InquilionGRC provides independent, board-grade evidence of how Microsoft 365 is actually configured, not whether controls exist, but how they are operating.
Everyone who could tell the board about Microsoft 365 has a stake in the answer.
The IT team would be reporting on its own work. The MSP is paid to run the very thing it would be assessing. The data and compliance team works from policy and attestation, not configuration. The auditors look once a year, and rarely at how the platform is actually set up.
None of this is misconduct. It is structure. Nobody inside the delivery chain can hand the board independent evidence, however good they are.
InquilionGRC stands outside the chain. We do not run your environment. We do not advise on it. We do not fix what we find. We examine, and we report to the board.
Separation is not a limitation. It is the foundation of the assurance.
Microsoft 365 is an ecosystem, not an application. InquilionGRC assesses governance across fourteen Microsoft 365 domains covering that entire surface, and two further Azure domains where they are in scope, each translated from technical configuration into language any director can read, challenge and act on.
Who can access the tenant and how they are verified. Accounts, MFA, conditional access and privileged identity.
How sensitive data is classified and protected. Sensitivity labels, DLP and encryption.
Whether devices are managed, compliant and encrypted. Intune enrolment and compliance policies.
Whether email can be spoofed or intercepted. Anti-phishing, transport rules and SPF, DKIM and DMARC.
Whether records are retained as regulators require. Retention policies, records management and retention labels.
Whether insider risk and market abuse indicators are monitored. Communication compliance and insider risk policies.
Whether activity is logged and retained for audit. Unified audit log, eDiscovery and log retention.
How data is shared with external parties and applications. External sharing, guest access and app consent.
Where data is stored geographically. Tenant geography, multi-geo and data location controls.
Which automations, flows and connectors are active, what data they can reach and whether they are governed in line with the board's risk appetite.
How the tenant connects to external systems, third-party applications and partner environments, and whether those connections are approved and monitored.
How Power BI is governed and whether data can leave the tenant through it.
How Teams meetings, messaging and voice are configured against external abuse.
Whether the tenant is safe to switch Microsoft 365 Copilot on.
How the Azure estate is configured and how Blob storage is configured. Reported only where Azure is in scope.
How the Defender estate is configured, monitored and governed.
The boundary covers the controls: identity, email, documents, collaboration and automation. The assessment reads configuration, never content.
Every assessment uses read-only access. InquilionGRC changes nothing, remediates nothing and interferes with nothing. Independence from delivery is absolute.
Domains and checks evolve with the platform and the regulatory landscape.
Every report states exactly what was assessed.
Findings are framed as actions for management. If we fixed what we found, we could no longer independently assure it.
We assess configuration against governance expectations. Advisory and assurance cannot coexist without compromising independence.
InquilionGRC provides the independent configuration evidence that auditors can reference but rarely produce themselves.
No administrative access, no ongoing presence, no commercial dependency on your IT decisions.
Accountable for oversight.
Receives independent evidence.
Challenges and directs management on findings.
Assesses configuration against governance expectations.
Independent of the delivery chain.
Reports to the board.
Responsible for delivery.
Runs Microsoft 365 through the IT team or MSP.
Responds to board direction.
Oversight cannot be delegated to those responsible for delivery.
Technical configuration is converted into plain-language governance summaries. Each domain receives a Red, Amber or Green status. Findings are framed as actions for management, never as technical instructions. A new NED, trustee, auditor, insurer, regulator or shareholder can pick up any InquilionGRC report and understand the position from first principles, because governance documents circulate and must stand on their own.
Overall and domain-level assurance status across every domain in scope. Material findings as board actions. Trend against the governance baseline. Defined scope, benchmarks, exclusions and the basis of independence.
Board and audit committee review. Insurance renewal and claims evidence. Regulatory scrutiny. Due diligence and transaction oversight. External audit reference.
A briefing takes thirty minutes and commits you to nothing.
