Entry Sprint

Copilot Governance Readiness

Microsoft Copilot makes existing oversharing more visible across your tenant. If your data governance isn't ready, Copilot increases data exposure risk.

Start this sprint

You need this sprint if…

→Copilot licenses purchased, rollout planned
→Board asking "is it safe to turn on Copilot?"
→SharePoint permissions are wide open (org-wide sharing)
→No sensitivity labels applied
→No data classification strategy
→AI Act / ISO 42001 requirements emerging

Why this matters now

Copilot doesn't create new security problems. It exposes existing ones - at scale, instantly, to every user who asks a question.

If a finance spreadsheet is shared org-wide, Copilot will surface it. If sensitive HR documents lack labels, Copilot will index them. If your SharePoint permissions are inherited defaults from 2019, Copilot will treat that as policy.

The fix isn't turning Copilot off. It's fixing the data governance that should have been there all along.

What the sprint includes

SharePoint and OneDrive permission audit
Over-sharing and org-wide access identification
Sensitivity label design and deployment
Data Loss Prevention policy configuration
Copilot-specific access boundary enforcement
Data governance readiness report

Deliverables

Permission audit report (pre-Copilot)
Sensitivity label taxonomy and deployment
DLP policies configured
Copilot access boundaries enforced
Governance readiness sign-off report

Who it's for

Firms planning or mid-rollout on Microsoft Copilot
Firms with wide-open SharePoint permissions
Firms facing AI Act or ISO 42001 requirements

Who it's not for

Firms not using Microsoft 365 (we're Microsoft-native only)
Firms wanting Copilot deployment or end-user training (we govern the data layer, not the rollout)
Firms wanting to block AI entirely (we govern it, not ban it)

What happens next

Copilot governance isn't a one-time fix. Permissions drift. New content gets created without labels. The retainer maintains data governance boundaries on an ongoing basis.
