How we describe our work
Most technology suppliers publish figures without saying where they came from. We label every piece of work on this site as one of three things, so you can tell which one you are reading before you decide what it is worth.
Customer evidence
A named customer outcome, published with that customer's written permission.
Reference implementation
Something Simplicity IT built and runs. It is our own environment, not a customer's.
Blueprint
A designed approach we are ready to deliver. It has not yet been deployed for a customer.

Simplicity IT specialists work alongside the customer's business and technical owners to turn a bounded workflow into a governed, supported production service. The controls are Microsoft's own, and there is a human approval point before anything takes effect in production.
AI Workflow Blueprint
A bounded design for one workflow: owners, boundary, approval point, and what production readiness would mean.
Microsoft AI Security and Controls Assessment
A review of Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Purview, Microsoft Defender, Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Foundry against the AI use you already have or are planning.
Governed Workflow Implementation
Building the workflow inside your tenant to the agreed boundary, with the approval point enforced and the handover written.
Managed AI Operations
Continuing operation of a delivered workflow. Available after launch.
AI Adoption and Operating Charter
The written operating rules for AI use: who may build, what needs review, and how an agent gets an owner.

Understand Microsoft Agent 365 as an AI agent control plane. Review ownership, licensing, permissions and governance before rollout.
Read Article →The AI Security Harness
AI without governance is shadow IT at machine speed. We implement Microsoft’s Security for AI approach across four phases:
Discover
We inventory AI apps, agents, and interactions across your configured Microsoft signals, and where deeper network reach is required, our integrated Zero Trust edge extends discovery to additional devices and traffic paths, feeding the same governance process.
Protect
We configure Purview DLP for supported prompts, responses, and uploads, plus Defender and Entra controls where your licensing and platforms support them. Coverage is documented in an explicit matrix, not assumed.
Govern
We deploy Agent 365 as your agent control plane: registered ownership, least-privilege access by agent type, and evidence mapped to the NIST AI RMF outcomes you select.
Operate
Our engineers run the stack to your contracted support tier: monitoring agent behavior, managing lifecycle, and keeping your evidence current for examiners.
