Microsoft 365 Copilot is changing how organizations draft, analyze, and collaborate across Word, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive. As AI becomes part of everyday work, leaders are asking an important question: is our Microsoft 365 environment ready to support AI responsibly – and can we trust the outputs?
Copilot doesn’t invent new access, it works with what your environment already allows. Permissions, data sprawl, retention gaps, and unclear ownership shape what AI can surface. But beyond access and controls, many organizations hit another critical barrier: reliability. If AI responses can’t be consistently grounded, explainable, and verifiable, adoption stalls – even when governance is strong.
In this session, we’ll cover practical, Microsoft‑native ways to strengthen governance foundations and improve trust in AI outputs – with examples drawn from high‑trust environments like legal, where confidentiality and accuracy expectations are higher.
What You’ll Learn
✅ How Copilot Interacts with Your Data
What AI can access, what it respects, and why governance directly shapes what gets surfaced.
✅ The Governance Foundations that Copilot Depends On
Data classification, access control, lifecycle management, and acceptable use — what matters most and why.
✅ Reliability of AI Outputs (Trust, Traceability, and Verification)
How to improve the reliability and accuracy of responses and build repeatable human review patterns for high‑stakes work.
✅ Microsoft 365’s Native Governance & Compliance Capabilities
Where Purview, Entra, and SharePoint governance capabilities fit — and how they support responsible AI readiness.
✅ A Practical Framework to Scale AI Responsibly
A phased approach you can apply over time as AI capabilities and compliance expectations evolve.
