Frequently asked questions
What should a small IT team audit first?
Start with identity and access: who has Global Admin, which accounts haven’t logged in for 90 days, and whether Conditional Access and MFA are actually enforced. Privileged Access and Orphaned Users cover this. Data exposure — files shared publicly, anonymous links — is the next priority, covered by Oversharing Report and Sharing Report.
Does this replace Microsoft Defender or Purview?
No. Purview and Defender produce signals at the tenant level; gtools.pro converts those signals into actionable lists — every file with public sharing, every site with broken inheritance, every privileged account dormant 90+ days — that a single admin can act on without a security team to interpret a dashboard.
Can audits run unattended, without me babysitting them?
Yes — twelve audit tools support Scheduled Reports: the platform runs the audit on a cron schedule and emails the result to a distribution list. Examples: a weekly oversharing report, a monthly privileged access review, a quarterly orphaned users sweep.
What Microsoft licenses does this require?
Most audit tools work with any M365 license. Privileged Access requires Azure AD P2 (PIM activation data is a P2-only feature). Defender alerts surfaced in the Security Dashboard require Defender for Office or M365 E5 Security. Each tool page lists its specific license requirements.
Does gtools.pro fix the issues it finds automatically?
No. This is a detective control — findings are reported as a ranked, exportable list; remediation happens in the Entra, Defender or Purview consoles. Severity rankings use a documented internal heuristic that may diverge from Microsoft Secure Score.
What does this cost for one tenant?
Solo is permanently free for a single admin. Paid tiers are published, flat, per-user or per-tenant per year (Watchtower EUR 7 / user / year, Backup EUR 14 / user / year, Blueprint EUR 449 / tenant / year) — no quote, no procurement cycle. Microsoft add-on licenses some tools require (Azure AD P2, Defender for Office) are separate and not included.
