## Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a Copilot readiness assessment?
A: A Copilot readiness assessment is a systematic evaluation of your Microsoft 365 environment to identify security gaps, permission issues, and compliance risks before deploying Microsoft 365 Copilot. It covers 12 critical areas including SharePoint permissions, sensitivity labels, DLP policies, retention schedules, Entra ID conditional access, and data classification.

Q: How long does a Microsoft Copilot deployment take?
A: Pilot deployments typically take 2-4 weeks for 50-100 users. Enterprise-wide rollouts range from 8-16 weeks depending on organization size and complexity. Our phased approach ensures security and governance are established before each deployment wave.

Q: What are the biggest risks of deploying Copilot without preparation?
A: The three biggest risks are: (1) Data oversharing - Copilot surfaces content based on existing permissions, exposing files users technically have access to but shouldn't see, (2) Compliance violations - AI-generated content may not comply with retention policies or regulatory requirements, (3) Shadow AI - users bypassing governance controls with unmanaged AI tools.

Q: What industries do you specialize in?
A: We specialize in regulated industries: healthcare (HIPAA), financial services (SOC 2), legal (attorney-client privilege), government (FedRAMP/GCC High), and manufacturing. Our compliance-first approach ensures regulatory requirements are met before and during Copilot deployment.

Q: How do you measure Copilot ROI?
A: We track time-to-task completion, meeting preparation efficiency, document creation speed, email processing time, and user satisfaction scores. We establish baselines before deployment and measure improvement across business-critical workflows, not vanity metrics like messages sent.
