FAQ

Honest answers.

How is Anzenna different from Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management?+
Purview is strong inside the Microsoft estate. It analyzes signals from Microsoft 365 and Entra using policy templates and machine learning, with endpoint signals through Defender. Its depth and its licensing are tied to that ecosystem. Anzenna is vendor-neutral, reasoning over behavior, identity, and context across 130+ sources, and runs the full investigation regardless of which tools you use.
We are a Microsoft shop with E5. Why add Anzenna?+
Purview covers Microsoft 365 well, but insider risk crosses Okta, Google Workspace, GitHub, Snowflake, and dozens of other systems your people use every day. Anzenna covers that non-Microsoft surface natively and reasons across all of it together, so a risk that starts in one system and lands in another is seen as one story.
Does Anzenna replace Purview, or work alongside it?+
Either. Anzenna can consolidate insider risk into one vendor-neutral platform, or run alongside Purview, ingesting your Microsoft 365 signals together with everything outside the Microsoft estate for a single, unified view.
Do we need Microsoft 365 E5 or Purview licensing for Anzenna?+
No. Anzenna is a standalone platform with no suite lock-in. It connects through read-only API access to the systems you already run, Microsoft and non-Microsoft alike.
Is Anzenna itself secure?+
Yes. Anzenna uses read-only access to metadata only, is revocable by the customer at any time, and is SOC 2 Type II certified and Microsoft 365 security certified, including an independent compliance assessment and pentest by Microsoft.

Insider risk beyond Microsoft.
