Two ways to engage.
One standard of independence.

InquilionGRC offers standing assurance for organisations that want ongoing independent oversight. Transaction assurance serves PE houses that need configuration evidence on a deal timeline. Both are built on the same methodology, the same sixteen governance domains and the same commitment to independence from delivery. No prices are shown here because every engagement is scoped to the organisation. A briefing is the right starting point.

The named engagements.

Board Review

The entry assessment. Scope is agreed, read-only access is granted, the assessment runs and three reports are delivered to the board.

Board Assurance

The standing annual engagement. The same evidence is produced on a cycle and accumulates into a governance record.

The value case

The honest answer to the ROI question.

Standing assurance that starts with a clear picture and builds.

Standing assurance is how most organisations engage. It provides ongoing, independent oversight of Microsoft 365 configuration, aligned to the board's reporting cadence. The value is in the continuity: not a single snapshot, but a governance record that builds over time.

Every engagement begins with a Board Review, the named entry assessment. It is the foundation of the assurance: a complete governance position across sixteen governance domains, establishing the starting point against which all future assessments are measured. Without it there is nothing to trend against, nothing to compare and no evidence of progress.

From the baseline, standing assurance continues at a cadence matched to the board's reporting cycle, typically monthly or quarterly. Each cycle produces a fresh governance position showing whether posture is improving, stable or deteriorating, and a cumulative findings tracker shows remediation progress across all periods. Over time, the board builds a governance record that demonstrates active, evidenced oversight. Every cycle produces the same three deliverables, delivered to the board: the Board Governance Report, Risk Report and Compliance Report.

How the service runs

01 · Baseline
A complete governance assessment across sixteen governance domains. The board sees its starting position. Material findings are identified and framed as actions for management. This is the first deliverable of the service, not a separate engagement.
02 · Management responds
The board oversees remediation through its existing governance structures. InquilionGRC does not remediate. Independence requires separation from delivery. The Compliance Report gives management the context to scope and commission the work.
03 · Standing assurance
Each subsequent cycle builds on the baseline. The board sees trend, progress and any new findings. Configuration risk becomes a standing item on the board's agenda. Discontinuing the service means losing the governance record and the trend history.

Common reasons organisations start

No independent evidence exists
The board has never received independent evidence on how Microsoft 365 is configured, or a new NED, trustee or audit committee member wants to understand current risk.
External pressure requires it
A regulator or auditor has asked about digital governance controls, or cyber insurance renewal requires evidence of configuration posture.
Oversight is overdue
The organisation has experienced an incident and wants ongoing oversight, or IT is outsourced and the board wants independent visibility of the MSP's work.

Assurance on a deal timeline.

Transaction assurance is a standalone assessment for PE houses. It provides independent evidence of Microsoft 365 configuration risk in a target or portfolio organisation, structured for investment committee review and aligned to the deal timeline. Findings are framed for due diligence, deal terms, warranties and post-completion remediation planning, with every portfolio company assessed against the same governance benchmarks.

Engagement is per assessment. One target, one assessment, one engagement, one cost. There is no subscription, no retainer and no ongoing commitment. If the portfolio company subsequently wants standing oversight, the assessment carries forward as the baseline for standing assurance. That is a separate decision, made by the portfolio company board, at a later date. How InquilionGRC works with PE houses covers the full lifecycle.

Common triggers

Pre-acquisition
Due diligence on a target's Microsoft 365 environment, in time to inform deal terms and warranties.
Post-acquisition
A governance baseline for a new portfolio company, carried into the first board cycle.
Portfolio standardisation
Comparable configuration risk positions across multiple holdings in a single view.
Vendor preparation
Independent evidence assembled ahead of a disposal or exit, before the buyer's diligence asks for it.
