Review sessions provide tailored insights, the latest Microsoft 365 updates, and practical recommendations to help organisations stay competitive and get the most from their Microsoft 365 investment.
Prices are available on request and depend on organisation size.
All support is delivered by trained staff experienced in Microsoft 365. - Support available to third parties

Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
- We provide comprehensive onboarding support to ensure successful adoption. This includes face to face and online training sessions tailored for end-users and administrators, step-by-step user documentation, and quick-start guides for configuration and governance. We also offer change management support and optional face to face and virtual workshops to build confidence in using Copilot effectively. Our approach focuses on practical, role-based enablement so users can immediately apply Copilot features to everyday tasks.
- Service documentation
- Yes
- Documentation formats
- End-of-contract data extraction
- All customer data remains within the Microsoft 365 tenant and under the organisation’s control throughout the contract. When the contract ends, users can extract data using standard Microsoft 365 tools such as Microsoft Graph API, Power Platform connectors, and export features in Microsoft 365 apps (e.g., Excel, SharePoint, Teams). We provide guidance and documentation to support secure data export and ensure compliance with organisational policies. No proprietary data is stored outside the customer’s Microsoft environment, so extraction does not require additional tools or charges.
- End-of-contract process
- At the end of the contract, all data and configuration remain within your Microsoft 365 tenant. iThink 365 does not store your data, so ownership and control stay with you. We follow a structured offboarding process to ensure a smooth transition, including confirming administrative roles and providing guidance on exporting any reports or documentation created during the enablement phase. A handover session and configuration summary are included in the contract price. Additional costs apply if extended support or hands‑on extraction is required. Our goal is to make the process simple, secure, and aligned with your governance requirements.

- Description of customisation
- Users can customise SmartFlo by defining document templates, branding, and structured sections to align with organisational processes and styles. Configuration is performed through the SmartFlo interface using built‑in tools, where authorised users select templates and determine how meeting content is structured in outputs. End users can influence document outputs by participating in meetings and selecting relevant sections or actions, but cannot modify templates or configuration settings. All configuration and generated content operates within the customer’s Microsoft 365 environment, inheriting Microsoft’s security, governance, and data residency controls.
Scaling
- Independence of resources
- Our service runs entirely within Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure, which is designed for multi-tenant scalability and high availability. Microsoft 365 and Power Platform services use elastic scaling and load balancing to ensure consistent performance regardless of demand. Each customer’s data and configuration remain isolated within their own tenant, so usage spikes from other organisations do not impact your environment. Microsoft’s global datacentres provide geo-redundancy and automated failover, and service-level agreements (SLAs) guarantee uptime and responsiveness. Continuous monitoring and proactive resource management further ensure that performance remains stable under varying workloads.

- Information security policies and processes
- The service follows Microsoft 365’s comprehensive information security policies and processes, aligned with public sector security standards. These cover access control, data protection, incident management, change management, and monitoring. Reporting structure: Security responsibilities are defined across organisational and technical teams. A designated Security Officer oversees compliance, reporting directly to senior management. All incidents are logged, escalated, and reviewed according to severity, with documented mitigation steps. Policy enforcement: Access is controlled using role-based permissions and multi-factor authentication. Users are required to follow security best practices, while administrative and operational activity is monitored through audit logs. Regular training ensures staff understand and adhere to policies. Security reviews, internal audits, and automated monitoring help maintain compliance. Incident response: Any suspected breaches trigger immediate investigation and reporting, following a formal escalation process. Lessons learned are applied to update policies, configurations, and controls. This structured approach ensures that the service maintains data confidentiality, integrity, and availability, while providing public sector organisations with clear visibility of security governance and adherence to recognised standards.

Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Configuration and change management approach
- The service follows formal configuration and change management processes aligned with recognised standards (CSA CCM v4.0, SSAE-18/ISAE 3402). All components, including workflows, APIs, integrations, and infrastructure, are tracked through their lifecycle with version control and documented histories. Proposed changes are assessed for security and operational impact, tested in a controlled environment, and approved by authorised personnel. Audit logs and monitoring tools track all changes, ensuring compliance and transparency. This approach maintains service stability, security, and reliability, allowing updates, enhancements, and patches to be deployed safely while providing public sector organisations with a fully auditable and controlled change process.
- Vulnerability management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Vulnerability management approach
- The service follows a structured vulnerability management process aligned with recognised standards (CSA CCM v4.0, SSAE-18/ISAE 3402). Potential threats are assessed through automated scans, internal security reviews, and threat intelligence from Microsoft Security, CERT-UK, and other recognised sources. Risks are prioritised by severity and impact on workflows, data, and integrations. Security patches are tested in a controlled environment and deployed promptly, with critical vulnerabilities addressed as quickly as possible. Continuous monitoring and audit logs ensure emerging threats are identified and remediated, maintaining service security, operational continuity, and compliance for public sector organisations.
- Protective monitoring type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Protective monitoring approach
- Identifying compromises: Continuous monitoring of workflows, APIs, system logs, and network activity detects anomalies, suspicious behaviour, or potential security breaches. Automated alerts and threat intelligence feeds from Microsoft Security and CERT-UK support rapid identification of risks. Responding to incidents: Once a potential compromise is detected, incidents are escalated according to severity. Investigation and containment measures are initiated immediately, including isolating affected components and applying mitigation steps. Response time: Critical incidents are addressed as quickly as possible, with formal incident reporting and post-incident review. Lessons learned inform updates to security controls and procedures.
- Incident management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Incident management approach

Pre-defined procedures cover common events, including service outages, security breaches, and workflow failures. Users report incidents via email or the online ticketing portal, with prioritisation based on severity. Incidents are logged, investigated, and escalated as needed, with containment and mitigation measures applied promptly. Users receive updates throughout the resolution process, including incident summaries and post-incident reports detailing causes, actions taken, and lessons learned. Continuous review ensures procedures are improved over time, maintaining operational continuity, transparency, and compliance while protecting public sector data and service reliability.
