Compliance Evidence Packs

Build an audit-ready evidence library for Microsoft 365 and Azure - collecting configuration proof, policies, and operational records so compliance and assurance are repeatable.

Many organisations invest in the right technologies - Microsoft 365 security controls, identity governance, device management, and logging - yet still struggle during audits and assurance activities. The issue is usually evidence: controls may be configured, but proof is fragmented across portals, screenshots, tickets, and ad-hoc notes. When evidence collection is reactive, audits become expensive and disruptive, and teams lose time rebuilding the same artefacts repeatedly. Compliance becomes a ‘project’ rather than an operational capability.

LW IT Solutions delivers Compliance Evidence Packs as a structured service to assemble an evidence library that is clear, organised, and maintainable. We map evidence requirements to your agreed scope (for example Microsoft 365 and Azure controls), capture configuration proof and operational artefacts, and structure the outputs so they can be reused across future audits and internal reviews. The result is a practical evidence pack that supports assurance activities while also improving day‑to‑day governance, because ownership, control intent, and proof of operation are documented in one place.

Talk through your requirements and leave with a clear next-step plan.
