CyberDrain is the MSP community project started by Kelvin Tegelaar. Its main product is CIPP (CyberDrain Improved Partner Portal), an open-source, multi-tenant management portal for Microsoft 365 that replaces jumping between the Microsoft partner, Entra, Exchange, Intune and Teams admin centers for every client. CIPP connects to client tenants through GDAP and the Microsoft Graph API. It handles user creation, editing and offboarding, license management, mailbox and group administration, Conditional Access and Intune policy deployment, and standards that apply and enforce a security baseline across all tenants, with alignment and best-practice reports. It integrates with MSP tools such as HaloPSA, NinjaOne, Hudu and Gradient, and exposes an API. CIPP is licensed under the AGPL 3.0 and released frequently (10.7.0 in July 2026). CIPP can be self-hosted free in the MSP's own Azure subscription (paying only Azure costs) or used as a hosted plan from CyberDrain for €99 per month. CyberDrain also offers CoW, a compliance and warranty tracking tool (free up to 250 devices, $69 per month beyond), plus a free Discord community, the MSPKB knowledge base and a capture-the-flag competition.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Open Source & Community Driven

AGPL 3.0 open source with an active Discord community and many GitHub contributors.

MSP-Specific Focus

Built specifically for MSPs by MSPs, addressing real daily pain points in Microsoft 365 management

Multi-Tenant Management

Eliminates the multi-tab nightmare by providing unified management across all client tenants

Cost Effective

Self-hosted CIPP is free apart from Azure costs, and the hosted plan is €99 per month.

Rapid Development

Frequent releases with features driven by community feedback.

Cons

Learning Curve

Requires understanding of Azure deployment and Microsoft Graph API concepts for optimal use

Self-Hosted Complexity

Self-hosting means deploying and updating Azure Functions and a Static Web App in your own subscription.

Microsoft Dependency

Microsoft 365 only; it does not manage Google Workspace, endpoints outside Intune or on-premises AD.

Documentation Scattered

While comprehensive, documentation is spread across multiple sources (website, GitHub, Discord)

Broad Permissions Required

CIPP needs wide GDAP and Graph permissions over every client tenant, so securing the CIPP instance and its admins is critical.
