What we do
Assurance across your IT estate
From a focused review of a single Microsoft 365 tenant to ongoing assurance over a major change programme.
Cloud & Microsoft 365 review
Reviews of Azure and Microsoft 365 against Microsoft best practice: the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF), Azure landing zones and the Microsoft cloud security benchmark.
Compliance readiness
Get ready for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification, or ISO/IEC 27001, with a gap analysis and a practical remediation plan.
Identity & access assurance
Assurance over Microsoft Entra ID, privileged access, Conditional Access and joiner-mover-leaver processes, the controls most breaches start with.
Project & design assurance
Independent design authority for change programmes. We check designs against NCSC secure design principles and architecture patterns, and that what's built matches what was designed.
Third-party & supplier assurance
Due diligence on the suppliers and managed service providers you depend on, so you know the risk you're inheriting.
Why Assuredence
Assurance from people who've built it
Many assurance reports are written by people who've never had to deliver the fix. Ours are written by architects who have designed and built secure platforms for defence, central government and regulated industry.
- Independent. No products to sell and no remediation upsell built into the findings.
- Evidence-based. Every finding is backed by what we observed, not by a questionnaire.
- Prioritised. Findings ranked by risk, with a realistic plan your team can act on.
- Readable. A summary the board can act on and detail engineers can work from.
A typical review delivers
- Executive summary and overall assurance rating
- Findings mapped to NCSC CAF, NIST CSF 2.0 or Microsoft controls
- Risk-ranked remediation roadmap
- Technical appendix for your engineers
- Walkthrough session with your team
