AI READINESS

Who It’s For

This assessment is built for IT leaders, governance owners, and Microsoft 365 administrators who are preparing to roll out Microsoft Copilot or other AI tools and want to reduce risk before enabling them across the organization.

  • Organizations planning a Microsoft Copilot pilot or rollout
  • IT and security teams responsible for Microsoft 365 governance
  • Leaders concerned about data oversharing and permission sprawl
  • Teams that need an acceptable-use policy before AI adoption

Problems It Solves

AI tools surface whatever content a user already has access to — so weak permissions, oversharing, and missing policy become bigger risks the moment Copilot is enabled. This assessment identifies those gaps first.

  • Oversharing and broad access that Copilot could expose
  • No acceptable-use or data-handling policy for AI
  • Unclear ownership of sites, content, and sensitive data
  • Uncertainty about whether the environment is ready for AI at all

What PPS Reviews

  • Microsoft 365 permission and external-sharing posture
  • SharePoint and OneDrive content exposure and oversharing risk
  • Sensitivity labeling, retention, and data-handling readiness
  • Existing governance policies and gaps relevant to AI
  • Copilot acceptable-use and rollout policy needs
  • Stakeholder roles, ownership, and decision-making for AI adoption

Deliverables

  • AI & Copilot readiness summary with a clear go / not-yet recommendation
  • Prioritized governance gap memo with recommended remediation steps
  • Oversharing and permissions risk snapshot
  • Draft Copilot acceptable-use policy template
  • Rollout readiness checklist and next-step roadmap

Timeline

Most engagements are completed in two to three weeks, depending on environment size and stakeholder availability. Every engagement is fixed-scope with defined deliverables — no hourly billing or open-ended retainers.

Featured Readiness Focus

Available Through Microsoft 365 Governance Assessment

AI and Copilot readiness is available as a featured readiness focus through PPS Microsoft 365 governance work, especially relevant for organizations preparing for Microsoft Copilot adoption. Rather than a separate package, it is delivered as part of a Microsoft 365 Governance Assessment — reviewing permissions, ownership, content quality, lifecycle controls, and readiness gaps before adoption. Final scope is confirmed during a short fit review.
