Copilot Adoption & Data Governance
Make Copilot safe to switch on: fix oversharing, apply sensitivity labels, and monitor usage so AI never surfaces data people shouldn't see.
Solution Overview
The Challenge
Microsoft 365 Copilot inherits every permission in your tenant, so the moment it is switched on it can surface anything a user technically has access to, including the HR folder shared with "everyone" three years ago.
- 1Copilot inherits every existing permission, including years of accumulated oversharing
- 2Sensitive content sits unlabeled and unprotected across SharePoint and OneDrive
- 3Broad "everyone except external users" links on sites nobody owns any more
Our Approach
CloudGate runs a Copilot readiness assessment using Microsoft Purview and SharePoint Advanced Management to quantify oversharing before anything is enabled, then remediates risky access, applies sensitivity labels and DLP policies to the content that matters, and cleans up orphaned and overshared sites.
- Oversharing and data-risk assessment before enablement, with quantified exposure reporting
- Sensitivity label taxonomy and auto-labeling applied to high-risk content
- DLP policies extended to Copilot and generative AI interactions
