Information Governance

Confidence to advance your information governance journey with Microsoft Purview

Data volumes are growing. Regulations and technology are both evolving at pace. That can make information governance feel like an uphill battle.

Whether you’re addressing known shortfalls, adapting to new regulations or contractual obligations, moving to the cloud, looking to deploy generative AI or simply need to reduce expenditure and optimise your Microsoft licences, it’s never too late to take control of your information governance.

Information governance affects and involves the whole organisation. It’s all too easy for details to fall through communication gaps between IT and other business users, like risk and compliance, legal or data privacy office, leaving your business at risk of serious financial and reputational damage.

How can we help?

Our dedicated Governance, Risk and Compliance Advisory practice includes 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 information governance best practices and implementation to the table.

We understand that information governance is a journey and not a destination. We can help you assess your current security and compliance maturity and build your roadmap to give you direction. We then work alongside you as your trusted guide, to build engagement, understanding and ultimately adoption of the technology to achieve your business goals.
