Petri Data Study sponsored by Cayosoft
The State of Free Microsoft Identity Tools
This document provides a high-level overview of how Cayosoft secures and operates its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform. It is intended for customers and prospects evaluating Cayosoft SaaS from a security, privacy, and compliance perspective.
Cayosoft SaaS is designed to help organizations monitor, protect, and recover identity systems across Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, Intune and Microsoft 365. Because identity represents a critical control plane in modern environments, Cayosoft applies security-by-design principles throughout the SaaS platform lifecycle. This document describes the security controls implemented and operated by Cayosoft for the SaaS platform itself. It does not replace customer security responsibilities and does not describe controls implemented within customer-managed environments.

The survey paints a picture of widespread fragmentation and fatigue in identity security operations.
- Many teams rely on a patchwork of scripts, logs, and standalone scanners that require manual effort to maintain.
- Tools often overlap or leave coverage gaps between on-premises and cloud systems.
- Budget pressures and tool sprawl compound the issue, forcing teams to prioritize cost and simplicity over depth and automation.
The expanding attack surface requires more coverage.
