Why govern Entra ID with Rencore

Enforce identity lifecycle

Detect accounts without recent sign-in activity, disabled accounts still assigned to groups, and users missing required attributes. Automate cleanup with approval-based workflows.

Control admin role sprawl

Find users with excessive directory roles, service principals with stale credentials, and accounts assigned Global Administrator without documented justification.

Manage guest access

Identify guest accounts that persist beyond their invitation period, external users without a linked sponsor, and guests with access to sensitive groups or applications.

Ground cross-platform identity

Entra ID is the identity backbone for all Rencore connectors. Policies across Slack, Claude, n8n, and other platforms link external users back to Entra ID to detect orphaned access.

How Entra ID governance works in Rencore

Rencore connects to Microsoft Entra ID via Microsoft Graph API and inventories users, groups, directory roles, service principals, applications, and guest accounts. Policies run on every scan cycle and flag identity lifecycle issues, excessive permissions, and stale credentials with severity levels and recommended actions.

The identity governance foundation

Entra ID is the identity layer for every Microsoft 365 service and most third-party SaaS connectors. Governance gaps in Entra ID cascade into every connected platform. A disabled user in Entra ID who still holds Claude access or Slack membership is a cross-platform risk that starts with identity.

Who uses Entra ID governance

IT administrators use it to maintain clean identity hygiene across the directory. CISOs rely on admin role policies to enforce least-privilege access. M365 product owners use the cross-platform identity linking to detect orphaned access across all connected services.

Getting started

Connect your Microsoft 365 tenant. Entra ID policies activate on first scan, covering users, groups, roles, and guest accounts. No additional configuration beyond the standard Microsoft Graph permissions.

Frequently asked questions

What governance areas does Rencore cover?
Rencore covers six governance pillars: visibility and inventory across all Microsoft 365 services, ready-to-go policies with over 100 pre-built governance checks, compliance and audit evidence collection for regulatory requirements, extensibility and customization through custom policies and automations, cross-department collaboration with shared dashboards and role-based access, and AI and Copilot readiness to prepare tenants for secure AI adoption.
What is Rencore governance?
Rencore governance is a SaaS platform that continuously monitors your Microsoft 365 tenant for policy violations, configuration drift, and security risks across SharePoint, Teams, Power Platform, Copilot, and AI Agents. It automates compliance evidence collection, surfaces oversharing and sprawl, and provides actionable remediation workflows, reducing manual audit effort by up to 80%.
How do Rencore policies work?
Rencore ships with hundreds of pre-built policies that detect governance violations across every connector, oversharing, sprawl, cost overruns, security risks, and compliance gaps. Policies run on a continuous schedule, evaluate each discovered object against configurable rules, and flag violations with severity (High, Medium, Low), category, and a recommended action.
