Microsoft Copilot Readiness
Copilot fails without data governance — oversharing, leaked files, ungoverned prompts. I ship a 2-week readiness pack that makes Copilot safe before your team gets licences.
Copilot without the oversharing disaster
Microsoft Copilot for M365 reads your emails, summarises your documents, and drafts content on behalf of your team — using everything it can reach. If your SharePoint permissions are too broad, if files aren't labelled, or if DLP policies have gaps, Copilot will surface sensitive content that was never meant to be visible. The tool is powerful, but it amplifies whatever governance problems already exist.
Before you buy licences, we run a 2-week readiness sprint. We audit your oversharing patterns in SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams. We deploy Microsoft Information Protection sensitivity labels and configure DLP policies to match Copilot's data surfacing behaviour. We set up prompt governance and identify a small pilot cohort so your first rollout is controlled, not chaotic.
The engagement ends with a written readiness scorecard — a go/no-go assessment across data hygiene, governance, licensing, and user readiness — plus a phased rollout plan your IT team or auditor can pick up and action. No slides that evaporate after the meeting. Just a clean, documented handoff ready for your Copilot licence rollout.
What's Included
Data Oversharing Audit
Scan SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams for over-permissive shares that Copilot would surface to users who shouldn't see them.
Sensitivity Labels & MIP
Deploy Microsoft Information Protection labels and configure auto-classification rules so sensitive content is correctly tagged before Copilot goes live.
DLP Policy Review
Tune existing Data Loss Prevention rules to match Copilot's content surfacing patterns and close gaps that standard templates miss.
Prompt Governance Framework
Write an acceptable use policy for Copilot prompts, configure prompt logging, and document red-flag patterns your team should avoid.
Copilot Champions Program
Identify and train 2–3 internal champions per team with a structured cadence, prompt library, and escalation path for day-one adoption.
Pilot Readiness Scorecard
Written go/no-go assessment covering data hygiene, governance, licensing, and user readiness — a document your CIO or auditor can act on directly.
Licence Rollout Plan
Phased deployment recommendation covering pilot cohort selection, success metrics, and the gate criteria required before broader licence rollout.
Written Handoff Pack
Complete documentation set: DLP and label policies, champion roster, acceptable use policy, and rollout gate criteria — ready to hand to your IT team.
