Compliance for Austin Industries

Hub-Spoke Architecture for Austin Organizations
EPC Group deploys hub-spoke information architecture on every Austin SharePoint engagement:
- One hub site per business unit or division
- Five to fifteen spoke sites attached to each hub
- Mega-menu navigation — users find content in two clicks

SharePoint Migration Tools
EPC Group uses two enterprise-grade migration tools for Austin engagements:
- ShareGate — Preserves permissions exactly. Best for migrations under 10 TB with detailed reporting requirements.

- Native Microsoft 365 tools — Free but limited. Suitable only for small migrations without complex permission structures.
Copilot Readiness for Austin Clients
Microsoft 365 Copilot uses SharePoint as its primary grounding source. EPC Group prepares Austin organizations for Copilot in three steps:
- Audit and fix permissions — remove "Everyone except external users" from sensitive sites
- Apply sensitivity labels to every site and document library before Copilot goes live
- Configure SharePoint semantic index exclusions to keep irrelevant content out of Copilot responses
