Compliance
Confidence to advance your compliance journey with Microsoft.
Regulations and technology are both evolving at pace. That can make staying on top of compliance obligations feel like an uphill battle.
It’s all too easy for details to fall through communication gaps between IT and Compliance, leaving your business at risk of serious financial and reputational damage.
Whether you’re addressing known shortfalls, adapting to new regulations or contractual obligations, moving to the cloud, or simply need to reduce expenditure and optimise your Microsoft licences, it’s never too late to correct your compliance trajectory.
How can we help?
Our dedicated Compliance Advisory practice includes Gold Certified Microsoft technicians and extraordinarily tech-savvy legal and risk experts.
This best-of-both-worlds combination means we bring a uniquely well-rounded perspective on compliance best practices and implementation to the table.
Our compliance workshops use a problem-focused, risk-based approach to uncover compliance challenges and their potential impact. Our recommendations are developed through consultation with key stakeholders. They encompass people, processes and technology, resulting in more sustainable – yet agile – compliance frameworks.
Our Workshops
All Cloud Essential workshops are designed to be a catalyst for accelerating your cloud journey. We’ll impart years of specialist knowledge, facilitate high-quality conversations between stakeholders, promote informed decision-making, and point you towards a logical and achievable onward journey.
