What does the AI Readiness Assessment cover?

Our assessment evaluates five key dimensions: Technical Infrastructure (Microsoft 365 licence tier, Entra ID health, device compliance), Data Governance (sensitivity labels, permissions hygiene, retention policies), Security & Compliance (MFA coverage, conditional access, DLP policies), Organisational Readiness (executive sponsorship, change management capability), and Use-Case Alignment (which Copilot features will deliver the most value for your roles and workflows).

Is the AI Readiness Assessment free?

Yes — the self-assessment tool on this page is completely free to use. If you'd like a deeper consultant-led assessment with a written report and remediation roadmap, contact our team for a no-obligation conversation.

How long does the assessment take?

The self-assessment takes approximately 10–15 minutes. Each question comes with guidance to help you answer accurately. At the end you receive a readiness score (0–100) with a breakdown by category and a prioritised list of actions.

What score do I need to deploy Microsoft 365 Copilot?

There's no hard minimum, but organisations scoring above 65 typically deploy with minimal friction. Scores between 40–65 indicate important gaps to address (usually around permissions and data classification) before full rollout. Our team can help you close those gaps rapidly — most organisations achieve deployment-ready status within 4–8 weeks of starting remediation.
