PowerPoint: Async Notifications for Copilot in PowerPoint

🚨 The Signal: Copilot in PowerPoint will now provide asynchronous notifications, allowing users to receive updates on Copilot's progress even when offline or on different devices. This enhances user experience but requires vigilance over data handling.

The Impact

All users leveraging Copilot in PowerPoint are affected, with a low security risk related to notification data exposure.

• End users: May receive sensitive data in notifications on unmanaged devices.
• Security teams: Need to understand notification data flow and potential exposure.
• Admins: Should review existing data loss prevention policies for notification content.
• Compliance teams: Must assess if notification content aligns with data handling policies.

The Action

1. Review Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies for Copilot-generated content.
2. Educate users on the types of information that may appear in Copilot notifications.
3. Assess device management policies for handling notifications on unmanaged endpoints.
4. Monitor Microsoft 365 audit logs for Copilot activity and notification events.
