Accred Assess: a free, read-only Microsoft 365 and AI readiness assessment

Accred Assess turns evidence from Microsoft 365 and your AI tools into a readiness score and a 67-control plan you can take to leadership. It is read-only, free to start, and built by the Microsoft 365 engineers at Accred Consulting.

Short answer

Accred Assess is a browser-based AI governance and readiness assessment for Microsoft 365, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT and AI coding agents. It reads evidence read-only through Microsoft Graph, the Anthropic Admin API and ChatGPT analytics imports, then scores readiness against 67 controls in 12 phases. It makes no changes to your tenant. The free tier needs no account or card. A one-time expanded assessment is $99 per organization.

Who it is for

  • IT leaders asked whether the organization is ready for Microsoft 365 Copilot
  • Security and compliance owners who need evidence before approving Claude, ChatGPT or coding agents
  • Small and mid-size businesses without a dedicated governance team
  • MSPs and consultants who want a structured, repeatable readiness record

How it works

  1. Connect read-only. Use Microsoft Graph discovery, the Anthropic Admin API, and ChatGPT analytics imports. Each capability is checked on its own. Anything Accred Assess cannot read is marked not evaluated, never counted as a pass.
  2. Decide each control. Record status, notes and evidence against all 67 controls. Decision history keeps a snapshot of every change.
  3. Act on the plan. Get prioritized next steps and a print-ready report with methodology and limitations. Do the work yourself or with Accred.
