Session Abstract

AI-powered productivity with Microsoft 365 Copilot is accelerating rapidly, the real challenge is enabling innovation without losing control of data, compliance, and risk. This session focuses on how to strike that balance using native Microsoft Purview capabilities, providing a practical, implementation-ready approach tailored for UK organisations operating under GDPR and regulatory scrutiny. Rather than high-level theory, you’ll gain a clear governance architecture that ensures Copilot and AI workloads are deployed securely, with the right controls in place from day one. ✅ By attending, you will learn how to: Evaluate your tenant’s readiness for AI-driven workloads Identify data exposure risks before Copilot surfaces them Apply governance without blocking productivity Use native Purview controls in a way that aligns with real user behaviour Implement a layered protection model across M365 Combine classification, DLP, and audit into a cohesive security strategy Align M365 data governance with UK compliance expectations Support GDPR principles like data minimisation, protection, and accountability Operationalise governance for continuous control Move beyond deployment to ongoing monitoring and risk management
