Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365): Copilot uses Enterprise assets hosted on Templafy when creating presentations with Copilot

🚨 The Signal: Copilot can now use Templafy-hosted enterprise assets for presentation generation. This expands Copilot's data access, increasing the attack surface for sensitive corporate branding and content, requiring careful data governance.

The Impact

Security teams and data owners are affected by increased data exposure risk through Copilot's access to Templafy assets.

  • Security Teams: Risk of data exfiltration or unauthorized access to Templafy assets via Copilot.
  • Data Owners: Potential for sensitive branding or intellectual property to be misused or exposed.
  • Compliance Officers: Need to update data handling policies to cover Copilot's new data access paths.
  • IT Administrators: Must ensure secure configuration of Templafy integration with Microsoft 365 and Copilot.

The Action

  1. Review Templafy connector configuration in Microsoft 365 to restrict access to only necessary asset libraries.
  2. Implement data loss prevention (DLP) policies in Microsoft Purview to monitor and prevent unauthorized sharing of Templafy-sourced content generated by Copilot.
  3. Educate users on responsible use of Copilot when generating content from enterprise assets, emphasizing data sensitivity.
  4. Regularly audit Copilot usage logs for unusual access patterns to Templafy-hosted content.
  5. Ensure Templafy security configurations align with Microsoft 365 security best practices and ISM controls.
