Rubrik DSPM for Microsoft 365 Copilot launches

As organisations and their volume of Microsoft 365 data grow, protecting sensitive data and managing access have become even more important. The need for strong security and governance practices is only intensified as more organisations leverage powerful AI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Rubrik, Inc. announces Rubrik Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) for Microsoft 365 Copilot to provide greater visibility and control of sensitive data, reduce the risk of exposure, and empower organisations to quickly and securely adopt Copilot.

Data security posture

”Organisations are facing significant pressure when it comes to improving the security of their rapidly growing data,” said Mike Tornicasa, Chief Business Officer at Rubrik.

“Rubrik DSPM for Microsoft 365 Copilot helps safeguard those business-critical assets, allowing organisations to leverage the power of innovative tools like Copilot while maintaining a strong data security posture and ensuring cyber recovery–all within a comprehensive cyber resilience platform.”

To ensure Copilot surfaces only data that users have permission to view, it follows the same data access controls

Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI-powered assistant that generates answers anchored in an organisation’s business content to deliver highly relevant and contextual responses.

To ensure Copilot surfaces only data that users have permission to view, it follows the same data access controls already in place in Microsoft 365. Misconfigurations in these controls could lead to the exposure of sensitive data to unauthorised users.

Data visibility

To help mitigate this risk, Rubrik DSPM for Microsoft 365 Copilot is designed to provide the data visibility and control needed to ensure sensitive data is correctly classified, labeled, and segmented – and has the right access permissions.

This enables organisations to leverage the power of Copilot while securing sensitive data from the risk of exposure. 

Key benefits of Rubrik DSPM for Microsoft 365 Copilot

• Prepare the Microsoft 365 environment for secure Copilot adoption: Gain visibility and control of the Microsoft 365 data to help minimise privacy and governance risks, readying the environment for a Copilot rollout with an enhanced security posture.
• Identify high-risk access permissions: Detect sensitive files with public or organisation-wide access so users can remediate excessive permissions and prevent the exposure of sensitive data to unauthorised users when leveraging Copilot.
• Ensure accurate data labeling: Identify and remediate missing or inaccurate data sensitivity labels to help prevent unauthorised user access to sensitive data when using Copilot.
