Book an AI Readiness Assessment

AI Readiness Assessment

A structured review of your Microsoft 365 environment, data governance, and security posture — so you know what is ready, what needs attention, and what to do next before AI rollout.

Get you ready

Strengthen governance, security, permissions, and configuration so AI can operate within clear boundaries and trusted content.

Pilot and plan

Run a supported pilot, build confidence, capture real use cases, and set the plan for safe, scalable adoption.

Scale

Extend AI use with targeted training, adoption guidance, and clearer visibility into where value is being created.

Key outcomes

Know what is ready, reduce risk before AI becomes everyday work, and move from interest to a practical AI Action Plan.

Know what is ready and what needs attention

Get an evidence-based view of your current Microsoft 365 environment, including governance, permissions, security controls, and the gaps that could affect safe AI adoption.

Reduce risk before AI becomes everyday work

Understand where AI could surface the wrong content, create avoidable exposure, or introduce new confusion, then fix the foundations before rollout gathers pace.

Move from interest to a practical AI Action Plan

Leave with clear priorities covering remediation, configuration, training, early adoption, and the next steps needed to turn AI ambition into measurable progress.

How it works

A structured cyber and governance review that turns findings into a practical AI Action Plan.

Discovery

A stakeholder interview to understand your goals, constraints, use cases, and appetite for change, giving the assessment clear business context.

Assessment and analysis

We review your Microsoft 365 environment and the controls that matter for AI readiness, bringing findings together into clear readiness themes such as security, governance, data quality, and adoption.

AI Action Plan

You receive a structured set of recommendations and next steps covering remediation, pilot planning, training, and wider rollout.

What the assessment covers

A structured review of the foundations that matter most before wider AI rollout.

Microsoft 365 posture review

Tenant configuration and posture review across your environment.

Copilot readiness controls

Review of Copilot readiness controls and related dependencies.

Stakeholder interviews

Conversations to confirm objectives and early use cases.

Governance and security review

Review of governance, data handling, and security controls that affect AI use.

Readiness summary

A clear summary of readiness, risks, and recommended next steps.

AI Action Plan

A prioritised, practical plan covering remediation, pilot planning, and adoption next steps.

AI readiness starts with data clarity.

AI can surface the gaps in your data. Build confidence with clear ownership, secure access and a full understanding of the information your tools will use.

Adam Galfskiy

Head of AI

“AI doesn’t create your data problems, it exposes them. Many organisations have moved from a server in a cupboard to data spread across SharePoint, Teams and OneDrive, but without the same clarity over access, sensitivity or ownership. If businesses want to adopt AI with confidence, they first need to understand and control the data it will interact with.”

Questions about the AI Readiness Assessment

Answers for organisations comparing options or scoping their next step into AI.

What is included in an AI Readiness Assessment?

Your assessment includes stakeholder interviews, a review of your Microsoft 365 environment, analysis of the governance and security controls that affect AI use, and a prioritised AI Action Plan for next steps.

How does an AI Readiness Assessment reduce risk?

It shows where permissions, data handling, retention, third-party access, or security settings could create avoidable exposure before AI is rolled out more widely.

Which organisations is this for?

It is designed for organisations considering Microsoft 365 Copilot or broader AI adoption that want a clearer view of readiness before committing to rollout, licences, or training at scale.

When should you do an AI Readiness Assessment?

The right time is before wider rollout. If you are exploring AI seriously, thinking about Copilot, or already seeing informal AI use across the business, the assessment gives you a more secure starting point.

What happens after the assessment is complete?

You receive a structured AI Action Plan covering remediation, pilot planning, governance, and adoption next steps.

Why not start with licences first?

Licences alone do not solve for governance, permissions, data quality, or user confidence. Starting with readiness gives you a better chance of safer adoption, stronger outputs, and clearer business value.
