Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365): Export Copilot metrics in the Copilot Dashboard

🚨 The Signal: Admins can now export raw Copilot usage metrics from the dashboard. This provides deeper insights into Copilot adoption and data interaction, crucial for governance and identifying potential data overexposure risks.

The Impact

Security teams and data governance officers are affected, with a moderate risk of identifying previously unknown data exposure vectors.

  • Security Teams: Risk of discovering unmanaged data access patterns.
  • Data Governance Officers: Risk of non-compliance due to unmonitored data flows.
  • Compliance Teams: Risk of audit findings if data usage isn't properly tracked.

The Action

  1. Navigate to the Microsoft 365 admin center.
  2. Go to 'Reports' > 'Copilot Dashboard'.
  3. Utilise the export functionality to retrieve row-level metrics.
  4. Analyse exported data for unusual access patterns or sensitive data interactions.
  5. Review existing data governance policies against Copilot usage patterns.
