Evidence where previously
there was assumption.

Microsoft 365 faces the internet.
InquilionGRC gives the board independent evidence of how it actually stands.
The evidence insurers, regulators and shareholders now expect.

01

THE UNKNOWN

Microsoft 365 is managed, but rarely assured independently. Often, the people who run it mark their own homework, and the board takes the answers at face value without knowing how to push back.

02

THE EVIDENCE

An independent evidence-based assessment across sixteen governance domains. No assumption, only what is configured.

03

THREE REPORTS, BOARD OWNED

Governance, Risk and Compliance reports that go to the board, with direction on how to act on the findings.

04

CONTINUOUS ASSURANCE

Assurance against your sector regulatory obligations, GDPR and Cyber Essentials. Assurance the board can show to insurers, regulators and shareholders.

When the servers sat in a room down the corridor, a failure stayed in the building.

The blast radius was the office.

Microsoft 365 places identity, access and every document in the cloud, where one misconfiguration is exposed to the entire internet and a single compromised account reaches everything.

The blast radius is now the business.

The risk has moved. For many boards, the oversight has not.

You cannot govern cloud risk with a 1997 operating model.

The risk nobody put on the agenda.

It arrived
as office software.

Microsoft 365 came in as email and documents and became the operating fabric: identity, access, collaboration and data. The technology moved from the server room to the cloud. In many boardrooms, the oversight never made the move.

Everyone runs it,
nobody examines it.

IT operates it. The MSP supports it. Compliance touches it for data and records. Audit samples it once a year. Only delivery was ever delegated. Responsibility never left the board.

The examiners
have arrived.

Cyber insurers now question configuration at every renewal, and the answers are attested, not evidenced. Regulators expect operational resilience to be demonstrated, not asserted. When it fails, shareholders ask what the board knew, not what IT did. The scrutiny has arrived before the oversight.

Three questions only your board can answer.

01

If Microsoft 365 fails, the board answers for it. What evidence have you actually seen that it is set up properly?

02

The people who tell you it is fine are the people who run it. The IT team, the MSP. Who checks their work?

03

You pay for independent eyes on the accounts. Who has independent eyes on the system that touches every part of your business?

InquilionGRC is the assurance layer your governance is missing.

An independent, evidence-based assessment of how Microsoft 365 is actually configured, run against the tenant itself, never against management's account of it. The findings arrive in plain English as three board-owned reports: Governance, Risk and Compliance. Together they give the board continuous evidence of how its controls are operating, and the structure to delegate remediation properly and oversee it to completion. Each cycle adds to a standing record. When insurers, regulators or shareholders ask, the board answers with evidence. Access is read-only and yours to revoke at any moment, and there is no conflict with your IT team or your MSP, because InquilionGRC does not operate, supply or remediate anything it examines. Independence is the product.

Independent assurance for the board. Practical deliverables for everyone who needs to respond.

Primary deliverable · Governance

Board Governance Report

For: Board directors, NEDs, trustees, audit committee members

The assurance itself. Translates Microsoft 365 configuration into governance language across sixteen governance domains. RAG-rated with board challenge questions, prioritised actions and an evidence statement. Designed to be read, challenged and acted upon by any director with no technical background. This is the report that goes into the board pack. It is the independent evidence that the board is governing configuration risk.

Supporting deliverable · Risk

Risk Report

For the board to share with: CFOs, COOs, risk committees, compliance officers

Helps the organisation integrate the assurance findings into its risk management framework. Each governance finding is mapped to risk impact, likelihood, control effectiveness and residual risk. Gives the risk owner what they need to update the risk register without interpretation or translation.

Supporting deliverable · Compliance

Compliance Report

For the board to share with: CTOs, IT directors, heads of IT, compliance officers, managed service providers

Helps disparate business units or third-party suppliers, e.g. MSPs, act on the findings under board direction. Identifies what needs addressing, in which domain, at what priority, with enough technical context to scope and commission remediation. InquilionGRC does not direct how to remediate. It identifies what the board expects management to address and provides the operational context to make that actionable.

The evidence begins with a briefing.

If your board has not yet received independent evidence on how Microsoft 365 is configured, a briefing is the right first step.

The return shows up as a smoother renewal, a cleaner audit, a defensible board minute and a data room that does not cost value at exit.
