Microsoft made Entra Tenant Governance generally available on August 10, 2026. It discovers tenants related to yours, lets you administer them without creating accounts in them, and monitors their configuration drift. What it actually does, what it requires, and the contractual prerequisite that blocks a lot of organizations.

Both. Many organizations keep an Active Directory, an Exchange or a SharePoint on site, often for good reasons. io4 works on those environments as well as on Azure, and on the hybrid architectures that connect the two.
No. Most engagements start with a single practice — usually security or Modern Work. Having all seven under one roof simply means you don't have to re-coordinate three vendors when the project touches a second subject.
See the 6-step methodologyTwo models. Fixed-scope projects with a price agreed up front. Or the io4 360 bank of hours, from about CAD 2,500 a month, which gives you the whole team for a known budget. The base rate is CAD 190/h, with volume discounts.
Size a bank of hoursOn Microsoft Azure, in the Canada Central (Toronto) and Canada East (Québec) regions by default for Canadian clients, and in the France region for European clients. That is the prerequisite for both Law 25 and GDPR compliance.
With it, in the vast majority of engagements. io4 brings the Microsoft depth — architecture, security, Azure, Copilot — that few internal teams can keep current. Tier-1 support and day-to-day operations usually stay with you or with an MSP.
An initial assessment takes one to two weeks. Hardening Microsoft 365 produces measurable Secure Score gains within 30 days. A Law 25 compliance program runs four to eight weeks. A Copilot pilot, four weeks.
