Secure Microsoft 365.
Automate Smarter.
Grow with Confidence.
Stygian helps UK businesses automate processes, strengthen Microsoft 365 security, govern Power Platform and adopt AI safely. Practical solutions. Measurable outcomes. Lasting value.
Get more value from Microsoft 365 without losing control
Many organisations already have Microsoft 365 but still rely on spreadsheets, email chains, manual approvals and inconsistent processes.
At the same time, Power Apps, Power Automate and AI can expand faster than ownership, security and governance controls.
Stygian helps you identify what should be improved first, implement practical solutions and establish the controls needed to manage them properly.
Manual processes are slowing the business
Approvals, requests, onboarding, document handling and reporting still depend on spreadsheets, inboxes and repeated chasing.
Microsoft 365 security controls are unclear
Identity, administrator access, devices, email, external sharing and data-protection controls may not reflect current risks or licence capabilities.
Power Apps and flows are growing without governance
IT lacks clear visibility of environments, makers, connectors, ownership, data policies and business-critical automations.
Copilot and AI adoption feels premature
Leadership wants AI value, but permissions, oversharing, governance, use cases and pilot responsibilities have not been properly assessed.
Start with a focused, fixed-scope engagement
Our initial services are designed to give leadership clear evidence, priorities and practical next steps without committing to an open-ended transformation programme.
Automation Opportunity Assessment
Identify where manual admin, spreadsheet dependency, approval delays and email chasing are reducing productivity.
We review selected processes, assess practical Microsoft 365 automation opportunities and recommend the best quick win to implement first.
Outcome: a prioritised automation roadmap and recommended Quick-Win Sprint.
Power Platform Governance & AI Readiness Review
Understand what Power Apps, Power Automate flows, environments and makers exist, where governance risks sit and what should be addressed before usage expands.
The review covers ownership, connectors, DLP policies, support, lifecycle management and AI-readiness considerations.
Outcome: a governance scorecard, risk register and 90-day improvement roadmap.
Microsoft 365 Security Baseline Review
Obtain a practical view of Microsoft 365 security across identity, administrator access, devices, email, collaboration, sharing, data protection and security visibility.
We identify the highest-priority gaps and distinguish immediate actions from longer-term improvements.
Outcome: a security scorecard, prioritised risk register and 30/60/90-day plan.
Entra Conditional Access Quickstart
Strengthen MFA, Conditional Access, administrator protection and emergency access without rushing changes that could disrupt users or lock out administrators.
Policies are designed, tested and introduced through a controlled rollout.
Outcome: a safer identity-access baseline and practical implementation roadmap.
Microsoft 365 Copilot Readiness & Data Exposure Review
Understand whether your Microsoft 365 environment is ready for a controlled Copilot pilot.
We assess priority data-exposure risks, permissions, governance, information-protection capability and valuable business use cases before wider adoption.
Outcome: a clear pilot recommendation and prioritised 90-day roadmap.
A controlled route from problem to working solution
Stygian uses a staged delivery model so that scope, ownership, licensing, security and business value are understood before major implementation decisions are made.
1. Discover
Understand the business problem, stakeholders, urgency and practical constraints.
2. Assess and prioritise
Gather evidence, identify material issues and agree what should happen first.
3. Implement
Deliver a bounded solution, remediation sprint or controlled pilot with clear acceptance criteria.
4. Support and improve
Monitor, govern and refine the platform through proportionate ongoing support.
We use a simple delivery model that keeps scope controlled and gives the client a clear decision at each stage.
Microsoft delivery with security and business context built in
Technology alone does not improve a process, secure a tenant or make an AI rollout successful.
Stygian combines Microsoft platform knowledge with cybersecurity, business architecture and process-improvement experience.
Business outcomes first
We begin with the operational problem, user need and required decision—not with a predetermined Microsoft product.
Security by design
Identity, permissions, data handling, ownership and governance are considered during design rather than added after deployment.
Fixed scope and clear boundaries
You receive a defined scope, timetable, deliverables, responsibilities and exclusions before delivery begins.
Client ownership
Production solutions are built in the client’s Microsoft environment with documented access, testing, deployment and handover.
Lean specialist delivery
Stygian uses a focused core team and trusted specialists where an engagement requires additional Power Platform, Entra, Purview or quality-assurance expertise.
Works alongside existing IT providers
We can deliver directly, support internal IT or work alongside an existing MSP without attempting to displace the wider managed-service relationship.

AI Assurance Shouldn’t Be a Final Gate
The UK’s new AI Risk Management Toolkit points towards a better model: continuous AI assurance tied to services, architecture and real-world outcomes.

FAQs
What size organisations does Stygian work with?
Our productised services are designed mainly for UK SMEs and lower mid-market organisations with approximately 20–300 Microsoft 365 users. Larger or more complex organisations can be considered where the requirement is clearly bounded and within our specialist capability.
Do you build Power Apps and Power Automate solutions?
Yes. We assess the business process first, confirm users, data, licensing, security and governance requirements, then scope the build separately. Production solutions are normally built and deployed within the client’s Microsoft tenant.
Do we need additional Power Platform licences?
Not always. Licensing depends on the app, data source, connectors, number of users and whether capabilities such as Dataverse or premium connectors are required. We confirm the likely licensing position before finalising the technical design.
Can you work with our existing MSP or IT team?
Yes. Stygian can provide specialist delivery while the existing MSP or internal IT team retains responsibility for wider Microsoft 365 administration and support. Responsibilities and access are agreed before work starts.
Should we start with an assessment or an implementation project?
Where the process, risks, ownership or technical approach are not yet clear, an assessment is normally the safer starting point. Where the requirement is already well defined, we can use a paid discovery and design phase before issuing a fixed build proposal.
Can the work be delivered remotely?
Most Microsoft 365 and Power Platform engagements can be delivered remotely. Workshops, secure tenant access, configuration, testing and handover can usually be completed without an on-site visit.
Does Stygian provide ongoing support?
Yes. Optional support can include flow monitoring, minor fixes, change requests, governance reviews, backlog management and continuous improvement. The scope and response model are defined in the support agreement.
How do we begin?
Book a short qualification call. We will confirm the problem, the likely fit, any immediate constraints and the most sensible next step. The initial call is for scope and fit; detailed tenant analysis or written technical advice begins only after an engagement is agreed.
