Continuous compliance reviews and cloud governance, including Microsoft Purview information protection and DLP, extended to what AI tools like Copilot generate. I close the gap between what you run, what you must prove, and what you actually spend.
// HOW IT WORKS
Compliance, cloud governance, and information protection, mapped to what you actually run, not what the policy says.
I check whether what you actually run matches what you're required to prove, not just what the policy document says, because that gap is where audits get expensive and where real risk hides. Reviews map to the framework that applies to you: ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, or an industry standard, and adapt to whatever platform you run. Where Microsoft is in scope, that includes Purview compliance scoring, Entra ID access reviews, audit log retention, and Purview Information Protection: sensitivity labels and DLP policies that now also cover AI-produced content, so what Copilot and other AI tools generate gets classified and governed the same way as what a person writes.
On the governance side, I know SaaS sprawl doesn't happen through a big decision, it happens one credit-card signup at a time. I start by making that picture accurate: SaaS discovery and access review, cost governance across every cloud you run, and FinOps discipline that turns cloud spend from a surprise into a forecast. Where Microsoft 365 is part of your footprint, that includes Defender for Cloud Apps and Entra ID app governance.
You end up with a real inventory, a spending model you can defend, evidence you can hand to an auditor, and a process that catches the next unsanctioned app before it becomes the next incident.
