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.

CopilotMicrosoft 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.
PurviewMost 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.
DeliveryOur Microsoft practice is built around delivering those foundations properly. Capability across all four Solutions Partner designation areas is delivered through certified specialists.
ControlOur method 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.

Copilot rollout

Purview groundwork, then Copilot adoption.

For organisations whose Copilot pilot has surfaced data the pilot user should not have seen, prompting a pause on the wider rollout. The fix is sensitivity labelling, DLP enforcement and SharePoint oversharing remediation before Copilot is opened up.

We deliver Microsoft Purview deployment mapped to your records retention schedule, followed by Copilot adoption with role-based prompt libraries, change management and measurable productivity tracking from launch.

Platform reset

Identity, FinOps and Sentinel rebuilt for what is shipping next.

For organisations whose Microsoft estate has accumulated several years of decisions and is now slowing the next investment. Identity has sprawled, the Azure bill is climbing faster than the workload, the Sentinel licensing change has prompted a re-evaluation.

We rebuild the foundations. Entra ID Governance with quarterly access reviews, Azure landing zone delivered as code that you keep, Sentinel re-architected against the current licensing model with content tuned to your environment.

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.

Delivery playbook

The foundations, delivered as product workstreams.

Each Microsoft capability is treated as a governed workstream with measurable readiness, adoption, security and cost outcomes.

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.

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.

  • Microsoft 365 Copilot Readiness Assessment with quantified gaps
  • Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels mapped to records retention schedule
  • SharePoint oversharing remediation with auto-classification
  • Role-based Copilot prompt libraries with measurable productivity tracking
  • 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.

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.

  • Sensitivity labels mapped to your records retention schedule
  • DLP policies enforced across Exchange, Teams, SharePoint and endpoint
  • eDiscovery and Insider Risk Management aligned to legal and HR processes
  • Communication Compliance for financial services and other regulated obligations
  • Records Management for statutory retention and disposition
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.

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.

  • Microsoft Entra ID P2 with ID Governance and lifecycle workflows
  • Privileged Identity Management for time-bound admin role activation
  • Entra Verified ID password-reset workflow for privileged accounts
  • Conditional Access baseline aligned to Microsoft Zero Trust guidance
  • Quarterly access certifications with 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.

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.

  • Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework reference architecture
  • Bicep or Terraform infrastructure-as-code, delivered to your repository
  • Azure Policy as code for guardrails and compliance
  • Defender for Cloud baseline aligned to your security posture
  • FinOps Foundation tagging strategy from day one
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.

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.

  • Sentinel commitment-tier licensing modelled against your data volumes
  • Defender XDR integration across Endpoint, Identity, Office and Cloud Apps
  • Content tuning with false-positive rate as the published KPI
  • Managed detection and response via Azure Lighthouse where required
  • Vendor-neutral recommendation if a competing SIEM fits better
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.

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.

  • Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry agent design and deployment
  • Identity-bound agent access through Microsoft Entra
  • Agent 365 visibility and lifecycle management
  • ROI measurement framework with quarterly review
  • Frontier Partner specialisation-aligned governance

FAQs

Microsoft technology services FAQs

Why deploy Microsoft Purview before Microsoft 365 Copilot?

Copilot surfaces data based on the user's existing access. SharePoint oversharing, unclassified data and missing DLP all become Copilot problems within minutes of rollout. Deploying Purview sensitivity labels, DLP and oversharing remediation first prevents the first useful Copilot response from being a data exposure.

What does Microsoft Solutions Partner status mean for our engagement?

Microsoft Solutions Partner is the current designation framework, covering Modern Work, Security, Infrastructure and Data & AI. Our delivery is through Microsoft Solutions Partner certified specialists across all four designation areas, with the technical accreditation and customer-success metrics behind each.

How does Copilot Studio differ from Azure AI Foundry?

Copilot Studio is the low-code agent platform integrated with Microsoft 365 and Dynamics, suited to business-led agents. Azure AI Foundry is the developer platform for building and operating AI applications and agents at scale. Most enterprises will use both.

Are you the right partner for Microsoft Sovereign Cloud?

Yes. We deliver Microsoft Azure Local connected and disconnected, including the Sovereign Private Cloud capabilities for Microsoft 365 Local and Foundry Local where customer eligibility allows. Sovereign deployment is delivered through Microsoft Sovereign Cloud certified specialists.

What does an Azure landing zone delivered as code mean?

We deploy the landing zone to the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework with Bicep or Terraform infrastructure-as-code. The code is delivered into your repository and deployed through your CI/CD pipeline, so the foundation can be maintained, audited and extended by your team.
