EPC Group launches modular Purview, Copilot security and Azure migration bundle from $7,500

By AI, Created 5:33 PM UTC, May 18, 2026, /AGP/ – EPC Group introduced a fixed-fee Microsoft package that combines Purview hardening, Copilot oversharing remediation and legacy-to-Azure migration, starting at $7,500. The Houston consultancy is pitching the bundle as a faster way for enterprises to secure Copilot and modernize older infrastructure under one accountable lead.

Why it matters: - Microsoft 365 Copilot can surface overshared data fast, so enterprises need cleanup before broad rollout. - The bundle pairs security hardening with infrastructure migration, which could reduce the number of vendors and project handoffs involved. - EPC Group is positioning the offer for CISOs, CIOs, chief data officers and AI steering committees trying to manage Copilot risk in 2026.

What happened: - EPC Group launched what it calls an industry-first Cafeteria-Menu Microsoft Purview & Copilot Security Package. - The Houston-based consultancy says the package combines Microsoft Purview configuration, Microsoft 365 Copilot security hardening and legacy-to-Azure modernization in one statement of work, one project manager and one fixed fee. - The offering starts at $7,500 and is delivered through EPC Group’s Virtual Chief AI Officer, or vCAIO, practice.

The details: - Track 1 covers Microsoft Purview configuration and hardening, including sensitivity label taxonomy design, auto-labeling, Data Loss Prevention policies for Copilot prompts and responses, Data Security Posture Management for AI, Insider Risk Management, Communication Compliance, eDiscovery readiness and integration with Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access. - Track 2 covers Microsoft 365 Copilot security hardening across SharePoint Online, OneDrive and Teams. - Track 2 also includes Restricted SharePoint Search, Copilot agent inventory and governance, review of third-party AI tools and Conditional Access rules for when Copilot can be used. - Track 3 covers legacy-to-Azure modernization for Exchange 2016 and Exchange 2019, SQL Server, Windows file servers, Hyper-V and VMware workloads. - EPC Group says Exchange 2016 and Exchange 2019 are end-of-support since October 2025. - SQL Server databases are migrated to Azure SQL Managed Instance using Managed Instance Link for near-zero-downtime cutover. - Windows file servers are consolidated to Azure Files with Azure File Sync. - Hyper-V and VMware workloads are moved with Azure Migrate. - Clients can select any combination of the three tracks. - Full three-track enterprise engagements are priced from $35,000 to $95,000. - EPC Group says qualifying clients may be eligible for Microsoft funding vouchers. - The company points to more than 240 Copilot readiness assessments completed since August 2025. - EPC Group says about 80% of Microsoft 365 tenants are misconfigured when Copilot is turned on. - The most common issues include missing or inconsistent Purview labels, DLP policies that do not cover Copilot prompts and responses, broken default sharing links from legacy SharePoint deployments, Conditional Access policies that ignore Copilot traffic and Power BI workspaces sharing sensitive datasets without inherited Purview labels. - EPC Group also cites the January 2026 Varonis “Reprompt” attack as evidence that a single malicious prompt can expose sensitive data in a misconfigured tenant.

Between the lines: - The bundle reflects a broader shift from point solutions toward packaged services that tie governance, security and modernization together. - EPC Group is using the vCAIO role to create a single executive owner for AI governance and platform change, which may appeal to organizations that lack internal coordination. - The fixed-scope menu also suggests EPC Group is trying to make a complex consulting sale easier to buy.

What’s next: - EPC Group says each engagement is anchored by a vCAIO to keep strategy, security and modernization aligned. - The company is offering modular deployments now, with scope and pricing expected to scale by user count, tenant complexity and data sensitivity. - EPC Group directs prospects to more information or contact@epcgroup.net for inquiries.

The bottom line: - EPC Group is betting enterprises want one vendor-led path to secure Copilot and retire risky legacy systems at the same time.
