The average higher-ed Microsoft 365 tenant is an expanding attack surface: hundreds of admins, thousands of ungoverned permissions, and no single record of what changed, who changed it, or whether it should have changed at all. CoreView gives central IT control of who can change what, across every campus and tenant.










Staff, faculty, and students under management at our largest higher ed customer (City University of New York).
Saved through M365 license recovery and waste prevention (a leading academic health system in the US).
Automated tasks per month across 49 active workflows at one institution (A private higher education network in France).
Primary and secondary school tenants managed by a team of five (UK county schools team).
Every campus wants its own administrative patch. Faculties, schools, districts, and research groups all want ownership over their own Microsoft 365 environment. Central IT cannot say no without slowing teaching and research. But every delegated admin account that isn't scoped, reviewed, or offboarded correctly is a standing security risk.
Configuration drift, ungoverned permissions, and unreviewed admin access don't surface on a convenient timeline. In higher ed, they surface during finals, accreditation visits, and grant deadlines. There's no recovery slack and every failure is public.
New cohorts every September, mass offboarding every spring, contractors and visiting faculty year round. Every wave of onboarding and offboarding is a lifecycle event. And every lifecycle event that isn't handled cleanly leaves accounts, permissions, and access that shouldn't exist.
Ungoverned permissions, stale identities, and unreviewed config changes don't wait for a convenient moment to surface. The academic calendar means they surface at the four windows below, in public, with no recovery slack.


Higher-ed environments combine open collaboration settings, high student-account turnover, and distributed admin access. Those are exactly the conditions that create exploitable gaps. The academic calendar means there's no quiet week to find them before someone else does.
Manage many separate tenants centrally or carve one tenant into virtual tenants. Delegated admin scoped per campus, faculty, school, or district. Single audit trail across every tenant.
Continuous drift detection against CIS, Essential 8, or your gold image. Tracks changes to Teams, SharePoint, Entra, retention, and sharing policies. Surfaces risk before it becomes a finding.
Full record of every config change, by tenant, by admin, with timestamps. Alerts via email, Teams, ServiceNow, or your SIEM. Side-by-side comparison of student, staff, faculty, and test tenants.
Roll back a single rule or a whole tenant in minutes, not days. Continuity when key admins leave between academic years. Change history for accreditors, auditors, and safeguarding reviews.
CUNY supports approximately two million staff, faculty, and students. The challenge was less about consolidating these campuses and more about giving 26 campuses real administrative autonomy without losing central visibility, security controls, or the ability to recover when something changed that shouldn't have.
One virtual tenant per campus, with admin scope limited to that campus only
Workflows and management actions deliver service requests at scale without elevating central admin access
Central IT keeps a single audit trail of who changed what, where, and when across all 26 campuses
After an eight-month renewal cycle, CUNY committed to a three-year renewal with annual installments
Day one is read-only and term-safe. You can connect, see, and report before you change anything.
Works with Commercial M365, MicrosoftEducation A1/A3/A5, and hybrid environments. No changes to your tenant on dayone. Term-safe.
Map how the institution actually operates. Campuses, faculties, schools, districts, research groups, or any mix become virtual tenants with their own scope.
Compare every tenant to an approved gold image: CIS, Essential 8, your internal standard, or all three. Drift gets flagged automatically.
When something breaks, pick a date androll back. A single rule, a whole tenant, or anything in between. No screenshots, no tickets, no manual rebuild.
Compare configurations across every tenant under management. Promote one validated baseline across every campus, school or district.





Accreditation cycles, safeguarding reviews, regional regulators, and Microsoft's own deployment rules all expect documentation.
