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.
