tenfold CE Enhances Free Identity Governance with Two New Features
tenfold Software has announced two new features for its free Community Edition (CE) Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) tool, expanding capabilities for organizations with fewer than 150 managed users. The updates, released on October 5, 2026, introduce shared content governance and event auditing to address growing security and operational challenges in modern IT environments.
As organizations scale beyond a few dozen users, manual identity governance becomes increasingly problematic, leading to onboarding delays, overprivileged accounts, stale credentials, and limited visibility into access rights. These issues not only hinder IT efficiency but also elevate the risk of data leaks and breaches. tenfold’s CE aims to bridge the gap for small and mid-sized organizations that find enterprise IGA solutions too costly or complex to deploy and maintain.
Shared Content Governance Addresses Microsoft 365 Blind Spots
The first new feature focuses on governing shared content within Microsoft 365 environments, a known security gap where native tools lack sufficient granularity. tenfold’s shared content governance provides:
- A centralized overview of all shared files across Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint, including content in site collections, channels, private chats, and individual OneDrives.
- Recurring access reviews that notify file, channel, or site owners to audit who has access to content they previously shared.
Each reviewer receives a personalized dashboard with a checklist of every shared item they have distributed, enabling them to confirm or revoke access quickly. This approach allows organizations to leverage M365 collaboration features while maintaining control over shared data, reducing risks of oversharing and persistent cloud access.
Event Auditing Adds Real-Time Threat Detection Capabilities
The second feature, event auditing, tenfold integrates real-time log analysis with its IGA framework to help organizations detect and respond to identity-based threats as they occur. With this capability, users can:
- Ingest and analyze event log data from selected sources.
- Record specific event types in tenfold’s database for ongoing monitoring.
- Filter events by user, system, or event type to investigate suspicious patterns.
- Save and share queries for rapid access to recurring investigations.
- Identify anomalies such as login spikes or newly created administrative accounts.
By providing up-to-the-minute visibility into identity events, the feature enables proactive threat response before incidents can escalate, complementing traditional governance with actionable intelligence.
tenfold CE Maintains Feature Parity and Accessibility
tenfold emphasizes that its Community Edition remains fully aligned with paid tiers, receiving updates and new features simultaneously without delayed releases or premium-only restrictions. The CE includes all features and integrations of the company’s highest licensing tier, subject only to the 150-user limit, with no usage caps beyond that threshold.
Organizations interested in trying the tool can request the tenfold Community Edition through the company’s website. Additional resources include a streamlined setup wizard with built-in Active Directory and Entra ID integrations, video tutorials for onboarding, and access to an official Community Edition subreddit for peer and team support.
For those seeking a deeper look, tenfold offers personalized demos of its platform upon request. The announcement was sponsored and written by tenfold Software.
