Microsoft 365 Copilot & AI

Copilot can read everything a user can open in Microsoft 365. Before you turn it on, it's worth knowing what that includes.

Copilot works from your existing permissions. If a folder was shared with the whole company years ago, Copilot can surface what's in it to anyone who asks. So we review sharing and permissions in the tenant before licenses are assigned, and close what shouldn't be open. That review is part of Microsoft 365 management.

Then we set Copilot up for the people who will use it. We help you decide who gets a license first, configure it and check it works in the apps your staff use every day.

An AI usage policy covers every AI tool your staff use, including Copilot. It sets which tools are approved, what information can't be pasted into them, how AI output is checked before it reaches a client and who to ask when somebody isn't sure. We write it with you so it fits how your business works.

Training is what makes the policy stick. We walk your staff through using Copilot and other AI tools in their own work, including what not to share. It sits well beside security awareness training.

Copilot and AI work is part of our cloud and Microsoft 365 services. When a business process needs AI built into a tool of its own, we do that through custom web applications.

In their words

Questions About Microsoft 365 Copilot & AI

Is Copilot safe to use with our company data?

Microsoft states that Copilot for business doesn't use your data to train its models. The bigger risk is inside your own tenant: Copilot shows people what they already have access to, so permissions need to be right first.

Do we need an AI policy if we don't use Copilot?

Yes. Staff often use free AI tools on their own, and a policy tells them what they can and can't put into them. Client security questionnaires increasingly ask about it as well.
