Get Microsoft 365 ready before you switch on Copilot

Copilot for Microsoft 365 can only see what each user can already see. That sounds safe, until you remember how many SharePoint sites, Teams channels and shared OneDrive folders are open to far more people than they should be. Switch Copilot on in a tenant like that and it can surface salary files, board papers or client data to staff who were never meant to find them, simply by being asked a question.

CARE's Copilot readiness service reviews your Microsoft 365 permissions and data hygiene first, so Copilot does not surface files staff should not see, and then supports licensing and rollout.

What the Copilot readiness review covers

• Permissions. Who can access which SharePoint sites, Teams and OneDrive files, and where access is wider than it needs to be.
• Oversharing. Files shared with everyone in the company, or with external guests, that should not be.
• Data hygiene. Old, duplicated and unowned content that Copilot would happily pull into an answer.
• A clear fix list. What to tighten before Copilot goes live, in order of risk.

Licensing and rollout support

• Licensing. Help choosing who needs a Copilot licence and getting it set up on your Microsoft 365 plan.
• A sensible rollout. Start with a pilot group, learn what works, then widen access.
• Staff guidance. Practical help so people know what Copilot is good for and how to use it safely.

Frequently asked questions

What is Copilot readiness?
It is the work you do before switching on Copilot for Microsoft 365: checking permissions and data so Copilot only surfaces what each person should see, and planning licensing and rollout.

Why does Copilot need a permissions review?
Copilot answers using the files and messages each user already has access to. If access is too wide, Copilot can bring sensitive files into an answer for the wrong person.

Do all staff need a Copilot licence?
Not usually. Many businesses start with the people who will get the most from it. We help you decide who needs one.

Can you help after Copilot is switched on?
Yes. We support the rollout, help staff use it well, and keep your Microsoft 365 permissions in good shape.
