One asset picture for Cyber Essentials across a multi-campus university
A multi-campus university spread across a large and remote region deployed Rebasoft to bring network discovery and its device management systems together into one inventory, the foundation for its Cyber Essentials submission and ongoing security monitoring.

The challenge
- Campuses and learning centres spread across a wide geography, each with its own devices and networks.
- Asset information sat in separate systems: network, Windows and Mac device management, and the directory.
- Cyber Essentials needed a complete, evidenced inventory, pulled together on a tight timetable.
Our approach
- Rebasoft deployed as virtual machines in the university’s own environment, with its switches onboarded for discovery.
- Agentless discovery of everything connecting to the network, flagging unknown systems.
- Connectors to Intune, JAMF, Active Directory and SNMP, correlated into a single record per asset and exportable for Cyber Essentials.
Built out with the university
Unknown devices surfaced
Anything on the network that no management system knew about is flagged for follow-up.
One asset view
Network, endpoint management and directory data correlated, rather than reconciled by hand.
Cyber Essentials evidence
Inventory output shaped to support the university’s Cyber Essentials submission.
Secure sign-in
Entra ID single sign-on with group-to-role mapping for staff, read-only and supplier access.
Customer-led features
New functionality developed at the university’s request and reviewed with them in regular progress sessions.
Room to grow
NetFlow traffic visibility and continuous vulnerability monitoring on the same platform.
The outcome: one inventory of what is on the university’s network and how it is managed, ready to evidence Cyber Essentials.
Why it matters for universities
Built for sprawling estates
Many sites, one view, no agents on student devices.
Compliance-ready
Inventory evidence for Cyber Essentials from live data.
A long-term partner
Features shaped by the university’s own feedback.
