Data boundaries before Copilot goes live.
Copilot only surfaces what users are already permitted to access. We audit your Microsoft 365 permissions, apply sensitivity labels, and configure DLP policies before a single Copilot licence is activated.
Every data boundary control, properly configured.
We configure every layer of Microsoft 365 data governance before Copilot deployment so your AI investment does not create a data risk.
Permissions Audit
We audit every SharePoint site, OneDrive folder, and Teams channel to identify overly permissive access before Copilot can surface content inappropriately.
Sensitivity Label Deployment
Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels applied to documents, emails, and sites. Copilot respects these labels and will not surface content above a user's clearance level.
Data Loss Prevention Policies
DLP policies configured to prevent Copilot from generating outputs that contain regulated data such as financial records, personal data, or client-confidential information.
Entra ID Group Configuration
User groups in Microsoft Entra ID reviewed and restructured to ensure Copilot licence assignments align with data access permissions and business roles.
Guest Access Review
External guest access to SharePoint and Teams reviewed and tightened. Guest users are excluded from Copilot scope to prevent unintended data exposure.
Compliance Framework Alignment
Data boundary configuration aligned with your existing compliance frameworks including ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, and sector-specific regulations.
Audit to deployment. No gaps left open.
Microsoft 365 Environment Scan
We run a comprehensive scan of your Microsoft 365 tenant to map all SharePoint sites, Teams channels, and OneDrive folders with their current permission levels.
Risk Identification
Overly permissive sites, broken inheritance chains, and guest access anomalies are identified and documented. We prioritise by data sensitivity and business risk.
Sensitivity Label Rollout
Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels designed and deployed across your document estate. Auto-labelling policies configured for new content created after deployment.
DLP Policy Configuration
Data loss prevention policies configured in Microsoft Purview to govern what Copilot can and cannot surface or generate based on content classification.
Boundary Validation Testing
We test Copilot against your configured boundaries to verify that sensitive content is not surfaced to unauthorised users before full deployment begins.
Governance Documentation
Full documentation of your data boundary configuration, label taxonomy, and DLP policies provided for audit purposes and ongoing governance reviews.
Data boundary configuration for regulated UK sectors.
Legal Services Firm
A regional law firm needed to deploy Copilot without risking client matter data being surfaced across the organisation. SRA compliance was non-negotiable.
Matter-specific SharePoint permissions configured. Sensitivity labels applied to 8,000 client documents. Copilot deployed with zero cross-matter data exposure.
Healthcare Provider
A private healthcare group needed to ensure patient data held in SharePoint could not be surfaced by Copilot to administrative staff without clinical clearance.
Patient record sites isolated with strict permission boundaries. DLP policies configured for clinical data. ICO compliance maintained throughout deployment.
Financial Services Firm
An FCA-regulated firm needed to demonstrate to auditors that Copilot could not surface client portfolio data to staff outside the relevant client relationship team.
Client-specific SharePoint sites restructured with role-based access. Audit trail documentation provided. FCA audit passed with no data governance findings.
