Expanding Free Identity Governance
As IT environments become increasingly fragmented and complex, ensuring that workforces have proper access to necessary resources remains a major operational challenge. Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) functions as a critical capability for organizations seeking to provide seamless access for staff, suppliers, and guests while safeguarding mission-critical data. Growing organizations frequently encounter manual governance bottlenecks such as onboarding delays, overprivileged users, stale accounts, and a general lack of visibility into data access privileges.
To help address these challenges for smaller operations, tenfold provides a dedicated option that can be requested through our website for organizations with fewer than 150 managed users, including administrative and service accounts. According to the company, this free tier includes all the features and integrations found in its highest licensing tier, offering smaller IT teams an accessible alternative to expensive enterprise-grade platforms.
Microsoft 365 Shared Content Governance
Shared content within Microsoft 365 environments frequently creates security blind spots, as native governance tools often lack the necessary granularity. Organizations often struggle simply to identify what content users are sharing, making it difficult to audit active permissions. To tackle this, tenfold has introduced shared content governance features into its platform to deliver better visibility and control.
The update provides a comprehensive overview of shared files across Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint. This central breakdown supplies visibility into everything users share, whether stored in SharePoint sites, Teams channels, direct chats, or individual OneDrive accounts. Additionally, the system introduces recurring access reviews for shared files, prompting site, channel, or file owners to review past sharing permissions through a personalized dashboard checklist.
Real-Time Event Auditing
Beyond passive risk reduction and traditional governance policies, organizations require real-time log data to detect and counteract modern identity threats as they occur. By combining Identity Governance with real-time log analysis, the newly added event auditing feature supplies essential context to supplement existing security frameworks.
The auditing capability allows administrative teams to record chosen event types within the tenfold database, filter event data by system, user, or event type, and save or share search queries for quick investigation. These tools help security teams rapidly identify unusual patterns, such as sudden login spikes or the unexpected creation of new administrator accounts.
Setup and Community Support
According to details provided by BleepingComputer, the platform utilizes a no-code configuration approach alongside out-of-the-box plugins to simplify deployment. Organizations aiming to evaluate the software's capabilities can request a personal demo to view a guided tour of the platform features and administrative interface.
The Community Edition maintains full feature parity with paid software tiers, ensuring that updates and new features arrive simultaneously without delayed releases. Organizations can connect the platform to their identity stacks using built-in integrations for Active Directory and Entra ID, supported by a setup wizard and supplementary documentation.
