Format | Full-day Workshop
Location | Farnborough
Date | 17 October 2025
Description:
This full-day workshop guides IT leaders, architects, sponsors and business leaders through the journey from uncontrolled data sprawl to confident, secure Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption. Generative AI is transforming collaboration, but it also introduces new risks around oversharing, compliance, and measurement. The one day workshop provides a practical blueprint for securing content, reducing risk, and enabling responsible Copilot use.
You will learn how Copilot works in enterprise environments, including how permissions and data governance underpin trustworthy responses. The workshop covers workspace governance, advanced SharePoint management, and strategies to identify and remediate oversharing. Attendees will explore Microsoft Purview controls such as sensitivity labels, auto-labelling, and data loss prevention (DLP) policies, including how to protect sensitive data and manage access across SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive.
The session addresses how to measure Copilot and generative AI adoption, impact, and risk using built-in analytics and reporting tools. You will discover how to use Defender for Cloud Apps to identify shadow AI usage, apply Endpoint DLP to block unsanctioned sharing, and leverage dashboards to track business value and compliance posture.
Key topics include:
- Data Security – Sensitivity labels, DLP, and Purview DSPM for AI to protect sensitive and regulated data
- Information Governance – SharePoint Advanced Management and Copilot Management Controls to prevent oversharing and shadow AI
- Reporting and Insights – Defender for Cloud Apps, DSPM for AI, Microsoft 365 usage reports, and Viva Insights Copilot Analytics to measure adoption and risk
- Strategic Vision – The importance of setting a clear AI strategy, establishing an AI Council, and involving the right stakeholders to guide responsible adoption
Target audience:
CISOs, cloud architects, Microsoft 365 platform owners, compliance managers, SharePoint and Teams administrators, and security engineers in enterprise organisations
Practical takeaways:
- A step-by-step readiness plan for Copilot deployment
- Tools and policies to secure data and prevent oversharing
- Methods to measure adoption, risk, and business impact
- Guidance on building governance frameworks and aligning technical and human change
- Insights into licensing requirements for advanced security features

Workspace Governance and
Managing Oversharing Risks
What Do We Mean By Workspaces
•Workspaces are:
oSharePoint Sites
oMicrosoft 365 Groups (email based)
oTeams
SharePoint Search
SharePoint : Restricted SharePoint Search – Upto
100 Sites in Scope
•Restricted SharePoint Search allows you to disable organization-wide search, and to restrict both Enterprise
Search and Copilot experiences to a curated set of SharePoint sites of your choice, plus recently accessed
content, user owned content e.g. OneDrive email etc

SAM:DataAccess Governance (DAG)Reports for SharePoint
and OneDrive sites
Data access governance reports for SharePoint sites - SharePoint in Microsoft 365 | Microsoft Learn
SAM: DAG Reports – Sharing Links
•The sharing links reportactivity reports that helps you identify sites where users have created the most new
sharing links in the last 28 days. These reports are available for the following types of links:
o'Anyone' links
o'People in the organization' links
o'Specific people' links shared externally
Data access governance reports for SharePoint sites - SharePoint in Microsoft 365 | Microsoft Learn
SAM: DAG Reports – Content shared with Everyone
except external users
•'Everyone except external users' (EEEU) report is the other activity report that helps you identify sites where content has been shared with your entire
organization. EEEU is a built-in SharePoint group that automatically includes all internal users but excludes any external guests.

SharePoint Advanced Management –Manage Content Sprawl(Needs
One Copilot licence)
SAM: SharePoint Site Ownership Policies to set Minimum
Number of Owners
•Site ownership policies, help you automate the ownership of SharePoinmt sites. These policies run every month to identify sites that
don't comply with your ownership requirements. They automatically notify relevant users based on your configured settings, making it
easy to add new owners with minimal administrative overhead.
Create SharePoint site ownership policy - SharePoint in Microsoft 365 | Microsoft Learn
SAM:Site Lifecycle Management Policies toManage Inactive Sites
•The Inactive site policy runs monthly and automatically detect inactive sites and notify site owners via email.
Owners can then confirm if the site is still active.
•If the owner does not respond the policy can set the site to read only and also move thesite to M365 Archive

SAM: Restricted Content Discovery (RCD) for
SharePoint sites
•Limitthevisibilityofspecificcontentin:
oOrganisation-widesearches
oInteractionswithMicrosoft365Copilot
•User can still discover:
oContent they own
oContent they have recently interacted with (last 28 days)
•Note:
oThis does not impact users searching from within the site
oThis does not apply to OneDrive
oOveruse of Restricted Content Discovery can negatively affect
performance across search, SharePoint, and Copilot. Removing sites
or files from tenant-wide discovery means that there's less content
for search and Copilot to ground on, leading to inaccurate or
incomplete results.

Container sensitivity labels:
•Container sensitivity labels provide access controls and protect content in Microsoft 365 Groups, Teams and Sites
•The files in these workspaces do not inherit these labels. Content needs to be labelled with files and other data assets senstivity labels
•Container sensitivity labels need to be enabled before they can be configured
Use sensitivity labels with Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 Groups, and SharePoint sites | Microsoft Learn
Default sensitivity label on a Document Library (E5 Compliance)
•Prerequisites:
oEnable sensitivity labels for Office files in SharePoint and OneDrive.
•Default label applies to:
oNew content
oUnlabelled content uploaded to the site
oLabelled content uploaded to the site if the label has a lower priority
and was naot manually labelled by the user
•Default label is NOT applied to :
oRetrospecitively to existing content in the site
oRefer toConfigure a default sensitivity label for a SharePoint
document library | Microsoft Learn
Configure a default sensitivity label for a SharePoint document library | Microsoft Learn
Default sensitivity label on a Document Library: extend permissions
to downloaded documents (Preview) (E5 Compliance)
•Configure document libraries to extend the existing SharePoint site permissions to documents when they're downloaded from the
library. Then, any previously unlabeled files from that library continue to be protected with the current SharePoint permissions for the
user, even though the files have left the original SharePoint site.
•Only member of the site can access the encrypted content
•Works witha sensitivity label with the encryption : User defined permissions.
Configure SharePoint with a sensitivity label to extend permissions to downloaded documents | Microsoft Learn
Content Sensitivity labels – Prevent some connected experiences
that analyze content – Will
Block Copilot
•The setting lets you prevent content in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook from being sent to Microsoft for content analysis as a privacy
control. However, when it's set, it means that some services won't work as designed, such as data loss prevention policy tips for Outlook,
automatic and recommended labeling, and Microsoft 365 Copilot.
•Content can still be accessed via Copilot in other scenarios e.g. Teams
• Impacts other activities that need to inspect content.
Manage sensitivity labels in Office apps | Microsoft Learn
Content Sensitivity labels – Apply Encryption
•Two Options for Encryption
1.Assign permissions now
2.Let Users assign permissions
Apply encryption using sensitivity labels | Microsoft Learn
Encryption Permissions -Copilot needs EXTRACT and VIEW usage rights
•The usage right that grants permission to copy text isEXTRACT. It's this usage right that determines whether Copilot or agents can
display text to the user from encrypted content.
•When encrypted with the Admin defined permissions :
oThe Owner and Editor permissions allow access to display text from these documents
oThe Viewer permissions do not have Extract, so Copilot can see the content but cannt display the text to the user.
•For User defined Permissions, it depends whatpermissions the user select. Editor and Owner allow Copilot access

Microsoft Learn
Copilot will inherit the highest label of the source content
•Copilot experiences support useexisting controls to ensure that data stored in your tenant is never returnedto the user or used by a
large language model (LLM) if the user doesn't have access to that data.
•When the data hassensitivity labelsfrom your organization applied to the content, there's an extra layer of protection because Microsoft
365 Copilot inherits the highest sensitivity label from the source content it accesses or uses to generate responses.

•Helps you prevent items with specific sensitivity labels from being used in the response summarization to prompts in Microsoft 365
Copilot. To set this up, create DLP policies that use theMicrosoft 365 Copilotpolicy location with theContent contains>Sensitivity
labelscondition to exclude items from being processed. Identified items still appear in the citations of the response, but the content of
the item isn't used in the response.

I am new to Microsoft 365 and have just started a new role at a new
company. I have been tasked with preparing the organisation for rolling
out Copilot.
I am concerned that the content in M365 is not secured and governed
as well as it should be to provide responses that are trusted and
provide confidence in Copilot.
Provide me with a list of links that I can use to learn and share with my
team about tools and technologies I should use.
Reference learn.microsoft.com and adoption.microsoft.com and
