Microsoft 365 Copilot readiness assessment

Copilot can find anything a user already has access to. Our Copilot readiness assessment reviews permissions, sensitivity labels and oversharing across Microsoft 365 before rollout, so the assistant surfaces the right information to the right people.

Why readiness matters

Copilot works within your permissions, so your permissions need to be right

Microsoft 365 Copilot answers questions using the email, files, chats and sites a user can already reach. It uses the access people already have and makes it much easier to act on. A finance folder shared with everyone years ago, or a site with an open sharing link, becomes something any employee can ask Copilot about.

Most Microsoft 365 tenants have built up this kind of oversharing over time. A Copilot data security assessment finds it before rollout, when fixing it is simpler and before sensitive information turns up in someone’s summary.

What we review

What the Copilot readiness assessment covers

We review the parts of Microsoft 365 that decide what Copilot can see and share.

How it works

From assessment to a safe rollout

1

Scope and access

We agree on the tenant areas in scope and the read access we need, and meet the people who own Microsoft 365 and data.

2

Review

We review permissions, sharing, labels, data governance and Entra ID configuration, and flag the highest-risk exposures.

3

Prioritize

We rank findings by sensitivity and reach, and give you a remediation plan split into what must be fixed before rollout and what can follow.

4

Remediate and pilot

Our engineers can fix the findings with your team, then support a pilot group before wider Copilot deployment.

Deliverables

What you receive

  • Copilot oversharing assessment with the highest-risk locations
  • Review of sensitivity labels and data protection policies
  • Entra ID identity and access findings
  • Prioritized remediation plan, before and after rollout
  • Recommended pilot group and rollout approach
  • Executive summary for leadership

Copilot deployment consulting

Help with the rollout as well as the report

Our engineers support Microsoft 365, Exchange, Windows Server and Microsoft Entra ID day to day. That means we can tighten sharing, apply labels, clean up groups and configure access policies with you, then support a pilot and a wider deployment.

Copilot readiness also fits into a wider AI plan. Pair it with a shadow AI assessment to see which other tools employees use, and with AI governance and policy so staff know what is allowed.

FAQ

Copilot readiness questions

It is a review of your Microsoft 365 tenant before Copilot rollout. We look at permissions, sharing, sensitivity labels, data governance and identity settings, then give you a prioritized plan to fix what could expose sensitive data.

No. Copilot works within each user’s existing permissions. The risk is that many users already have more access than they should, and Copilot makes that access far easier to use.

Oversharing is content shared more widely than intended, such as sites open to the whole organization, sharing links anyone can use or files left in broad groups. Copilot can draw on that content when answering questions, so we find and fix it before rollout.

They are strongly recommended for sensitive content. Labels help protect files wherever they go and can limit how Copilot uses labeled content. We assess your current labels and help you design a practical scheme.

Cost depends on the size of your tenant, the number of users and sites, how much remediation you want us to do and whether you want pilot support. We scope it after a short call with your Microsoft 365 owner.

Yes. Our engineers support Microsoft 365 and Entra ID and can carry out remediation with your team, or hand you a plan your own staff can follow.
