Free Copilot readiness scan · Canada
Free Copilot Readiness Scan
Microsoft published its Copilot readiness engine as open source. Fusion Computing automated it for Canadian businesses: a read-only scan of your real Microsoft 365 tenant, delivered as a branded report with priorities, in days, not weeks.
- 7 service areas read straight from your tenant via Microsoft Graph
- Built on Microsoft's official open-source assessment engine (MIT)
- Read-only: no agents installed, nothing leaves your tenant but the report
- A branded Fusion Computing readout with a prioritized fix list, free
Updated June 2026. Genuinely free: the engine is Microsoft's, the run is automated, and the readout call is 30 minutes. If the scan flags deeper risk, the paid AI Readiness Assessment is the next step, and we will say so plainly.
Why Canadian teams run the scan with Fusion Computing
Microsoft's engine
The official open-source readiness assessment, not a vendor quiz
Minutes, not weeks
API-driven analysis of your actual configuration
Branded readout
A Fusion Computing report with priorities, not a raw CSV dump
Read-only
Scoped service principal, removed after the run
What the scan reads
Seven service areas, straight from your tenant
No questionnaires and no self-reporting. The engine queries Microsoft Graph, Defender, Exchange Online, and Power Platform APIs and scores what is actually configured.
M365 licensing
Copilot-relevant licensing and feature availability across the tenant, so you know what you are already paying for.
Entra ID
Identity protection and access controls: the Conditional Access and MFA posture that decides what Copilot can reach.
Defender XDR
Security posture and threat-detection configuration scored against what a Copilot rollout assumes is in place.
Purview
Data classification, sensitivity labels, and DLP policies: the controls that stop Copilot from surfacing what it should not.
Power Platform
Environment governance and AI Builder readiness, where ungoverned automation usually hides.
Copilot Studio & agents
Agent deployment configuration and inventory, including Agent 365 readiness signals.
The deliverable
A branded report your leadership can actually read
The raw engine outputs spreadsheets. According to Microsoft (2026), the assessment scores each check from live tenant APIs; we turn that output into a branded Fusion Computing readout: every finding marked Compliant, Warning, or Not Configured, ranked by priority, with the specific recommendation attached.
Across our client tenants, the Warning rows we see most are in Purview and Entra ID, the settings that decide what Copilot can surface. You get the report and a 30-minute walkthrough with a consultant who runs these rollouts, so the fix list lands as decisions, not homework.
Built in the open
The engine is Microsoft's, and you can read the source

Adoption concentrates in firms with documented governance. The scan gives a Canadian business the configuration baseline insurers and privacy regulators expect, before the licences are committed.

Who it is for
Run it before the licences, not after
The scan fits any Canadian business on Microsoft 365 that is weighing Copilot. In practice, most teams that book it are at one of these four decision points.
Pricing a rollout
You are budgeting Copilot licences and want to know what has to be fixed first, with evidence.
Already piloting
Copilot is live for a few users and you want to know what it can reach before you widen the ring.
Board or insurer asked
Someone wants a documented readiness position, and a vendor questionnaire will not cut it.
Comparing options
You are weighing Copilot against custom AI and want a configuration-level baseline either way.
How it works
Three steps, none of them a workshop
The scan itself is automated, so your total time investment is about an hour across two short calls: one to set up read-only access, one to walk the branded report.
1. 30-minute setup call
We scope the run and set up read-only API access with your admin: a documented service principal you can revoke the same day.
2. The automated run
The engine queries your tenant and scores every check. Minutes of runtime; we review and interpret the output.
3. Branded readout
A 30-minute walkthrough of the Fusion report and the prioritized fix list. The report is yours either way.
CISSP-led interpretation
Mike Pearlstein, CISSP, Founder of Fusion Computing
Mike has run Microsoft 365 security programs for Canadian businesses since 2012. “The engine is excellent and it is free, so we give the run away. The value we add is the interpretation: most tenants we scan show Warning rows in Purview and Entra ID that decide whether Copilot becomes a productivity story or an oversharing story.”
