Reduce Risk & Secure Your Data for Microsoft Copilot With BigID
Generative AI tools like Microsoft Copilot have revolutionized organizations through improved automation and efficiency. But with great power comes great responsibility. Copilot ingests data across all of Office 365, which if left unsupervised, can lead to the use of sensitive and regulated data outside of its given purpose. This can result in data leaks and non-compliance with major regulations.
BigID solves this by enabling you to find and classify ALL of your data - accurately and at scale for structured and unstructured data. Train Copilot on only data that is safe to use and remediate potential risks with automated policy management and access controls. Reduce risk and improve accuracy by properly tagging sensitive data to exclude and minimizing duplicate, similar, and redundant data.

Securing Microsoft 365 with BigID
Extend data security and governance to Microsoft Copilot
While Copilot has helped many organizations improve efficiency, it also comes with new risks. The recent data leak to GitHub from Microsoft themselves highlight the importance of only training Copilot on data that is safe to use. O365 contains large sets of unstructured data: words, documents, emails, files, sheets, and more. Traditional tools only operate on structured data and have no visibility.
Copilot is only as good as the data it's trained on. Without knowing what data you are feeding it, it can lead to sensitive, personal, regulated, and outdated or irrelevant information being used. With BigID, you can find and define exactly what data sets you want to train Copilot on and ensure that it won't compromise data security or privacy.
5 Reasons Why You Should Choose BigID
Coverage
Find and define exactly what data sets are safe to use for Copilot and reduce the risk of sensitive data leaks. Go beyond Microsoft with support for 100’s of data sources and types - unstructured or structured, on-prem or across the cloud. Accelerate insights and eliminate blind spots with Auto-Discovery.
Classification
Make it easy to identify and label sensitive and regulated data that is not safe to use for Copilot. Combines regular expression (RegEx) with advanced, AI and ML-based techniques to classify more data types, more accurately, at scale. Deploy hundreds of OOB classifiers. Build your tailored composite classifiers. Train your own NLP and deep learning classification models.
Retention
Automatically remove redundant and outdated data to ensure Copilot is only trained on the most up-to-date and accurate data that is safe to use. Enforce retention policies to stay compliant with regulations.
Access
Identify overexposed data and overprivileged users within Office 365 and ensure that Copilot access is limited to data that is safe to use. Establish polices to monitor and automate access controls and remediation potential violations.
Integrations
Open and API-first platform that integrates with and enriches the existing tech stack. Seamlessly coordinate security and risk remediation workflows across the right tools. Our partners include ServiceNow, Palo Alto Networks, Splunk, Snowflake, Microsoft, Google, AWS, and more.
Reduce the Risk of Copilot by Uncovering Dark Data
Automatically find and classify your most sensitive, critical, and high-priority data - wherever it lives.
BigID makes it easy to identify and label sensitive data that is not safe to use for Copilot. Get unmatched data discovery and classification to find and label sensitive data: whether it's critical, regulated, personal, secrets, passwords, IP, financial, or more. Get more accurate results for unstructured and structured data every time with ML-driven data classification - across O365 and your entire data landscape (from on-prem to cloud to everywhere in between).


Advanced Classification for Sensitive Data
Achieve unparalleled accuracy and scalability in data classification for Copilot
Go beyond traditional pattern-matching and regular expression (RegEx) with advanced, trainable ML and NLP-based classification. BigID enables you to classify, label, tag, and flag data by type, regulation, sensitivity, and purpose of use, making it easy to define and only train Copilot on appropriate sets of data that are low risk, relevant, and drive accurate results.
Create custom classifiers that can be tailored specifically to your unique data environment. Test and fine-tune them before deployment to enhance accuracy and mitigate the number of false positives. Label and tag all of your data using a single unified classification ruleset.
Train Copilot Only On Safe-to-Use Data
Define which data sets are safe for training and govern the data that goes into Copilot. BigID can help you find, filter, and govern both structured data and unstructured data, so you know exactly what data you are feeding Copilot.
Automatically flag when there is sensitive or regulated data where there shouldn't be. Leverage policies to manage your data and monitor for potential risks in your data catalog.


Enforce Retention Policies and Workflows
Minimize ROT data and train Copilot only on relevant and up-to-date data through policy-driven retention management.
Remove redundant and outdated data to minimize your attack surface and train Copilot on the most up-to-date and accurate data that is safe to use.
Set retention policies and identify what data to delete, when to delete it, and what data to retain. Automate policy management to identify data, apply policies, take action, and audit for compliance.
Enable Zero Trust Across Your Microsoft Environment
Restrict Copilot and user access to system components and sensitive data
Reduce risk by managing access to sensitive and critical data. Easily find over-permissioned and over-exposed data across your entire data landscape: mitigate unauthorized use, reduce the risk of data leaks or breaches, and get to a least privileged permissions model for zero trust for Copilot.
Use the Access Intelligence App and ML-based insight to automatically identify, flag, investigate, and prioritize overexposed data – then revoke access rights to reduce the risk of data leakage.
