Everyone is worried about what Copilot and AI agents can access. But how well do you actually know your own data?

Years of oversharing, forgotten SharePoint sites, excessive permissions and sensitive documents sitting in the wrong places haven't suddenly become new problems. AI has just made them harder to ignore.

And blocking Copilot won't fix any of it.

In this session, we'll look at how to get your data under control using Microsoft Purview, SharePoint and Defender for Cloud Apps.

We'll go through how to identify sensitive data, find oversharing, clean up permissions, introduce sensible sensitivity labels and use DLP to protect information without making everyday collaboration impossible.

We'll also look at what you need to keep monitoring after the initial clean-up. Because data governance isn't something you configure once and then forget about.

No complicated frameworks or endless governance discussions. Just practical steps, configuration examples and the things you should check before giving AI access to your environment.
