Microsoft 365 makes it trivial to spin up a Team, a group or a SharePoint site. That is the point — and it is also the problem.
Leave creation open and you get sprawl: names that follow no standard, sites with no accountable owner, no sensitivity label applied, guest access sitting at whatever the tenant default happens to be, and no record of why any of it exists. Close it down and every request becomes a helpdesk ticket — a workspace that should take minutes takes a week.
Microsoft's own controls only offer that choice. You restrict group creation to a security group, or you leave it open. There is nothing in between.
Samyak is the in-between. Users request a workspace through a guided form, and the rules your compliance team set are applied automatically at the moment of creation — not audited months later.
Samyak deploys into your organisation's own Microsoft Azure subscription. Nothing is hosted by Paras InfoGov. This matters for regulated industries — financial services, healthcare, legal, public sector — where data sovereignty is a hard requirement, not a preference.
Built to close the gap between locked-down provisioning that nobody can use and open provisioning that nobody can govern.
Users request workspaces themselves and get them in minutes. Creation rights sit with Samyak rather than with every licensed account, so your rules apply whether or not anyone remembers them.
Questions branch on the answers given. A departmental Team asks five questions; a client-facing workspace handling regulated data asks the ones that actually apply to it. Nobody wades through fields that do not concern them.
Your convention is configured once and composed automatically from the answers. The requester sees the exact final name before submitting, checked live against the directory, so duplicates are caught at the form rather than at provisioning.
The right Purview label is applied to the group and site as they are created, driving privacy, guest access and unmanaged-device policy from day one. No retro-fitting labels onto content that has already spread.
Every workspace requires named owners, resolved against your directory as the requester types. Orphaned sites are the single largest source of governance debt, and Samyak will not let one be created.
Route requests for approval based on sensitivity, department, guest access or any governance answer. Low-risk requests provision straight through. Approved requests assign the agreed roles automatically — no separate ticket to grant access afterwards.
External sharing is set deliberately for each workspace at the point of creation, rather than inheriting a tenant-wide default that is either too open for some teams or too restrictive for others.
Content types published from your content type hub, hub site association, and metadata written to the site — all applied as part of provisioning. Users get a structured site, not an empty one they will structure badly themselves.
Update your question set whenever policy moves. Every existing workspace keeps the version it was actually approved against, so an audit five years from now reads the questions as they stood at the time.
Who requested it, what they answered, who approved it, when, and exactly what was provisioned. Every change is retained with its full history and can be produced on demand.
Admins add and remove approvers and administrators in the application itself. No directory changes to raise, and no dependency on the team that deployed it.
Your subscription, your data, your network boundary. No vendor-hosted infrastructure and no shared data stores. Every workspace it creates is a standard Microsoft 365 object with nothing proprietary to unwind.
The requester answers a short adaptive form, picks owners, and sees the final workspace name and sensitivity label before submitting.
If your rules call for approval, the request routes to the right approver with every answer in front of them. If not, it goes straight through.
The group, Team or site is created with the label, ownership, guest setting and SharePoint structure applied. This runs in the background and takes minutes.
The requester and owners are emailed a link to the finished workspace, and the full decision trail is written to the audit record and kept.
Pricing is based on your organisation's Microsoft 365 E3/E5 licensed seat count. All features are included at every tier — no per-requester fees, no per-workspace charges, and no cap on how many workspaces you provision.
*Azure infrastructure costs are billed directly by Microsoft to your organisation and are separate from the Samyak subscription. Typical costs range from $65 to $200 per month depending on organisation size.
It sits in front of it. You restrict group and site creation to Samyak, and users request workspaces through Samyak instead. Every workspace is still a standard Microsoft 365 group, Team or SharePoint site — there is no proprietary container, and nothing to migrate if you ever stop using it.
Samyak deploys into your organisation's own Microsoft Azure subscription. Nothing is hosted by Paras InfoGov, and no data leaves your environment.
No. Samyak works on E3. Sensitivity labels are applied if you have them configured in Microsoft Purview, and Samyak works perfectly well without them if you do not.
Requests that need no approval are typically ready within a few minutes. Provisioning runs in the background, so the requester is emailed when the workspace is available rather than waiting on a screen.
They are left alone. Samyak governs creation from the point you deploy it. Cleaning up existing sprawl is a separate remediation exercise, and one Paras InfoGov can help with as a consulting engagement.
