Prevent Data Loss & Insider Risks with Microsoft Purview | Digital Deep Dive: Copilot Control System

This topic explores how organizations can protect sensitive data, mitigate insider threats, and enforce compliance policies using Microsoft Purview—a critical component in the security and governance infrastructure that supports Microsoft 365 Copilot and its agents.

As AI tools like Copilot become more deeply integrated into daily workflows, understanding and managing the risks associated with data exposure, misuse, or accidental leaks is more important than ever. This deep dive reveals how Microsoft Purview helps create a secure and responsible AI environment by aligning data protection with Copilot’s capabilities.

Key topics covered include:

• Information Protection with Sensitivity Labels

  • See how sensitivity labels classify and encrypt documents, emails, and chat messages—even when Copilot interacts with them.

  • Automate labeling policies so that Copilot and agents only work within approved data boundaries.

• Real-World Scenarios

  • Walk through practical use cases—such as preventing employees from copying confidential data into emails drafted by Copilot, or blocking external sharing of unclassified content.

• Compliance Dashboards and Reporting

  • Learn to use Purview’s dashboards to monitor Copilot activity, generate reports for audits, and demonstrate compliance with frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, or ISO 27001.

By the end of this module, learners will understand how to implement advanced controls and real-time safeguards that allow their organizations to fully embrace Copilot’s capabilities without compromising security or compliance. With Microsoft Purview, AI-powered productivity and enterprise-grade protection go hand in hand.
