Assessments: CIS, Copilot Readiness and Zero Trust for M365
Your next Microsoft upgrade is already in your book. Every tenant in it is paying for features nobody has switched on. Softspend scores a tenant against the framework you choose, scoped to what it is already licensed for, so configuration work separates cleanly from the licensing gap and both carry a cost.
Frameworks covered
- CIS Benchmark for Microsoft 365. Benchmark a tenant against CIS hardening guidance, feature by feature, with the licence each one needs and what it costs to close the gap.
- Microsoft Copilot Readiness. Score readiness to deploy Copilot safely across identity, data protection, compliance and AI governance, and price the licences before they are assigned.
- Zero Trust, on the roadmap. Identity, devices, apps, data, network and infrastructure against Microsoft's Zero Trust pillars, with the suite that covers each pillar and the cost of the gap.
What partners get
- Where they stand. The tier against the framework, and how far the licence they already own can take them.
- What to switch on now, inside the licence they already hold, with no new spend.
- What to buy, if anything. The optimised bundle that reaches the target, priced per seat with current promotions applied.
- What Microsoft will fund. Structured to meet MCI requirements, so the advisory work can be put forward for Microsoft funding rather than billed to the client.
How access works
Softspend reads a tenant through delegated Graph access with GDAP and writes nothing back. It cannot change a policy, a licence assignment or a configuration. Deployment stays with the partner and the tooling they already run.
