Do you know if your Copilot use is secure? AI Copilot Reality Check

Do you know if your Copilot use is secure?

RUMOR?	TRUTH.
“Microsoft secures Copilot for us.”	Microsoft secures the infrastructure. Identity, data, and configuration are your responsibility.
“Our existing DLP covers it.”	DLP policies need explicit Copilot scoping. Legacy policies do not cover AI interactions.
“We have MFA, so we are fine.”	MFA reduces breach risk. It does not prevent overpermissioned Copilot queries from leaking data.
“We are not in a regulated industry.”	Even unregulated orgs face HR data exposure, M&A risk, and cyber insurance requirements.
“We will handle it after rollout.”	By rollout, Copilot is already querying data. Misconfiguration is live exposure, not future risk.
