Microsoft Copilot Maturity Assessment

Identify and mitigate risks to accelerate your generative AI journey with confidence.

Without clear risk evaluation and compliance measures, pilot programmes often stall due to unresolved data security and privacy concerns. Our Microsoft Copilot Maturity Assessment provides a structured framework to assess and manage risks, ensuring the safe deployment of Copilot within your business.

Our Solution

This comprehensive 4-week service is designed to provide a definitive path towards Copilot adoption. We systematically gather insights into your current processes, capabilities, and performance to establish benchmarks, assess maturity levels, and pinpoint any gaps. This groundwork allows us to develop a detailed plan tailored to your specific needs.

Throughout the process, our multi-disciplinary team works closely with your stakeholders, bringing extensive expertise in governance, risk, compliance, IT, and cybersecurity to align AI strategies with your business goals. By integrating Microsoft and industry best practices with our tried-and-tested eight-step framework, you will gain an independent perspective that enhances risk mitigation and secures your long-term strategic success.

Deliverables

At the end of the readiness assessment, you will have:

A robust business case for risk mitigation and secure Copilot use

A detailed report with actionable recommendations and scoped remediation activities

What our clients are saying about our data governance experience

We found the process of completing the Microsoft 365 Compliance Assessment with Cloud Essentials very useful. It was a catalyst to bring together all the stakeholders in the project and to build together a prioritised roadmap. We really benefitted from Cloud Essentials' understanding of the inner workings of Microsoft Purview, combined with their knowledge of the legislative and regulatory compliance landscape. It's provided us with a springboard for success as we prioritise improving data governance and reducing data risk.

“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."
