Unlocking Microsoft Copilot’s Potential in the Digital Workplace While Managing Risks

Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 is set to revolutionize how we work by surfacing critical data insights across the organization. However, as it integrates deeper into workflows, ensuring secure, compliant, and relevant data use is essential. Key risk factors include:

  • Data Exposure and Compliance: Copilot accesses all data within view-permissions. Weak access controls can lead to compliance issues, including GDPR risks.
  • Lack of Data Classification: Without consistent classification, Copilot may unintentionally process sensitive data, creating new unclassified information with limited data protection.
  • Outdated Information Risks: Unmanaged, redundant data may cause Copilot to reference obsolete information, leading to potential inaccuracies in generated outputs.

Organizations must prioritize robust data governance, Microsoft Purview classifications, and regular data clean-ups to maximize the benefits of Copilot safely and effectively.

Infotechtion has developed methodologies and frameworks to maximize the value of Copilot for Microsoft 365 while mitigating the risks.

Essential Security Controls for Microsoft 365 E3 Licenses

To ensure a secure and compliant environment when implementing tools like Microsoft Copilot, consider these foundational security controls for organizations using E3 licenses:

  • Restrict External Sharing: Disable ‘Anyone’ or ‘Open Access’ permissions to prevent unintended external access.
  • Configure Secure Sharing Links: Set default sharing to ‘Select Named Individuals’ to ensure controlled data access.
  • Limit Search Capabilities: Enable restricted search in SharePoint to limit data exposure within the organization.
  • Disable Bing Chat Integration: Turn off Bing Chat for Enterprise integration to maintain data security and prevent oversharing.
  • Selective Copilot Activation: Enable Copilot only for approved apps to minimize risk and align with compliance goals.
  • Sensitivity Label for Copilot Content: Assign a special Sensitivity label for pilot users to tag Copilot-generated content, maintaining content classification.
  • Audit Copilot Interactions: Use Microsoft Purview controls to monitor Copilot interactions and prompt pilot users with Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies.

These measures provide a solid foundation for safeguarding data and ensuring compliance while adopting new AI-driven functionalities in Microsoft 365.

Advanced Security Controls for Microsoft 365 E3+ Licenses

For organizations using E3+ licenses, advanced security configurations offer enhanced data protection and compliance when deploying tools like Microsoft Copilot. Key advanced controls include:

  • Audit Copilot with Advanced Insights: Activate advanced insights to monitor Copilot usage and ensure compliance with organizational policies.
  • Auto-Tag Copilot-Generated Content: Automatically apply tagging to content generated by Copilot, making it easier to classify and secure.
  • Prompt Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for Shared Content: Configure DLP policies to alert users when they share Copilot-tagged data, reducing the risk of unauthorized sharing.
  • Retention Policies for Data Management: Enable retention policies to identify and remove stale or obsolete data, keeping your data environment lean and compliant.
  • Automate Search Scope for Inactive Workspaces: Streamline search functionality by automatically excluding or including inactive workspaces in restricted searches, enhancing relevant data discovery.
  • Encrypt Personal and Sensitive Data: Enable encryption protocols for personal and sensitive data, providing an extra layer of protection for high-risk information.

These advanced controls help ensure data security, privacy, and compliance while fully leveraging Microsoft 365’s AI-powered capabilities.
