We already bought the licences. Are we too late?
No. Most firms buy first. The work is still the tenant, then a 30-day pilot for the people who actually need it. Unused licences are a bill problem. Unsafe licences are an insurer problem.
The tenant

Microsoft Copilot readiness, then a 30-day pilot.
Copilot that earns its licence.
Copilot stays unsafe while the shared drive is. Purview, oversharing, labels, the right licences. Then a 30-day pilot for the people who actually need it.
Your Microsoft partner will run a readiness workshop for free, funded by Microsoft, to sell you more licences. This is the independent alternative: governance from a practice with no licences to sell.
From £7,500, fixed · for a firm of 50-250 people
Labels on, the leak cut, the lock closed: then Copilot switches on.
01
Who this is for
The licences usually arrive first
Who this is for
Firms that already bought Microsoft 365 Copilot, or are about to. Professional services of 50-200, where every shared mailbox is a biography of the client book. South West wealth and IFA firms, where a prompt must not surface another family's file.
The board asked about Copilot and heard a silence. The licences are on the bill, or about to be. Somebody has to make the tenant safe to try.
Start higher
If nobody owns the tenant
Start with the fractional Head of IT seat: a named senior on the leadership team who owns IT, one or two days a week. This page is the tenant sprint inside that work, and it also runs on its own.
02
What we do
The tenant first, then the pilot
Microsoft 365 Copilot governance
We make the tenant fit to try Copilot.
OversharingThe open link, the "everyone" group, the shared drive that never had an owner.
PurviewRetention, data loss prevention, audit. What an insurer will ask for after the first incident.
LabelsWhat is client, what is internal, what is partner.
The right licencesWho actually needs Copilot. Who can wait.
Then a 30-day pilot: switch Copilot on for a small group and measure what it does.
Microsoft funds its partners to run readiness workshops at no cost to you, and those partners are paid on the licences you then buy. Take the workshop if it helps. We hold no reseller incentives, so "fewer licences" is an answer we are allowed to give.
The AI angle
Everyone tells firms to adopt AI. Nobody owns making the firm ready for it, and Copilot is usually where that gap shows first: a copilot on an ungoverned tenant reads whatever the sharing culture left open.
This sprint is AI enablement at its plainest. The work stays unglamorous: access, labels, retention, audit, the right licences. That is what AI-ready means on a Microsoft tenant, and it is why the pilot can be trusted when it reports back.
It is also one entry point into a wider framework. The fractional Head of IT owns the AI agenda alongside the whole estate, and the production IT agent puts AI to work in a single workflow once the ground is safe.
03
How it runs
Diagnose. Deliver. Decide.
Diagnose
We sit with the people who actually run the tenant. We look at sharing, labels, and the licences already on the bill.
Deliver
First the tenant, then the pilot. The outcome is board-readable: what is safe, what is not, and who has earned a licence.
Decide
A retainer if the Head of IT seat still needs filling. Governance drifts, and someone has to own it. Or you keep the gains and run it yourselves.
04
What you leave with
Board-readable, insurer-ready
A tenant you can defend to an insurer.
Labels and sharing rules people can actually follow.
A 30-day pilot result. Keep, cut, or pause the licences.
A written view the board can read without a Microsoft dialect.
05
The price
Fixed, priced before it starts
What it costs
From £7,500
Fixed, for a firm of 50-250 people.
Scoped at diagnose, priced before it starts.
Licences stay on your Microsoft bill. We hold no reseller incentives, which is rather the point.

FAQs
Straight answers
Microsoft Copilot readiness FAQs
What is Purview doing in a Copilot conversation?
Copilot reads what people can already see. If oversharing is the culture, Purview is how you prove you stopped it. Labels, data loss prevention, audit. The boring layer that makes the pilot honest.
Will you roll Copilot out to the whole firm?
We pilot with the people who actually need it. Whole-firm rollouts wait until the tenant is safe and the pilot's KPI supports them. This is readiness and a 30-day pilot.
Does this replace Cyber Essentials work?
No. A tenant that would fail an insurer still needs the evidence pack. The two sprints often run together.
Do you keep our MSP?
Yes, if it works. We sit above it. The MSP still handles the tickets the new labels create.
Our Microsoft partner offers a readiness workshop for free. Why pay for this?
Take the free workshop if you like. It is funded by Microsoft and its job is to sell licences. This engagement is the independent layer: Purview, oversharing, labels, and a written view that can say "fewer licences" or "not yet". A reseller cannot mark its own homework.
What does it cost?
From £7,500, fixed, for a firm of 50-250 people. Scoped at diagnose. Licences stay on your Microsoft bill.
