Operating Model
How it works.
Sprint first. Retainer second. Compliance owned.
1
The sprint
Every engagement starts with a fixed-scope sprint - typically 2–6 weeks. The sprint does three things:
1Assesses your current Microsoft 365 compliance posture
2Closes the immediate gaps (controls enforced, evidence produced)
3Shows you exactly what ongoing operations should look like
2
The conversion
After the sprint, you'll have a clear picture:
What controls are enforced
What evidence is being produced
What gaps remain
What will drift without ongoing operations
Most clients see the same thing: maintaining compliance posture requires someone to own it month-to-month.
3
The retainer
Microsoft 365 Compliance Operations Retainer
The retainer is ongoing ownership. We:
Monitor your controls
Produce your evidence
Detect drift
Manage changes
Answer questionnaires
Keep you audit-ready - continuously
You stop managing compliance. We start operating it.
What this is not.
This is not infrastructure management.
We do not manage your infrastructure, support your users, or handle your helpdesk.
This is not advisory.
This is implementation and operation, not a reporting-only engagement.
This is not project-based.
Sprints are fixed-scope entry points. The real product is ongoing operations.
This is specialist and senior-led.
Control ownership, evidence production, and audit support stay with the people doing the work.
