AI only delivers real value when it is secure, compliant, and trusted. As organisations adopt Copilot at scale, governance becomes the foundation that enables confidence –  not a blocker to progress.

This webinar explains how to put the right guardrails in place, so Copilot can accelerate work safely without amplifying existing data risks.

Why attend?

Join this practical session to see how governance supports Copilot adoption in the real world. Through live demos, you’ll learn how to start harnessing the power of SharePoint management and Microsoft Purview to gain visibility, control, and confidence before AI scales across your organisation.

Key takeaways

• Why governance matters in an AI world: Copilot doesn’t give users access to data they don’t already have – but it does make interactions with data faster and easier. That means any gaps in governance, access, or protection are amplified. Learn why governance is essential before AI adoption accelerates.
• The eight core governance areas for Copilot: Get an overview of the eight key areas we focus on when preparing environments for M365 Copilot, helping you understand where to prioritise effort and reduce risk.
• Information Protection deep dive: Discover how Information Protection helps you identify data that is critical to your organisation, then classify and protect it so Copilot can operate within clear, trusted boundaries.
• See governance in action: Watch a live demo showing how to configure Sensitive Information Types and labels, giving you practical insight into how governance is applied inside a real tenant.

Who should attend?

This session is ideal for:

• IT and digital leaders responsible for Copilot readiness
• Security, compliance, and information governance teams
• Anyone preparing their organisation for secure AI adoption
