We’ll spend the first few weeks configuring the Microsoft 365 compliance platform to discover and collect data signals in your environment to provide live data for analysis.

You’ll gain visibility into immediate compliance and vulnerabilities across identity systems, email, and data, plus clarity and support on how to improve your compliance posture for the long term.
