Microsoft 365 Copilot Deployment and Governance.

Are you prepared for Copilot? What happens if your staff prompts Copilot for sensitive data, such as executive salary packages or a planned restructure?

The diagram depicts steps for a secure and productive Copilot. The steps in order are Licensing Strategy, Data Security Assessment, Proof-of-Concept, and Production roll-out. All steps are underpinned by M365 built-in tools of SAM and Purview DSPM.

Secure and productive Copilot

SAVERA follows Microsoft’s latest best practice guidance for deploying and governing Copilot. We assess your environment using built-in tools such as SharePoint Advanced Management (SAM) and Purview Data Security Posture Management (DSPM). Based on a thorough analysis of your requirements, we design a tailored rollout plan that aligns with your timelines and budget—while ensuring robust data security, privacy, and governance.

Core Deliverables

  1. Copilot Licensing Strategy
    We help determine the most suitable licensing model for your organisation—whether it's per-user Microsoft 365 Copilot plans or the Pay-as-you-go Copilot Chat subscription—based on usage requirements and budget considerations.

  2. Data Security Assessment
    We evaluate your existing M365 environment to identify risks such as oversharing—where sensitive content is broadly accessible due to open permissions, yet mistakenly considered secure because it's not widely known. This “security by obscurity” is addressed through targeted remediation.

  3. Proof-of-Concept (PoC)
    A PoC is essential to validate Copilot within your environment using defined guardrails:

    • Users: A cross-functional team including IT, Security, Legal, and Privacy.

    • Data: Controlled access to either the full SharePoint estate or selected sites.

    • Agents: Identification and configuration of Copilot agents to enable or disable.

    • Audit & Reporting: Activation of monitoring tools to track usage, interactions, and uncover potential security or privacy vulnerabilities.

  4. Production Roll-Out
    Full-scale rollout to a broader user base, supported by comprehensive training and documentation to ensure adoption and responsible usage.

  5. Operational Handover
    Transition to your internal teams for ongoing support, with clear operational guidelines and governance controls in place.
