Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365): Copilot Pages in Government Clouds

🚨 The Signal: Copilot Pages, allowing users to edit and share Copilot responses, is now available in government clouds. This expands collaborative AI content creation, increasing data sharing and potential for sensitive information exposure.

The Impact

Government cloud users are affected, increasing the risk of uncontrolled sharing of sensitive AI-generated content.

• End Users: Risk of oversharing sensitive AI-generated content.
• Security Teams: Increased surface area for data exfiltration and compliance breaches.
• Admins: New data flows to monitor and secure within the Copilot ecosystem.

The Action

1. Review and update existing data classification and sharing policies to include AI-generated content.
2. Educate users on responsible sharing practices for Copilot Pages, emphasizing data sensitivity.
3. Monitor Copilot usage logs for unusual sharing patterns or access to sensitive information.
4. Implement Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to detect and prevent sharing of sensitive data via Copilot Pages.
