Is Your Sensitive Data Truly Secure?
Envision a future where your sensitive data is fully secure and compliance headaches are a thing of the past. The Microsoft Data Security Envisioning Workshop helps you imagine that ideal state and map out how to achieve it. This free, Microsoft-funded engagement isn’t just about finding issues – it’s about shaping your data protection journey. Our experts work with you to visualise “what good looks like” for your organisation’s data security, then provide a step-by-step plan to make that future a reality. You’ll discover where your data is most at risk today and envision a plan for tomorrow – implementing modern protections, fostering a proactive culture, and confidently meeting regulations (GDPR, DPDP Act) going forward. All with Microsoft’s guidance and at no cost to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a strategic, Microsoft-funded engagement that helps you imagine and shape the future of your data protection and compliance. We don’t just assess your current setup; we work with you to envision your ideal data security posture and then map out how to achieve it. The term “Envisioning” highlights the forward-looking nature – it’s about picturing “what good looks like” for your organisation and creating a plan to get there.
Yes – eligible organisations can participate at no cost. Microsoft funds the workshop as part of its commitment to helping businesses strengthen their security. There’s no obligation to purchase anything afterward.
No. We use Microsoft Purview tools to scan for sensitive data and risks, but this scanning looks for patterns and metadata – not the actual contents of your files or emails. All analysis runs within your Microsoft 365 tenant, and results are presented in an aggregated way. Your data remains private and secure.
We’ll need temporary administrator-level access to your Microsoft 365 environment to run the automated discovery tools. This access is strictly read-only and removed immediately after the engagement. We follow your internal security policies and sign an NDA for added assurance.
No. The scans and analyses are read-only and designed to be low impact. We don’t make changes to your configuration during the assessment. Users won’t notice any difference, and we can schedule any heavier tasks for off-peak hours if needed.
No problem. If advanced features are needed, we can activate a free trial in your tenant specifically for the workshop. You won’t be charged, and you can turn off the trial features after the workshop if you choose not to upgrade.
You’ll receive a Data Security Risk Report and a set of Recommendations/Roadmap. You can implement the recommendations with your internal team or engage us for support – it’s entirely your choice. All access and tools used during the workshop are removed.
Typically, we need:
- An IT lead or Microsoft 365 admin
- A project sponsor or decision-maker (e.g. CIO, Compliance Officer)
- Optionally, someone from your compliance or data protection team
We aim to minimise your effort and adapt to your team’s size and availability
If we uncover a serious vulnerability or compliance gap, we’ll bring it to your attention discreetly and help you plan a fix. All findings are confidential and for your eyes only. Identifying issues early is a positive outcome – it means you can address them before they cause damage.
The workshop typically unfolds over 2 to 3 weeks, with around 3–5 hours of your time required across the engagement. We handle the heavy analysis and adapt to your schedule.
Absolutely. The workshop is designed for organisations of all sizes. We tailor our recommendations to your scale and make sure the process is simple and impactful. Small businesses often benefit the most from this expert guidance.
