Use Cases

Microsoft Copilot Privacy Policy

Deploying Copilot without a privacy check is like giving a super-enthusiastic intern a master key to every file cabinet in the office. They will find everything, including the salary spreadsheet and the CEO’s drafts. And they will happily summarize it for anyone who asks. 1Security ensures your AI assistant only reads what it is supposed to.

Copilot's exact file permissions and exposure across all users

What is the challenge?

  • Oversharing

    Microsoft 365 files shared broadly are instantly accessible to Copilot, surfacing personal data that should remain private.

  • Hidden Sensitive Data

    Personally identifiable information or financial data buried in folders often appear in Copilot responses.

  • Permission Sprawl

    Years of changes make permissions complicated, and built-in Microsoft tools struggle to fix them.

  • Lack of Visibility

    You cannot easily see where sensitive data lives across Microsoft 365 and who has direct access to view it.

  • Regulatory Exposure

    Rolling out generative AI without data protection makes it difficult to follow regulations and privacy laws.

Solving It with Other Methods

Manual checks turn into click-marathons, while strict controls suffocate collaboration. Either way, risks slip through. Broad policies never catch the odd little leaks Copilot is almost guaranteed to spotlight.

  • Manual Perm Reviews

    Asking owners to check permissions via email is slow, unreliable and practically impossible at scale.

  • Broad Restrictions

    Locking down entire SharePoint sites hinders collaboration and defeats the purpose of having an AI assistant.

  • Native Audit Logs

    Sifting through raw Microsoft 365 logs is time-consuming and lacks the context needed to spot privacy gaps.

  • User Training

    Relying solely on employees to label documents correctly inevitably leads to human error and data leaks.

Benefits

Why Microsoft Copilot Privacy Policy Matters?

1Security keeps Copilot’s curiosity in check, turning your privacy rules into real boundaries instead of polite suggestions. You get to roll out AI without that tiny voice asking if sensitive files are about to wander into the mix.

  • Ensure Compliance

    Align AI adoption with General Data Protection Regulation, HIPAA, and EU Data Boundary rules by strictly controlling data access.

  • Prevent Data Leaks

    Stop Microsoft Copilot from surfacing sensitive data to unauthorized users.

  • Build User Trust

    Employees embrace AI faster when they know their private drafts and personal data are safe from prying algorithms.

  • Reduce Cleanup Time

    Automate the discovery of bad permissions instead of spending months manually auditing folders.

  • Safe Innovation

    Unlock the full productivity power of Microsoft 365 Copilot without fearing a catastrophic privacy incident.

"We discovered Microsoft Copilot could access files buried deep in legacy SharePoint sites. 1Security showed our security teams exactly where the exposure of sensitive data was before anything went live."

Information Security Officer, European Research Institute

"Finding drives to delete data or restrict access in an organization with over 5000 employees is unrealistic without this tool. It saved us months of data retention work."

IT Manager, Large Enterprise

"1Security helped us analyze accessible links that we considered unfeasible to track. It ensured our Microsoft Copilot privacy policy was not just a document, but a reality."

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product.

  • How does 1Security help with Microsoft Copilot privacy policy enforcement?

    We scan your Microsoft 365 environment to find overshared files and sensitive data so you can make sure Copilot only accesses content that aligns with your internal privacy rules.

  • Can we see which files Copilot will be able to access?

    Yes. 1Security provides visibility into permission structures. You can identify exactly which documents are open to everyone and might surface in Copilot answers.

  • Does this tool fix the permissions for us?

    1Security identifies the risks and provides tools to correct them. You can manage permissions and revoke access to specific resources directly through our platform.

  • Will 1Security slow down Copilot's performance?

    No. Our scanning and monitoring happen in the background. Your users will experience full Copilot speed without any latency or interruption.

  • How fast can we audit our environment for AI readiness?

    Our demo shows capabilities in under five minutes. For a full audit, 1Security processes data rapidly, saving you the months it would take to do a manual review.

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

  • Can non-technical stakeholders use it?
