Microsoft 365 Copilot can transform how your teams work, but to see real ROI at scale you need to make sure the data it uses is protected and well governed. That’s where Microsoft Purview comes in.

Purview is designed to help you run a secure, well-governed Copilot deployment by:

• Safeguarding sensitive data that Copilot can access, so AI-powered productivity doesn’t create new exposure risks.
• Honoring existing permissions, so Copilot doesn’t surface content to people who shouldn’t see it.
• Providing visibility into where oversharing is happening and how to fix it before or during Copilot rollout.
• Supporting compliance and lifecycle policies so your AI use aligns with regulations and internal standards.

In short, Copilot helps you reimagine work; Purview helps you do it securely and responsibly, with the controls and insight your security, risk, and compliance teams expect.

Data leakage is a top concern for organizations adopting generative AI. In recent studies, security leaders cited leakage of sensitive data as their main concern, and many want better controls to identify risky AI use.

Microsoft Purview addresses these issues by giving you tools to:

• Address oversharing
  • Gain visibility into overshared content across Microsoft 365.
  • Remediate excessive permissions so fewer people have access to sensitive files.
  • Prevent Copilot from processing sensitive files that shouldn’t be used as AI input.
• Protect against data loss and insider risks
  • Get alerts and reports on risky behavior and AI use.
  • Protect sensitive files and Copilot interactions with data loss prevention and sensitivity policies.
  • Dynamically apply security policies based on risky actions, so controls adapt to user behavior.

With these capabilities, Purview helps you identify risks early, reduce oversharing, and limit the chance that Copilot will expose or use data in ways that don’t align with your security posture.

Many organizations want to feel more confident about managing and discovering data input into AI apps and tools. Microsoft Purview is built to give you that visibility and control for Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Key governance and compliance capabilities include:

• AI use visibility and investigation
  • Inspect interaction content and audit logs related to Copilot.
  • Detect and investigate noncompliant or unethical usage.
  • Identify risky users and queries so you can intervene where needed.
• Regulatory and policy alignment
  • Support your existing lifecycle policies and audit requirements.
  • Enforce lifecycle policies and legal holds on data used with Copilot.
  • Use guided assistance to help remain compliant with emerging AI regulations.

For organizations with new or existing Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses, Microsoft is also offering a 50% discount on new purchases of the Purview Suite, making it easier to build AI governance into your Copilot strategy from the start.
