Copilot security readiness assessment

Gain detailed understanding of current Microsoft 365 tenant security posture and avoid unauthorized data access risks from over permissioned sites when rolling out Microsoft Copilot for M365. Focusing on Sharepoint and Teams environments, this offering provides both current state assessment and specific recommendations on improvements required. 

Your business challenges

Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 presents only data that each individual can access using the same underlying controls for data access used in other Microsoft 365 services. Unfortunately, most Microsoft 365 tenants are over permissioned - average M365 tenant has 40+million unique permissions, 113K+ sensitive records shared publicly and 27K sharing links active.

Our Solution

Are you a medium or large business preparing for the Microsoft Copilot rollout but concerned about data confidentiality risks?
Copilots are built to ease information retrieval.
Will your internal users be able to access information they are not entitled to?
