Free assessments & tools
Know where you stand before you decide
Each assessment takes less than a day of your time and delivers a scored report you can take to leadership – with no obligation to do anything next.
A Smarter Path to Modern Work
Most organizations don’t need to solve everything at once.
The first step is understanding where your biggest risks, gaps, and opportunities exist – then improving one stage at a time.

Assessments
Shadow AI Discovery
AI risk · non-profits & professional services
Your team is already using AI tools. Find out which ones, what data they’re sharing, and what your real exposure is – before it becomes a governance problem.
• Anonymous employee survey
• Technical review of sign-in & traffic logs
• Risk-rated report with governance actions
Copilot Readiness Assessment
Microsoft 365 · AI deployment
Before you roll out Copilot, find out whether your Microsoft 365 environment is configured to handle it safely. We run Microsoft’s own tooling against your live tenant.
• 200+ configuration points reviewed
• Based on Microsoft’s own assessment framework
• Prioritized findings in plain language
Governance Gap Assessment
IT governance · policy & risk
Most organizations have the right tools. Very few have clearly defined policies for how those tools should be used. We find the gaps – before they become incidents.
• No network scans or technical testing required
• Covers AI use, access, incident response & more
• Board-ready scored report
Workflow Waste Calculator
Automation · operational efficiency
Manual processes are invisible on a balance sheet. The Workflow Waste Calculator puts real dollar figures next to the inefficiency – hours lost, annualized cost, and what’s fixable.
Hours lost per month by workflow & team
Annualized cost at your actual labour rates

Not every organization faces the same challenges. If you’re unsure where to start, we’ll help you identify the assessment that will provide the most value.
Moving our IT/security services to Third Octet has probably been my best decision so far.
