Microsoft 365 governance
For organisations whose Microsoft 365 environment has grown and that want order before data protection, audit or a migration forces it.
Updated: 2026-11
We develop a governance concept for Microsoft 365: who may create teams and sites, how they are named, classified and archived, how guest access works, which retention and sensitivity rules apply and how Power Automate and Power Apps grow under control. With roles, policies and an implementation plan for your IT.
Microsoft 365 makes collaboration easy, and disorder too. After a few years there are hundreds of teams without owners, sites with open sharing, guests who no longer belong and flows built by someone who has left.
At the latest with a data breach, an audit or the introduction of AI assistants that access everything a user can reach, this disorder becomes a risk.

Price framing
Effort depends on size and state of the environment. Concept and implementation support can be commissioned separately; technical configuration is done with your IT or provider.
Indicative, not a binding quote — the frame is confirmed during scoping.

FAQ
Do you configure the tenant yourselves?
We develop rules and the plan and support implementation. Configuration is done with your IT or provider so operations and accountability stay there.
Why does governance matter before Copilot?
AI assistants find everything a person can access, which exposes overly broad sharing. Clean permissions are the precondition.
Does governance slow teams down?
Bad governance does. Good governance makes self-service safe: clear rules instead of individual requests.
Is data protection included?
Yes. Retention, sensitivity, guest access and processors are aligned with the data protection leads.
