Context
Microsoft has reshaped its platform around Copilot, agents, sovereignty and identity-first security. Effective deployment depends on the information protection and identity work that comes first.
Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio agents, Agent 365, Azure AI Foundry, Microsoft Fabric, Sentinel licensing changes, Microsoft Sovereign Private Cloud and the Frontier Partner specialisation have all reshaped what a Microsoft estate looks like. Most of the value depends on the foundations. Purview labels and DLP for Copilot, Entra ID Governance for identity, Azure landing zones for cloud, Sentinel content tuned for the new licensing model.
Our Microsoft practice is built around delivering those foundations properly. Capability across all four Solutions Partner designation areas is delivered through certified specialists, with a delivery method that puts Purview before Copilot, identity governance before tenant-wide rollouts, and infrastructure-as-code in your repository rather than ours.

Who we serve
Two starting points. One Microsoft programme.
We work with organisations whose Microsoft 365 Copilot rollout has been paused on data-governance grounds, and with estates that need a foundational reset before the next major Microsoft investment.
What we deliver
Six Microsoft capabilities, delivered as one platform.
From Microsoft 365 Copilot through to Azure AI Foundry agents, with the governance and identity foundations included.
Microsoft 365 Copilot
Copilot Readiness Assessment, Purview rollout, SharePoint oversharing remediation, role-based prompt libraries, change management and adoption tracking from launch.
Microsoft Purview
Sensitivity labels, DLP, eDiscovery, Insider Risk Management, Records Management, Communication Compliance. Mapped to your records retention schedule, not a generic taxonomy.
Microsoft Entra
Entra ID P2, ID Governance with access reviews and lifecycle workflows, Verified ID for password resets, Privileged Identity Management for admin roles, Conditional Access baselines.
Azure landing zones and FinOps
Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework reference architecture, Bicep or Terraform infrastructure-as-code handed to your repository, Azure Policy as code, FinOps Foundation alignment.
Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR
Sentinel SIEM with content tuned to your environment, Defender for Endpoint, Identity, Office and Cloud Apps, with managed detection and response via Azure Lighthouse where required.
Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry
Frontier Partner specialisation-aligned agent design, governed Copilot Studio and Foundry deployment, Agent 365 visibility, identity-bound agent access.
01 · Copilot Deployment
Microsoft 365 Copilot deployed on a foundation that is ready for it.
Copilot surfaces data based on what the user already has access to. SharePoint oversharing accumulated over a decade or more, sensitivity labels not deployed, DLP not enforced, and inconsistent records retention all become Copilot problems within minutes of rollout. Effective deployment starts with the information protection foundation.
We run a Microsoft 365 Copilot Readiness Assessment with quantified gaps, deploy Purview sensitivity labels mapped to your records retention schedule, remediate SharePoint oversharing with auto-classification, and apply DLP across Exchange, Teams, SharePoint and endpoint. Copilot then rolls out with role-based prompt libraries, structured change management and adoption tracking from launch.
02 · Microsoft Purview
Microsoft Purview deployed against your records retention schedule.
Microsoft Purview has matured into a credible information-protection suite covering sensitivity labels, DLP, eDiscovery, Insider Risk Management, Communication Compliance and Records Management. Used together it replaces a stack of point tools and provides the data classification that Copilot, Sentinel and the wider Microsoft platform now depend on. Most estates have it licensed and partly used.
We deploy Purview to the records retention schedule your business actually uses, not a Microsoft template. Labels map to your business taxonomy. DLP is enforced through Exchange, Teams, SharePoint and endpoint. eDiscovery and Insider Risk Management align to your legal and HR processes. Communication Compliance covers FCA, FINRA, MAS and other regulated obligations.
03 · Microsoft Entra
Microsoft Entra ID Governance deployed and operated.
Identity is the primary attack surface for enterprise IT, and Microsoft Entra has shipped the platform components needed to defend it. ID Governance with access reviews and lifecycle workflows, Privileged Identity Management for time-bound admin roles, Verified ID for high-risk password resets, and Conditional Access aligned to Microsoft Zero Trust deployment guidance.
We deploy Entra ID P2 with the full ID Governance feature set, lifecycle workflows and entitlement management. PIM is configured for time-bound, just-in-time admin role activation. Verified ID covers high-risk password resets. Conditional Access is baselined to Microsoft Zero Trust. Quarterly access certifications operate against named approvers.
04 · Azure Landing Zones
Azure landing zones delivered as code in your repository.
Azure estates that started with a Quick Start landing zone and evolved through ad-hoc decisions tend to accumulate unmanaged spend, inconsistent security baselines and architecture that does not scale to AI workloads. The Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework standardises the approach, with infrastructure-as-code as the deployment mechanism.
We rebuild the landing zone to the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework with Bicep or Terraform infrastructure-as-code, Azure Policy as code for guardrails, Defender for Cloud baseline aligned to your security posture, and FinOps Foundation tagging from day one. The code is delivered into your repository and deployed through your CI/CD pipeline.
05 · Sentinel and Defender XDR
Microsoft Sentinel optimised against the current licensing model.
Microsoft Sentinel's licensing model has shifted, prompting many organisations to re-evaluate whether to optimise, re-platform or stay. The right answer depends on data ingestion volume, retention requirements, content needs and how integrated the Defender XDR estate is. The decision is best made with the cost modelled against actual data volumes.
We deliver a Sentinel optimisation assessment with commitment-tier licensing modelled against your actual data volumes, Defender XDR integration mapped across Endpoint, Identity, Office and Cloud Apps, and content tuned to your environment with false-positive rate published as a primary KPI. Where Sentinel is the right answer, we deliver the optimised platform. Where a competing SIEM fits better, that is the recommendation.
06 · Agents and Frontier
Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry agents, governed from day one.
Microsoft has shifted to an agent-first platform with Copilot Studio for low-code business agents, Azure AI Foundry for engineering-led agents at scale, Agent 365 for visibility, and the Frontier Partner specialisation to standardise governance. Without a governance regime, agents proliferate inside organisations the way bots and macros once did, with identity, audit and ROI implications.
We design and deploy agents on Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry to the Frontier Partner specialisation standards, delivered through Microsoft Solutions Partner certified specialists. Identity-bound through Microsoft Entra. Visible in Agent 365. Instrumented for ROI measurement, with quarterly review against the original use case. Decommissioning process documented for agents that no longer earn their place.
