Practical Data Governance and Security in the Microsoft GCC
The generative AI revolution is moving at breakneck speed, but for public sector and municipal organizations operating within the Microsoft Government Community Cloud (GCC), the reality is vastly more complex.
We cannot simply turn on M365 Copilot or deploy Azure AI agents without navigating a minefield of data governance, compliance mandates, and strict security perimeters.
This session cuts through the marketing hype to deliver a battle-tested blueprint for AI readiness in highly regulated environments. We will explore the architectural realities of preparing a GCC tenant for GenAI, focusing on the mandatory Zero Trust configurations, data classification prerequisites, and identity lifecycle frameworks required before the first Copilot prompt is ever executed. Designed for enterprise architects, security leaders, and IT professionals, this discussion will provide the exact policies and security controls needed to innovate safely in the public sector.
