Simplifies complex tasks in the management of Microsoft 365 tenancies, freeing up resources and reducing operational costs.

Cloud assist helps IT departments understand and manage endpoint data, updating policies and ensuring compliance within their Microsoft 365 environments. It increases team efficiency and productivity, speeds up Cyber Essentials accreditation and makes reporting straightforward.

Cloud assist is available as a free version and a paid version.

Cloud assist (free)

Our cloud assist free service allows users to perform a comprehensive Microsoft 365 health check. This provides actionable insights to optimise licensing, email security (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), Teams, Power Platform, and alignment with Microsoft and Jisc cloud best practices.
