Shine a light into the dark to uncover hidden risk and dark data and learn how to protect and govern your Microsoft 365 environment with confidence
We conduct a pre-engagement call to discuss the assessment, align expectations, discuss resource requirements, pre-requisites and establish timelines. The assessment performed will be dependent on your business requirements. It will include a questionnaire and policy/document capture and may include elements of Microsoft-funded workshops, where applicable.
The assessment gives an accurate picture of your current position so that we can formulate your roadmap for organisation wide adoption of both Microsoft 365 capabilities and broader governance initiatives around your content.
Our team is able to break down the barriers between IT, Business and Risk using the appropriate language for each audience to get the necessary buy in and give advice on people, process and technology to accelerate your compliance journey.
An assessment conclusion session will deliver observations and commentary on information captured along with overall findings in level of maturity.
We use our experience alongside your priorities to provide a suggested roadmap for Microsoft 365 compliance and governance initiatives, quick wins and recommendations for deployment against a proven methodology.

“Cloud Essentials has been essential to BulkSMS in ensuring we advance our data protection maturity in the local and global markets. We engaged with both the Data Privacy Assessment and Advisory Workshop and the Data Classification Taxonomy Workshop, which were run professionally by Cloud Essentials. In the workshops the Cloud Essentials data privacy team did a deep dive into the complexities of our operations and BulkSMS has benefited from their expert legal, compliance and technical advice in future-proofing our data protection programme.”
"I found Cloud Essentials’ approach to dealing with the process of demystifying data classification to be very effective at taking what seemed like a daunting and complex environment and breaking it down into sensible and easily consumable parts. Their depth of knowledge in this space is impressive and as a result of our interaction with them, our own depth of knowledge has increased markedly. I would recommend them with confidence."
