Use Cases

Copilot readiness assessment

Turning on Microsoft Copilot without checking permissions is like handing a megaphone to the office gossip. Suddenly, company secrets are broadcasted loudly to everyone. 1Security gives you clear visibility into permissions and sensitive data exposure before you roll out Copilot, so AI only works with data users are meant to see.

Copilot's exact file permissions and exposure across all users

What is the challenge?

  • Oversharing Risks

    Files shared with "Everyone" inside the company become instant answers for Copilot, exposing sensitive data that should stay private.

  • Sensitive Data Exposure

    HR records, salaries, or legal docs with loose access controls get surfaced in simple chat answers, causing internal leaks.

  • Stale Permissions

    Old access rights from years ago give Copilot a way to find outdated or dangerous context you thought was gone.

  • Guest Access Loopholes

    External partners or vendors might use AI tools to dig into internal files they were given access to a long time ago.

  • Lack of Visibility

    You simply don't know what Copilot can see or which sites are exposed before you turn the feature on for your team.

Alternative solutions

Solving It with Other Methods

Teams often rely on manual reviews or the default Microsoft 365 tools, but it feels like matching look-alike socks in a hurry: you think you’ve got it right, yet a few mismatched risks always slip through.

  • Manual audits

    Asking department heads to "clean up" their own data never works well and takes months to finish.

  • Microsoft Purview

    Great for labeling data, but it is hard to see actual users access paths or "shadow" permissions quickly.

  • PowerShell scripts

    Running complex code requires an expert, often breaks, and provides messy reports that are hard to read.

  • Ignoring the risk

    Turning AI on and hoping for the best usually leads to security concerns when a private file pops up in a chat.

Benefits

Why OneDrive Monitoring Matters?

1Security keeps your data clear, controlled, and protected before Copilot ever touches it. Because left on its own, Copilot explores your tenant like open terrain — and your confidential files become its souvenirs.

  • Prevent Data Leaks

    Stop salary lists or HR info from popping up in a Copilot chat window for the wrong users.

  • Trust Your AI

    Users trust the tool more when it gives right answers and doesn't spill company secrets.

  • Save Admin Time

    Automate the readiness cleanup process instead of checking data folders one by one for weeks.

  • Pass Audits

    Show clear proof that you secured your data and checked permissions before rolling out AI.

  • Reduce Noise

    Give Copilot better, cleaner data so it gives your teams better and more relevant content.

"We discovered Copilot could access files buried deep in legacy SharePoint sites. Things no one had touched in years. 1Security showed our security teams exactly where the exposure of sensitive data was before anything went live."

Information Security Officer, European Research Institute

"Finding which drives to delete or secure in an organization with over 5,000 users was unrealistic before. 1Security made it possible to see the mess and fix it instantly."

IT Director, Logistics Enterprise

"We had billions of sharing links and no way to analyze them. 1Security gave us a clear map of our risks, so we could sleep at night knowing our data was safe."

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product.

  • Will Copilot see my private files?

    If your permissions allow "Everyone" to see them, yes. Copilot respects existing access controls, so 1Security helps you tighten those rules first to keep private data private.

  • How do I fix oversharing quickly?

    1Security highlights data shared with "Everyone" or "Guests" in a single dashboard. You can revoke those bad links instantly without digging through every folder.

  • Does 1Security block Copilot?

    No. We help you configure Microsoft 365, so Copilot works safely. We ensure it only accesses data that is safe for general consumption.

  • How long does the readiness assessment take?

    The initial scan is very fast. You can see your biggest risks, like exposed sensitive data or open links, in minutes rather than weeks.

  • Can I check guest access?

    Yes. You can see exactly what external guests can access. This prevents vendors or former partners from using AI to search your internal data.

  • Do you support ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR work?

    Yes. 1Security maps findings and evidence to common control frameworks, helping organizations demonstrate compliance more efficiently.

  • Can non-technical stakeholders use it?

    Yes. Plain-language reports and read-only views make it easy for compliance, legal, and business stakeholders to see the evidence behind findings without needing admin rights.

  • Is this only for large enterprises?

    No. While designed for complex environments, 1Security is equally valuable for mid-sized organizations running Microsoft 365 or Office 365 that need strong visibility into access, activity, and compliance.

Gain visibility. Ensure compliance. Boost productivity.

Stop guessing who has access to your sensitive data. With 1Security, you gain the visibility, automation, and confidence needed to protect your Microsoft 365 environment.
