Why do we need Microsoft Purview if we’re already using Microsoft 365 Copilot?
Microsoft 365 Copilot helps you transform everyday work, but to really see ROI from AI, you need to use it at scale and across business processes. That’s exactly where Microsoft Purview comes in.
Purview is the data security and governance layer for Copilot. It helps you:
- Identify oversharing risks before and after Copilot rollout, so sensitive content isn’t unintentionally exposed through AI-generated responses.
- Honor existing permissions, ensuring Copilot only surfaces information users are already allowed to see.
- Protect against data loss and insider risks by safeguarding sensitive files and monitoring how data is used in AI interactions.
- Govern AI usage so you can meet regulations, policies, lifecycle requirements, and audit needs.
In short, Copilot reimagines how employees get work done, and Purview makes sure this happens in a secure, well-governed way that aligns with your compliance obligations.
How does Microsoft Purview reduce data oversharing and leakage risks with Copilot?
Security leaders consistently flag leakage of sensitive data and data oversharing as top concerns with generative AI. Microsoft Purview directly addresses these issues for Copilot.
With Purview, you can:
- Gain visibility into overshared content across Microsoft 365 so you know where sensitive files and excessive permissions exist before Copilot is widely adopted.
- Remediate excessive permissions by tightening access to documents and sites that are too broadly shared.
- Prevent Copilot from processing sensitive files, reducing the chance that confidential information appears in AI-generated responses.
- Protect against data loss and insider risks by getting alerts and reports on risky behavior and AI use, and by dynamically applying security policies when risky actions are detected.
Purview also allows you to inspect interaction content and audit logs, so you can review how Copilot is being used and investigate any potential compliance or ethical issues.
