment, which means costs grow as your cloud estate does. TENET charges a flat monthly rate of $199 regardless of asset count. You can start with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required, and see exactly what you are paying before you commit. Also available on the Azure Marketplace.
How does TENET's vulnerability coverage compare to dedicated cloud security platforms?
TENET focuses on Azure and M365 misconfiguration, identity risk, attack paths, compliance, and anomaly detection — which covers the primary risk surface for most Azure SMB teams. Dedicated CSPM platforms go deeper into workload-level CVE scanning across multi-cloud environments. If granular CVE scanning across multiple cloud providers is a core requirement, evaluate both for that specific capability. For the governance and compliance layer, TENET covers ground most cloud visibility platforms do not.
