Can Microsoft 365 Copilot see all of our data?

No. Copilot only uses information the signed-in person already has permission to open. The risk is that many people can open more than they should, which is why we fix sharing and permissions before rollout.

Is AI regulation mandatory in Australia?

There is no single AI law yet. Existing laws (privacy, consumer law, discrimination, directors’ duties) already apply to AI, and the government’s Guidance for AI Adoption sets out six practices it expects organisations to follow.

AI governance

Your staff already use AI. We help you adopt it safely: Microsoft 365 Copilot rolled out on clean permissions, a policy people follow, and AI risk your board can see.

AI governance

Why it matters

Staff already use AI, often through personal accounts, and client data goes with them. Microsoft 365 Copilot can show a person anything they can already open, so years of over-shared files become easy to find. Meanwhile attackers use AI to write better phishing and find weaknesses faster.

Our AI governance practice turns that into a plan: find the AI already in use, give staff an approved option, fix permissions before Copilot goes live and give your board clear ownership of AI risk. We work to the Australian Government’s Guidance for AI Adoption, and to ISO/IEC 42001 where you need a formal system.

What we do

Microsoft 365 Copilot implementation

Readiness, a permissions clean-up, sensitivity labels and a measured pilot, then a rollout your people actually use.

AI discovery and register

Find the AI tools already in use, who uses them and with what data, in one register you can keep current.

See the service

AI policy and approved tools

A short, usable policy and a set of approved tools, so staff have a safe option instead of a personal account.

Microsoft 365 Copilot implementation

Copilot can show a person anything they can already open. We clean up permissions and label sensitive data first, then roll it out in measured stages your people actually use.

AI security and governance

Use AI with confidence. We find the AI already in use, set sensible rules, test what you build and keep your data where it belongs.

Penetration testing

We break in on purpose, with your permission, then show you exactly how we did it and how to close every door we found.

Questions

Bans tend to push use into personal accounts you can’t see. A short policy plus an approved, secured tool usually reduces risk more than a ban.
