Microsoft Copilot deployment
Before the wide deployment of Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Studio, it is crucial to strengthen governance. We assess your Microsoft 365 environment and categorize sensitive data. Additionally, we set up DLP policies and apply security controls for Copilot.
- Copilot readiness assessment: data classification, oversharing audit, sensitivity labels.
- Copilot Studio custom agent development for business-specific workflows.
- ROI tracking and adoption measurement post-deployment.
- Ongoing Copilot governance through Microsoft Purview.
AI governance and risk management
Deploying AI without governance creates regulatory and reputational risk.
We build AI governance frameworks aligned to NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and
industry-specific regulations for CA organizations.
- AI system inventory and risk classification.
- BYOAI policy design and enforcement.
- Model risk management framework implementation.
- EU AI Act and HIPAA compliance for applicable organizations.
