Govern Copilot around the work it can reach.

Practical guides to source access, connected actions, data handling and human review across the Microsoft Copilot experiences your organisation uses.

Start with three boundaries

Review source permissions, sensitive content and the actual data path.

Identify tools, identities, permitted operations and required approvals.

Test the controls and retain proportionate evidence of observable activity.

Implementation questions and current primary sources, without assuming that a product licence establishes compliance.

Review source access, sensitive content, connected tools and records across the Copilot surfaces your organisation actually uses.

Separate privacy, sector rules, AI regulation and internal policy before deciding which controls and evidence a Copilot deployment needs.

Choose a bounded starting point by examining information sensitivity, action authority and the consequence of an error.

Give Copilot a clear task and useful evidence while keeping access, validation and approval in the surrounding system.
