What each role finds in the report

In brief

Five questions every area answers.

The most common questions about the five areas — each answered in a few sentences, with the way to the details.

  • 01 · Licences & costs

    How does PureTenant show who holds which licence and whether it is used?

    PureTenant reads the licence inventory of your Microsoft 365 tenant and assigns every licence to the identity that holds it. Next to it you see how that person actually uses the services it includes — so unused licences and plans a person holds twice are visible at a glance. Whatever cannot be measured is shown as “not measurable” and never as zero.

  • 02 · Savings potential

    How can I tell whether a savings recommendation is right?

    Every recommendation states its reason: which licence the person holds, what they actually use of it and which licence covers the same need. The next step follows from that, such as removing a licence or assigning a better-fitting one. Potential is not yet a saving — only what you implement with your IT partner is actually saved.

  • 03 · Blind spots

    Which security gaps does PureTenant reveal that otherwise stay hidden?

    PureTenant brings together what is otherwise scattered across many admin centres: accounts without MFA, privileged roles, apps with far-reaching permissions, guests and sharing, plus vulnerabilities on devices. Much of it Microsoft only shows through PowerShell — PureTenant makes it visible. Each finding states what it concerns, together with the way to the right setting. Scattered warnings become a clear picture with measures that security and administration work through together.

  • 04 · Compliance

    What can I evidence to auditors for NIS2 (German BSIG), DORA or ISO/IEC 27001?

    One measurement, assessed against every framework in the catalogue — including NIS2 (German BSIG), DORA, ISO/IEC 27001 and BSI IT-Grundschutz. Where a setting in the tenant supports a requirement, it is shown with it; what cannot be measured is evidenced by answers to questions and a TOM document. The assessment is not a certification and does not replace an audit, but it shows where you stand and supports you in an audit.

  • 05 · Copilot & agents

    Who uses Copilot, and what are our agents allowed to do?

    PureTenant shows who uses Copilot, who is ready for a rollout and which agents exist in your tenant — together with the permissions they hold. That includes the costs: paid Copilot licences without use. Microsoft bills agents through Copilot Credits; whoever knows them and their permissions also keeps their consumption and its costs in view. The classification under the EU AI Act makes obligations visible early.
