Microsoft Copilot.
Multiple Copilots have been introduced across different Microsoft applications so far. Understanding where to start and how to use them effectively can be overwhelming. This is where ANS can help. With a Copilot Navigator, we’ll simplify and increase Microsoft Copilot adoption in your organisation.
How to secure and govern Microsoft Copilot in your organisation
Copilot for Microsoft 365 accesses content and context through Microsoft Graph. It generates responses based on your organisational data, including SharePoint documents, Teams chats, emails, calendars, meetings, and contacts. And there lies the security challenge.
It’s important to implement the right guardrails so everyone in your organisation can access Copilot in a safe space. Let’s classify Copilot guardrails into 3 pillars:
Protect sensitive data.
To protect your data, you must know where your information is, what information is stored, and who has access to it. Make sure public sites that need to be made private are restricted and intentionally exclude certain SharePoint sites from Copilot. This can be done with sensitivity labels, indexing or new restricted search functionality in SharePoint.
Manage insider risk.
Microsoft Purview will give you good visibility of all your data assets across your organisation, enabling you to restrict access effectively. Using Sensitive Information Types (SIT) in Purview, classify the data accessible to users. Then, start limiting access and lock it down according to job role and department.
Prevent data loss.
Data loss prevention policies should be created and deployed for SharePoint, Exchange, Onedrive, etc., to monitor what data is being transferred, accessed, and sent outside the organisation. Protect your information by applying the right sensitivity labels, conducting access reviews, and auditing usage to ensure Copilot is accessed within a secure, governed environment.
Microsoft Purview.
Microsoft Purview is a comprehensive set of products, created to meet the increasing demands of data governance, security, and risk, compliance, and overall data management.
With Purview, you will get visibility of all your data assets across your organisation, enabling you to restrict access effectively.
ANS suggests you use Compliance Manager in Purview and monitor your score from day 1, with or without Copilot. Compliance Manager gives you an overall score based on your adherence to key regulations, standards for data protection and general data governance. Actively monitor this score and take the recommended actions suggested by Purview to improve your organisation’s overall security posture.
