For many organizations, content in M365 SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive has evolved organically since SharePoint’s initial deployment. This organic growth presents two significant challenges.

First, there is often a considerable amount of redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) content that could provide Co-Pilot with outdated information, leading to inaccurate or misleading results.

Second, permissions for content within these collaboration platforms are frequently not tightly managed, leading to over-sharing. This lack of control may inadvertently expose sensitive data through Co-Pilot.

Organizations must address these two major risks when preparing for the deployment of Co-Pilot to ensure effective and secure use of the platform.
