I work beside your IT provider, not instead of them.
Most firms I work with already have an IT provider, and that's fine. They keep your devices, your help desk and your backups. I keep AI safe inside your Microsoft 365 and tell you both what changed each month. If you don't have anyone, I'll say so and we can talk about it.
Who does what.
Two lists that don't overlap. That's the whole point.
Your IT provider keeps
- Your laptops, phones and printers
- Day-to-day fixes for your staff
- Backups
- Servers, networks and the office Wi-Fi
- Anything after hours
I keep
- What AI tools can see in your Microsoft 365
- The one-page AI-use policy
- The model decision inside Copilot
- The monthly check that nothing drifted
- Advice on how many Copilot seats you need
What I'll need from them.
Not much, and all of it in writing.
Read-only access, for the Check
A read-only admin role for two weeks. I can look; I can't change anything. They can see exactly what I was given.
A change window, for the set-up
The set-up changes sharing and sign-in settings. I agree the timing with them first, so nothing surprises anyone on a Monday morning.
A copy of the monthly report, if you want
You choose whether your IT provider gets the one-page report on the 1st. It saves everyone a phone call.
What I'll never do.
Sell against them
I won't pitch you on replacing your IT provider, and I don't quote for their work.
Touch their devices
Laptops, servers, backups and networks are theirs. I work inside your Microsoft 365, on what AI can see.
Take over quietly
Every change I make is written down and dated, and you can share it with them.
If you're the IT provider reading this.
Questions first? Email hello@accipa.ca and you'll have a written answer by the next business day.
Hello.
Here's exactly what I touch: sharing settings, sign-in settings, sensitivity labels and Copilot settings inside the client's Microsoft 365, and only after we've agreed a time. I don't touch devices, backups, servers or networks, and I don't quote for any of it.
You'll get the same one-page monthly report the owner gets, if they want you to. If something I find is yours to fix, I'll say so in writing, to both of you, and leave it with you.

Where it starts.
The AI Exposure Check
Two weeks, read-only, in writing.
The AI Guardrails plan
Which is what all of the above describes.
Questions owners ask.
Yours isn't here? Email me and you get a written answer by the next business day.
We already have an IT provider.
Good, keep them. Most firms I work with already have an IT provider, and that's fine. They keep your devices, your help desk and your backups. I keep AI safe inside your Microsoft 365 and tell you both what changed each month. If you don't have anyone, I'll say so and we can talk about it.
Why would I give a stranger access to our Microsoft 365?
Read-only, with an end date, and nothing changes during the Check. You get a one-page note on exactly what the role can and can't do, and your IT provider can watch.
Who answers when I get in touch?
Email any time and you get a written answer by the next business day. If it's easier to talk, I'll call you back. I resolve every issue myself.
Start with 20 minutes.
No slides, no demo. I'll tell you whether I can help, and what the Check would cost for a firm your size.
