Services · Data Governance

Know where your data lives.
Prove it to anyone who asks.

Data governance isn't bureaucracy — it's the foundation that makes AI safe, compliance achievable, and breach response manageable. Powered by Microsoft Purview.

Our approach

You can't protect what you can't see

Most businesses are sitting on years of unclassified data scattered across SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, email, and shared drives. Nobody knows exactly where the sensitive stuff is — until a regulator or a breach makes it urgent.

We use Microsoft Purview to map and classify your data, build the policies that govern who can access it and where it can go, and put the retention schedules in place that meet your legal obligations. The result: a clear, defensible picture of your data footprint.

Regulatory frameworks we address

  • PA
    Privacy Act 1988 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) — data handling obligations for personal information.
  • NDB
    Notifiable Data Breaches Detection, assessment, and notification obligations when eligible data breaches occur.
  • AI
    Voluntary AI Safety Standard Governance requirements for organisations deploying AI — classify your data before AI touches it.
What we deliver

Governance from discovery to reporting

Data Discovery — Microsoft Purview

Scan your Microsoft 365 environment to find where personal, sensitive, and confidential information lives across SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Exchange, and connected services.

Classification & Sensitivity Labels

Apply sensitivity labels — manually or through auto-classification policies — so your team knows what's confidential and Microsoft 365 enforces the right protections automatically.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Policies that stop sensitive information from leaving your organisation via email, Teams, or cloud upload — without blocking legitimate work.

Retention & Records Management

Compliant retention schedules for business records — delete what you should, keep what you must, and prove it with an auditable policy trail.

Privacy Act Readiness Assessment

A structured review of your data handling practices against the Australian Privacy Principles — with a prioritised remediation roadmap and plain-English board summary.

Audit Trail & Compliance Reporting

Full audit logs and Purview compliance reports — so a regulatory enquiry, insurance claim, or board question gets a fast, credible answer.
