Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365): Create the perfect banner for your document with Copilot and Designer

🚨 The Signal: Copilot in Word now integrates with Designer to create document banners. This introduces new AI-generated content into documents, increasing potential for data leakage or inappropriate content generation if not governed.

The Impact

End users are affected by new AI content generation capabilities, increasing the risk of inadvertent data exposure or policy violations.

  • End users: Risk of generating banners with sensitive data if prompts include it.
  • Security teams: Increased surface area for data leakage through AI-generated visuals.
  • Compliance teams: New challenge in monitoring and auditing AI-generated content for policy adherence.

The Action

  1. Review and update existing Microsoft 365 Copilot data governance policies to include AI-generated visual content.
  2. Educate end users on responsible prompting practices, emphasizing not to include sensitive information in prompts for visual generation.
  3. Monitor Microsoft Purview audit logs for Copilot activities related to document creation and content generation.
  4. Consider implementing Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to detect and prevent sensitive information in AI-generated visuals.
