Verifiable document chunk provenance
Architectural Capabilities & Deliverables
Specific technical interventions, deployment baselines, and governance deliverables included in this practice.
Exhaustive pre-AI security audit across SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive to ensure confidential HR files, executive salaries, and strategic memos are never indexed or exposed by Copilot to unauthorized staff.
On-premises and sovereign cloud deployment of open-weight models (Llama 3, Mistral, Qwen) using Ollama and vLLM where corporate data never leaves your hardware boundary.
High-accuracy vector knowledge bases built on PostgreSQL 16 pgvector, BM25 hybrid search, and strict document-level access controls with verifiable citations.
Intelligent triage and ticket routing agents built on Steve’s 16+ years architecting global customer support organizations at Sonitor, deflecting routine issues and accelerating escalations.
Enforcing Data Loss Prevention (DLP) guardrails, automated redaction of sensitive PII/secrets in outbound prompts, and protection against prompt injection attacks.
Practical, no-nonsense staff training on workflow prompt engineering, safe AI utilization, and measurable productivity improvements without corporate exposure.

Engineering Consultancy: Safe Microsoft 365 Copilot Rollout
A 70-person engineering consultancy halted its Microsoft 365 Copilot rollout after a pilot user discovered internal executive salary spreadsheets during an innocent Copilot search prompt.
Steve Cormier conducted an automated permissions remediation across 240 SharePoint libraries, enforced Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels, established restricted Copilot user security groups, and deployed outbound DLP guardrails.
Safely re-launched Copilot across all 70 engineers with zero data leakage incidents, boosting technical report and RFP proposal drafting speed by 40%.
