Evidence to decision flow

Context received

The agreed workload boundary, approved inventory exports, and read-only administrative evidence.

Evidence reviewed

Simplicity IT analyzes the in-scope evidence against the documented service questions. Production activity remains read-only.

Your decision

A named customer owner reviews findings, priorities, dependencies, and any proposed next step before production work is scoped.

Evidence retained

The agreed report, decision log, and handoff record are retained according to the customer agreement. Customer content is not reused for marketing.

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.

Scope and boundaries

  • 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.

Microsoft technologies in scope

  • Microsoft Purview
  • Microsoft Entra
  • Microsoft 365
