Getting started safely with Microsoft Copilot
AI like Copilot can save an enormous amount of time, but it sees everything your employees can access. Get your data in order first, then bring in AI.
By Max HoltropMicrosoft Copilot promises a lot: faster emailing, summarising, drafting documents. But there's a catch. Copilot works based on everything an employee has access to, and in many organisations permissions and folders are open more widely than everyone assumes.
Copilot works best on a well-configured workplace, such as our Microsoft 365 Modern Work.
Get your data in order first
If you switch on Copilot without your data security in order, AI can suddenly surface sensitive information that wasn't really meant for everyone. The solution isn't "no AI", but: first get your access rights, classification and security in order, and only then roll it out.
Our approach
We make sure your foundation is right before you start with AI: clear access rights, protection of sensitive data and control over who can see what. That way your team reaps the benefits of Copilot, without unintended risks.
