AI doesn’t fail because of bad prompts, it fails because your data isn’t ready. For most organizations, the biggest threat to a safe Copilot rollout is years of unchecked “over‑sharing” buried inside SharePoint and OneDrive. If your permissions are a mess, Copilot will surface it instantly.

This session gives you a clear, tactical blueprint for building a secure data foundation before AI starts indexing anything. We’ll show how Microsoft Purview and Defender for Cloud Apps work together to expose sensitive data piles, validate whether “private” is actually private, and enforce labeling at scale. No theory. No governance poetry. Just the structural work your environment needs before Copilot or other AI driven tools arrives.

If you want AI to respect your boundaries, you need to build boundaries worth respecting.
