Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365): Edit your Copilot-generated PowerPoint presentation outline via Pages in Chat

🚨 The Signal: Copilot can now generate and allow editing of PowerPoint outlines in a chat interface before presentation creation. This increases the risk of sensitive data exposure through unmanaged content generation and collaboration.

The Impact

All users are affected, increasing the risk of sensitive information being generated and shared outside of established data governance policies.

• End Users: Increased risk of accidental oversharing of sensitive data.
• Security Teams: New challenge in monitoring and governing AI-generated content.
• Compliance Officers: Difficulty in ensuring data residency and access controls for interim content.
• Data Owners: Potential for sensitive information to be exposed in unmanaged chat contexts.

The Action

1. Review and enforce Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies for Copilot interactions.
2. Educate users on responsible AI use and data handling best practices when using Copilot for content generation.
3. Implement sensitivity labels for Copilot-generated content to ensure proper classification.
4. Monitor Copilot usage logs for unusual activity or high volumes of sensitive data interactions.
5. Evaluate existing information protection policies to ensure they extend to Copilot-generated outlines.
