A clear path: audit, fix, then keep it healthy.

Most engagements start with a Health Check. You get a written findings report you can act on, with or without us. From there, we fix what the report finds and, if it makes sense, keep your environment governed and optimized month to month.

Start here

Why Zohmar

You get the senior architect leading your engagement, not a rotating bench of juniors billed at senior rates.

i.

Specialist, not generalist

We do one thing: Microsoft 365 governance, cost and safe AI. We're not also running your network or selling you hardware.

ii.

Built for Canadian regulation

PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25, federal cyber-resilience and data-residency are the starting point, not an afterthought.

iii.

Architect-led, scalable on demand

The architect who scopes the work leads it, and brings in vetted, certified specialists when a project needs more hands. Never a bait-and-switch.

iv.

Confidentiality by default

Two decades in government, finance and healthcare means discretion is built into how we work, and how we talk about it.

03

Proof: two decades of regulated-environment delivery.

Engagements are anonymized to respect client confidentiality, which is rather the point for a governance specialist. The newest work, insights and self-check quizzes are featured first.

Federal health department

Off legacy file shares, into PIPEDA-aligned governance.

Migrated network drives into a structured, bilingual SharePoint environment for 2,000+ users, with retention, classification and AODA-compliant document management.

Where Zohmar is headed

The core engagement is live today. These are the capabilities we're actively building out to make safe AI adoption easier and more affordable for the regulated organizations we serve.

Government-funded engagements

We're pursuing approval as an Ontario digital-adoption consultant, so eligible organizations will be able to offset a significant share of governance and AI-adoption work through government programs. Ask us about funding when we scope your engagement.

AI-security architecture

Deepening from safe AI enablement to full AI-security architecture, so adoption is secured end to end: your data, your identities, and the AI layer itself.

Reusable governance accelerators

Turning proven governance frameworks and assessment tooling into reusable accelerators, so engagements move faster, cost less, and start from a higher baseline.
