Service estimate

Estimated service fee: USD 18,500. Final scope and fees are confirmed in the statement of work before delivery. Microsoft licenses and consumption are separate.

What this assessment gives you

  • A data-governance and classification baseline.
  • A control and ownership gap analysis.
  • A prioritized remediation decision record.
  • A roadmap for implementation under customer change control.

Scope and boundaries

Three weeks to assess the agreed tenant boundary for classification, labels, DLP, retention, records, audit and oversharing, with any simulation explicitly scoped.

Publishing or enforcing policies and cleaning up content are excluded. iboss integration testing is a specialist workstream and does not repeat the same tenant data-governance assessment.

  • No production configuration changes are included in an assessment.
  • No license purchase, legal opinion, penetration test, custom software build, or product subscription is included.
  • Follow-on implementation and managed operations require a separate approved scope.
  • Findings depend on the access, inventory, and evidence made available during the engagement.

Your approval before production changes

The assessment does not make production changes. A named customer owner reviews the findings, priorities, dependencies, and proposed next step before any follow-on work is scoped or performed.

How the engagement runs

  1. Week 1: Discover

    Confirm the data domains, owners, obligations, and available evidence.

  2. Week 2: Assess

    Review classification, policy, audit, and lifecycle-control design.

  3. Week 3: Decide

    Deliver findings, target-state choices, and a customer-owned backlog.
