Session Abstract

Adopting successful Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) can be challenging and risky, especially with data risks, regulatory exposure, and managing sensitive information. Copilot raises the bar another notch. It's not just garbage in, garbage out; poor governance and control leads to immediate risk and probable compliance breaches. In this session, we will provide insider tips and quick wins, as well as useful resources, for building an effective GRC posture using the tools across the Microsoft cloud, including Microsoft Purview and other Microsoft 365 tools and services. We'll explain why Copilot is as scary as it is awesome. We will share real-world experiences on implementing effective GRC strategies and provide practical guidance on how to overcome key challenges organizations face with GRC and Copilot. 1. Discover why governance and data security are key factors for Microsoft 365 Copilot readiness and how they can improve your Copilot experience. 2. Assess your current governance, risk and compliance maturity level using the Microsoft 365 maturity model and find out what you need to do to close the gaps for Copilot readiness. 3. Follow the best practices for improving your Microsoft 365 data quality and data security to ensure that Copilot can deliver more accurate, relevant recommendations and safeguard your sensitive data.
