Why this course

  • Fix oversharing first: Copilot surfaces everything a user can already reach. Most tenants are not ready for that.
  • Purview in practice: Labels, DLP and retention configured against Copilot specifically, not in the abstract.
  • Evidence, not assurances: Leave able to produce the audit trail a regulator or internal auditor will accept.
  • Admin-centre fluency: Operate the Copilot Control System with confidence rather than clicking hopefully.

Training objectives

  • Assess tenant readiness and identify blockers before a Copilot rollout
  • Diagnose and remediate oversharing across SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams
  • Apply sensitivity labels and information protection so Copilot respects classification
  • Configure data loss prevention policies covering Copilot interactions
  • Scope search and access to limit what Copilot can reach
  • Operate the Copilot Control System and admin centre controls day to day
  • Produce audit, eDiscovery and compliance evidence for Copilot activity
  • Plan licensing, phased deployment and ongoing operational review

Who will benefit

  • Microsoft 365 administrators and architects
  • Security, compliance and information governance teams
  • SharePoint and Teams administrators
  • IT leadership accountable for a Copilot rollout
