Why organizations ask this question

Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace often become the center of identity, email, files, records, meetings, workflow, search, compliance, and AI. That concentration makes it hard to understand which workloads are still appropriate, which should be governed more tightly, and which should move toward data-resident alternatives.

What DCS looks for

  • Tenant data-location evidence and policy settings.
  • Privileged administrators, standing access, groups, roles, service accounts, and OAuth grants.
  • Mailboxes, sites, drives, shared links, external sharing, records policies, retention, and export readiness.
  • Copilot, Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI exposure through prompts, connectors, logs, retrieval, and usage patterns.
  • License utilization, premium-feature dependency, cloud waste, storage growth, and token-spend signals.

What the buyer gets

The DCS assessment produces an executive report, evidence register, residency and control heat map, cost and AI exposure model, and a 30/60/90-day roadmap for coexistence, pilot, migration, and managed operations.
