## Frequently asked questions

**What’s the difference between governance and compliance?**  
Governance is the strategic framework that ensures information is well managed, accurate, secure, and usable. Compliance ensures your organisation meets legal and regulatory requirements. Good governance enables compliance — not the other way around.

**Does this cover technical security or just policies?**  
We cover both. Our services bridge technical controls (e.g. permissions, labelling, sharing rules) with governance frameworks, user behaviours, and operational practices — ensuring security is embedded, not bolted on.

**Can you audit our Microsoft 365 environment?**  
Yes. We provide detailed assessments of your information architecture, permissions, security configurations, sharing behaviours, and compliance controls across SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Exchange, and Entra ID.

**How do you help us meet regulations like GDPR or FOI?**  
We align Microsoft Purview tools, data classification models, retention policies, and access controls with your specific obligations — enabling defensible compliance and improved audit readiness.

**Is this only for large organisations or regulated sectors?**  
No — all organisations need good governance. Whether you're a housing provider, law firm, public body, or commercial business, we tailor the scope and approach to fit your environment and risk profile.

**Do our users need to be involved in the governance process?**  
Yes. Governance works best when supported by clear communication, adoption strategies, and role-based accountability. We support your teams with training, champions, and documentation to bring it to life.

**Can this be delivered as part of a subscription model?**  
Absolutely. Our Information Management as a Service (IMaaS) offering provides continuous oversight, reviews, improvements, and support — ensuring your governance evolves with your organisation.
