Keeping Copilot Confidential: How Cognni AI Safeguards Sensitive Data in Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 Copilot is a powerful AI assistant designed to boost your productivity. But with great power comes great responsibility, especially when it comes to accessing and processing sensitive information.

Copilot's ability to peek into your emails, documents, and files raises concerns about the potential exposure of confidential data. This is where Cognni AI steps in, acting as your trusted guardian to ensure Copilot stays on the straight and narrow when it comes to data privacy.

The Sensitivity Challenge:

Copilot's core function involves analyzing your content to provide helpful suggestions and automate tasks. While this is certainly valuable, it also means it has access to potentially sensitive information like financial reports, client contracts, and internal communications.

Sharing such information with Copilot, even for its intended purposes, can be risky. Traditional solutions involve manually classifying and labeling sensitive data, a tedious and error-prone process. But what if there was a smarter way?

Enter Cognni AI: The AI-Powered information understanding:

Cognni AI takes a different approach. It leverages advanced AI algorithms to automatically identify and classify sensitive data across your entire Microsoft 365 environment. This includes files, emails, documents, and more.

Cognni AI doesn't just find sensitive data; it also understands its nature. It can distinguish between different types of sensitive information, such as financial data, Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and intellectual property.

Automatic Protection for Copilot:

Once sensitive data is identified and classified, Cognni AI seamlessly integrates with Microsoft 365 to apply appropriate sensitivity labels. These labels act as digital flags, alerting Copilot and other applications to the sensitive nature of the information.

With these labels in place, Copilot can still function effectively, but it does so with the utmost respect for data privacy. It tailors its responses and actions to avoid exposing or processing sensitive information in any way. This significantly reduces the risk of accidental data leaks or unauthorized access.

Beyond Copilot: Broader Data Security:

Cognni AI’s value extends beyond protecting Copilot. Its comprehensive data security solution offers a range of benefits, including:

• Deeper data insights: Gain a clear understanding of the types and locations of sensitive data within your organization.
• Enhanced compliance: Simplify compliance with data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA.
• Reduced security risks: Proactively identify and mitigate potential data breaches and security threats.

Empowering Your Digital Workplace:

By leveraging Cognni AI's autonomous data understanding, you can unlock the full potential of Microsoft 365 Copilot while safeguarding your sensitive information. This creates a win-win situation: increased productivity without compromising data privacy.
