You're hearing about AI everywhere — and most of it is hype, jargon, or a pitch for something expensive. One conversation, no pressure, a clear path forward built around your actual business.
Three things every business leader needs before making an AI decision.
Not every business needs an AI strategy. I'll tell you honestly what makes sense for your size, your industry, and your goals — and what to ignore.
You don't need a transformation program. I help you identify the two or three things that will actually move the needle — nothing more.
I'm not trying to sell you a retainer or a platform. If all you need is an hour of honest guidance to get unstuck, that's exactly what I'm here for.
I'm David Carlson, founder of Digital Assurance Partners. I spend my days designing and deploying AI-driven automation for real businesses — not writing whitepapers about it.
I'm ex-Microsoft, with deep hands-on experience across Azure, OpenAI, and Copilot. I'll work with whatever tools make sense for your business — the goal is always the right solution, not a predetermined stack.
When we talk, you're getting someone who has actually done this work — across security, compliance, operations, and AI automation — for companies at your scale.
Connect on LinkedInDeep expertise across Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID, Defender, and Sentinel — the full stack your business already runs on.
50+ Azure Functions built and deployed for real clients — AI agents handling security, compliance, and M365 administration at scale.
Not enterprise theory adapted down. Everything I do is designed from the ground up for businesses without a dedicated IT department.
I don't sell platforms or resell software. My only interest is giving you an honest assessment of what will actually help your business.
Tell me a little about where you are and what you're trying to figure out. I'll reach out to schedule time — no prep required on your end.
