01
Reduce repetitive work
Assess document processing, reporting, and follow-up tasks for automation. Keep human approval where a decision or change needs review.
Governed AI implementation
Put AI agents to work inside your systems, with defined authority.
We review how Copilot and agents reach company information, which actions they can take, and where a person must approve. Then we build or adjust the integrations, permissions, and operating controls your team needs to run them.
Hands-on engineering for AI systems your team can operate.
Choose a step to see how we help and what you receive.
Illustrative workflow
Understand the work before choosing AI.
Map how work gets done, where time is lost, and which systems and data are involved.
- What you receive
- A map of your existing systems and an agreed business problem.
Access, approvals, and ownership defined throughout.

Where AI can help
Start with the work your team does every day.
Identify repetitive tasks, hard-to-find information, and disconnected applications. Evaluate where AI fits before choosing a tool.
02
Find useful information
Build search and assistants around company knowledge. Respect source permissions so staff can access the information they are authorized to use.
03
Connect existing applications
Integrate AI with business systems through controlled interfaces. Define what it can read or change, and test how it handles failures.
Governed AI Engineering
Record the authority.
Then build the controls.
Platform settings show what an agent can do. We also help define who authorized its purpose, what it may and may not do, who owns that decision, and when it must be reviewed.
Explore AI architecture and implementation01Identity + authorization
Map the agent identity, delegated or application access, connected tools, and permissions to the actions approved in the authorization record.
02Security + data boundaries
Define the information and systems in scope, then test access limits and actions the agent must be blocked from taking.
03Ownership + lifecycle
Name who approves the agent’s purpose and who maintains it. Set review conditions for ownership changes, scope changes, or removal.
04Evidence + review
Keep the authorization decision with its approval, test results, and records showing what the system did. For schedules and agent chains, record the trigger or combined scope too.
Core engagements
AI assessment, implementation, and remediation.
Review AI already in use, design and build a new AI agent, or fix the access and control issues found in an assessment.
Choose an engagement to see the work and deliverables. Hover, tap, or use the arrow keys.
Build the access path along with the agent.
Governed AI Architecture & Implementation
Design and build an AI agent for an agreed task. Record its approved purpose, scope, accountable owner, and review conditions, then configure and test the system controls.
What you leave with
- A system map and design showing identity, data, and tool paths
- An authorization record and build plan with approved actions, prohibitions, approval points, owner, and dependencies
- Working integrations, results from allowed and blocked action tests, and operating instructions
Compare configured access with intended use.
AI Governance Assessment
Review AI tools and agents against their actual permissions, connected data, owners, release practices, and activity records. Receive prioritized findings and a technical remediation plan.
What you leave with
- Findings for company leaders, with the most important issues first
- A map of technical safeguards and the observations behind each finding
- Priorities for fixes and an agreed next step
Record identity, authority, and how access ends.
Agent Governance & Authorization
Record each agent’s approved purpose, permitted and prohibited actions, accountable owner, identity, approval conditions, and review triggers. Map that decision to delegated or application access and a tested removal process.
What you leave with
- A signed or approved record of each agent’s purpose, scope, prohibitions, decision authority, and review conditions
- Configured safeguards and test cases
- Responsibilities for reviewing, changing, and removing agent access
Trace permissions from content to agent action.
Microsoft AI Governance
Trace a defined workload through Copilot content permissions, Copilot Studio authentication, Entra agent identity, Purview evidence, and Power Platform environments. Record the organizational authorization separately from product configuration.
What you leave with
- A workload map connecting organizational authorization to Microsoft identities, data, tools, and evidence
- Prioritized configuration changes and verification results
- An authorization record with named approval and operating owners, review conditions, and records to retain
Expose approved business actions through a controlled interface.
AI Integration & Legacy Modernization
Connect AI to older applications through APIs that check identity and permissions, expose approved operations, record activity, and handle failures.
What you leave with
- Integration and modernization plan
- Tested system connections and working workflows
- Migration, recovery, and maintenance guidance
Keep the application and release path maintainable.
Platform Engineering & Technical Operations
Build and maintain Next.js applications, integrations, and release processes. Document deployment, routine operations, and recovery so the platform can be handed over clearly.
What you leave with
- Working platform and integration changes
- Deployment and recovery documentation
- An agreed technical operations scope
Turn findings into working controls.
Governance Remediation & Implementation
Fix the access, identity, activity records, and ongoing management issues found in an assessment. Test the changes and document remaining risks.
What you leave with
- Completed changes and test results
- An updated map of safeguards and instructions for running the system
- Remaining risks and a handover plan

Where does the work sit?
Choose the closest fit. Your team may use more than one type of system.
Agent governance + authorization
Every agent needs
a defined authority.
An AI agent can use tools to carry out tasks. Before letting it act on its own, define who is responsible, what it can access, and when a person must approve.
See the authorization path01Who owns this agent?
02Which identity does it use?
03What can it read or change?
04What requires approval?
05How is access reviewed and retired?
Microsoft AI specialization
Deploy Microsoft AI.
Define who can access what.
Plan how staff will use Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Studio agents. Review information access, permitted actions, and who manages them. Assess Microsoft Entra and Purview controls for the planned work.

Agent authorization
The agent has an owner. Does its schedule?
A trigger can keep acting after its original decision-maker leaves. Record who approved unattended runs, why they exist, and when they must be reviewed.
