Why do we need Microsoft Purview if we’re already using Microsoft 365 Copilot?
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 properly protected and governed. That’s where Microsoft Purview comes in.
Purview is designed to help you:
- Identify and reduce data oversharing before and after Copilot deployment, so sensitive content isn’t unintentionally exposed.
- Protect against data loss and insider risks by safeguarding sensitive files and monitoring risky behavior and AI use.
- Honor existing permissions so Copilot only surfaces content that users are already allowed to see.
- Meet security, compliance, and governance requirements as you adopt AI more broadly.
Security leaders are already focused on these issues: in recent studies, a significant share of leaders cited leakage of sensitive data as their main concern with generative AI, and many security leaders said that identifying risky users based on their AI queries is one of the top controls they want to implement.
In short, Copilot helps you reimagine work; Purview helps you do it securely and responsibly, at scale.
How does Microsoft Purview actually secure and govern Copilot usage?
Microsoft Purview provides a set of integrated tools to secure and govern how your organization uses Microsoft 365 Copilot.
1. Address oversharing and access issues
- Gain visibility into overshared content so you can see where sensitive information might be too broadly accessible.
- Remediate excessive permissions by tightening access where needed.
- Prevent Copilot from processing sensitive files that should not be used as AI input.
2. Protect against data loss and insider risks
- Get alerts and reports on risky behavior and AI use, including suspicious patterns of access or queries.
- Protect sensitive files and Copilot interactions with policies that control how data can be used and shared.
- Dynamically apply security policies based on risky actions, so controls adapt to user behavior.
3. Strengthen AI governance and compliance
- Inspect interaction content and audit logs to understand how Copilot is being used.
- Investigate for compliance and ethical violations when needed.
- Enforce lifecycle policies and legal holds so AI-related content follows your existing data lifecycle rules.
- Get guided assistance to remain compliant with emerging AI regulations.
These capabilities help organizations that want more confidence in managing and discovering data input into AI apps and tools, while still enabling broad AI adoption.
