Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365): Easily select a template while you create a new PowerPoint presentation with Copilot

🚨 The Signal: Copilot in PowerPoint now allows users to select organizational or Microsoft templates when creating new presentations. This improves brand consistency but requires vigilance over template security and data handling by AI.

The Impact

All users leveraging Copilot for PowerPoint are affected, with a low security risk related to potential data exposure if templates contain sensitive information or if AI processes data inappropriately.

• End-users: Risk of inadvertently exposing sensitive data if templates are not properly secured.
• Security Teams: Need to review data governance policies for Copilot's interaction with templates.
• Admins: Must ensure organizational templates are free of sensitive data and properly secured.

The Action

1. Review existing organizational PowerPoint templates for sensitive or proprietary information.
2. Ensure appropriate access controls are applied to template libraries used by Copilot.
3. Communicate best practices for using Copilot with templates to end-users, emphasizing data sensitivity.
4. Monitor Copilot usage logs for unusual activity related to template access or content generation.
