Copilot readiness

Fix what Copilot would find before it finds it.

Our readiness assessment reviews your Microsoft 365 tenant for loose permissions, sharing links, sites with no owner, missing labels and stale content, all the things that make Copilot answer badly or show people what they should not see. You get the issues ranked by risk and effort, with a remediation plan you can run yourselves or hand to us.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is a Copilot readiness assessment?

A review of your Microsoft 365 tenant before you turn Copilot on, covering permissions, sharing links, site ownership, retention and content quality.

Why do we need one before turning Copilot on?

Copilot inherits your existing permissions. If sharing is loose, sites have no owner and content has not been reviewed in years, Copilot will surface and summarise all of it.

How long does it take?

Two to three weeks for a typical tenant, depending on size and how much access we are given at the start.

What do we get at the end?

A findings report with the issues ranked by risk and effort, and a remediation plan you can run yourselves or hand to us.
