Enforcing Tenant Security and Deep Data Governance
Internal data sprawl is a new operational concern that arises when corporate tools like Copilot are used to address the problem of external data leakage. To contextualize its responses, Copilot scans an organization's internal files and emails. This implies that Copilot will exacerbate any chaotic, disorganized, or poorly managed Microsoft 365 data for your client.
An MSP must drastically tighten data access controls before releasing the keys to users. Because internal sharing permissions were left open, Copilot shouldn't inadvertently grab private HR files or restricted payroll data when an executive assistant asks a query.
The bright side is that tenant security and data governance aren't entirely novel ideas for MSPs; they're just being seen from a different perspective. This preparation work will be presented as an AI Readiness Audit by a clever supplier. This is how the workflow ought to appear:
- Audit & Alignment: Determine baseline compliance policies, develop best-practice configurations, and evaluate the existing M365 tenancy arrangement.
- Permissions Overhaul: Examine and limit internal file-sharing rights, establishing precise responsibilities and data limits for active workspaces.
- Information Protection: Implement stringent Conditional Access guidelines and automated sensitivity labelling to safeguard sensitive information.
The MSPs who emerge victorious in the AI race won't be the ones hurrying to activate licenses for each and every customer overnight to secure the RMM and PSA software deal but rather those who carry out a well-thought-out, extremely secure rollout will triumph.
