If you’ve ever tried to run a governance assessment or Microsoft 365 health check across a client tenant without tripping over permission roadblocks, Powershell issues or just trying to get the data you need we feel your pain.
That’s exactly why we built Orchestry Beacon.
Beacon is the newest (and most powerful) way for Microsoft partners, MSPs, and consultants to ignite their services engine without needing write access, full SaaS deployment, or months of client approvals. It’s everything partners have been asking for: frictionless, secure, insightful, and designed to drive service revenue fast.
Let me explain why Beacon is quickly becoming a game-changer for Microsoft partners and governance pros alike.
Today’s Microsoft 365 tenants are a mess—sprawling Teams, duplicate SharePoint sites, abandoned Groups, and guest access running wild. Organizations know this, but often don’t know where to start.
Most services start with needing visibility.
Gaining insights across the tenant is a slow, complex process often requiring global admin rights, writing complex Powershell scrips, or bouncing between disjointed Microsoft portals.
That’s a non-starter for many clients and a deal-killer for fast partner engagement.
Beacon is a fully read-only version of Orchestry, purpose-built for partners and security-minded customers. It delivers the full depth of Orchestry’s reporting engine at a fraction of the cost and time of custom scripting or manual analysis.
It’s your all-access, powerful dashboard for governance reporting, guest insights, Copilot readiness, and lifecycle analysis. And it installs with minimal Entra ID permissions, making it a safe, simple starting point for nearly any client.
What does that mean in practice?
In other words, Beacon turns governance discovery into a service and a profitable one.
We didn’t just build Beacon for compliance teams or curious IT admins we built it specifically for Microsoft partners looking to expand recurring revenue through services.
Beacon gives you the data, insights, and dashboards you need to create deliverables clients will love you for!
And because Beacon requires a fraction of the permissions of full Orchestry, you’ll never get stuck in security review purgatory or slow down the sales motion. It’s fast to deploy, secure by design, and priced to support multi-tenant scale.
Beacon includes a robust set of features that mirror Orchestry’s enterprise-grade reporting suite—all delivered in a non-invasive, read-only format:
Feature |
Benefit |
| Lifecycle Dashboards and Reporting | Instantly surface abandoned, stale, and high-risk workspaces. |
| Guest Access Dashboards and Reporting | Audit all external sharing across Teams, Groups, and SharePoint. |
| Copilot Readiness Dashboard | Complete overview and understanding of a tenant's readiness for Copilot. |
| Health Checks | Create an instant overview of a tenant complete with annotations and custom recommendations. |
| Recommendations | Intelligent, prioritized recommendations for security, governance, adoption and much more. |
| Permissions Reporting | See all Broken Permissions and Shared Links. |
If you’ve ever delivered a governance assessment manually using Powershell and Excel then Beacon will feel like a superpower.
From day one, Beacon was designed to enable services, not replace them.
At Orchestry, we know your business depends on consultative value. That’s why we built Beacon to support:
Partners can use Beacon across tenants without worrying about data risk or management overhead. It’s low-cost, secure, and immediately usable.
Beacon is not a tool—it’s a services engine.
It allows you to build profitable offerings around:
And because it’s flat-fee licensed, Beacon gives you pricing flexibility to bundle it into fixed-fee packages or offer it as a subscription add-on.
Need proof it works? Our partners are already launching new service lines, winning more assessments, and converting Beacon-powered audits into long-term managed services.
We’re starting to see partners develop repeatable offerings like:
