NLCS / Principal-led specialist consulting
Protect sensitive information, modernize enterprise DLP, and establish trusted data security and AI governance across Microsoft 365, government cloud, and modern data platforms.
Principal-led consulting. Hands-on engineering. Measurable data protection outcomes.
Microsoft 365 • GCC & GCC High • Enterprise DLP • CUI protection
The NLCS difference
NLCS helps organizations transform Microsoft Purview from a collection of configured policies into an effective, measurable, and sustainable enterprise data protection program.
We specialize in designing, implementing, modernizing, and optimizing Microsoft Purview solutions for organizations operating in complex, regulated, and government cloud environments. Principal-level architecture stays connected to hands-on engineering, stakeholder decisions, and production change governance.
Six core offerings
Start with architecture, modernize DLP, prepare for AI, or sustain the program after rollout. Each engagement has a defined scope and operating outcome.
NLCS assesses, designs, and implements enterprise Microsoft Purview information protection across supported Microsoft 365 workloads. Architecture, engineering, testing, and operating responsibilities are connected from the start.
Explore Purview architectureFlagship service
NLCS helps enterprises assess existing or legacy DLP, redesign detection around sensitive data and business workflows, and modernize Microsoft Purview controls through simulation, controlled rollout, and effectiveness reporting.
Explore DLP modernizationNLCS brings GCC and GCC High project experience to federal contractor and regulated-enterprise work. Engagements translate CUI handling requirements into scoped classification, labeling, DLP, secure collaboration, and evidence practices.
Explore Government cloud & CUINLCS assesses Microsoft Copilot readiness, sensitive-data exposure, oversharing, and information protection requirements. Purview-centered governance considers supported Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and Microsoft Foundry workloads without treating every AI integration as equivalent.
Explore AI & Copilot governanceNLCS combines hands-on Fabric and Power BI consulting experience with Purview architecture to scope governance, compliance analytics, and security integrations. Specific integrations and platform components are evaluated for the customer’s supported environment.
Explore Fabric & security integrationNLCS helps organizations maintain Microsoft Purview through recurring policy effectiveness reviews, configuration assessments, audit analysis, reporting, and architectural recommendations. Agreed review routines connect tuning and change governance to accountable operating teams.
Explore Continuous governanceFlagship / DLP Modernization & Optimization
Fragmented policies, noisy detections, and uncertain coverage make enterprise DLP difficult to operate. NLCS connects policy architecture, custom detection engineering, controlled rollout, and reporting to an agreed baseline.
Explore DLP ModernizationImprovements are measured against agreed criteria, not presented as guaranteed reductions or unverified customer results.
Two ways to engage NLCS
Direct consulting for enterprise teams. Principal-led delivery support for partner-led projects. Each model has its own inquiry path and agreed responsibilities.

Explore Delivery PartnershipsA clear starting point
Choose an assessment, a roadmap, or recurring optimization. Representative outputs help frame discovery; final scope, deliverables, timing, and terms are agreed before work begins.
Review existing DLP policies, detection noise, workload coverage, and opportunities for optimization.
Designed for: Enterprises with deployed or legacy DLP whose teams need a clear view of policy quality and coverage.
Assessment and recommendations; production policy changes are separately scoped and approved.
Evaluate the current environment and deliver a prioritized target architecture and implementation plan.
Designed for: Organizations planning a new Purview program, redesign, migration, or government-cloud workstream.
Roadmap and design work; implementation scope and rollout commitments are agreed separately.
Identify sensitive-data exposure, oversharing risks, and information protection readiness for enterprise AI adoption.
Designed for: Enterprise teams preparing to adopt or expand Microsoft Copilot and supported AI workloads.
Readiness assessment, not universal AI protection, a compliance certification, or a guarantee of safe AI use.
Recurring policy effectiveness reviews, reporting, configuration assessments, and architectural recommendations.
Designed for: Organizations with a deployed Purview program that need ongoing specialist governance and improvement.
Recurring advisory and optimization; capacity and cadence are agreed, with no 24/7 monitoring or guaranteed response SLA.
