Six Key Areas of Copilot Permissions Readiness
Permissions Visibility
Evaluate your ability to see who has access to what across SharePoint, reducing unknown risks and increasing transparency.
Oversharing & Risk
Identify where excessive or historic permissions may allow unintended access, and reveal oversharing blind spots that Copilot could expose.
External Access & Sharing
Assess your control and oversight of guest users, external sharing links, and collaboration outside your organisation.
Site Owner Governance
Measure how consistently site owners manage permissions, ensuring ownership is clear and governance is distributed—not just reliant on central IT.
Remediation Capability
Understand your organisation's ability to quickly remediate risky permissions at scale, including removing outdated or unnecessary access.
Continuous Access Governance
Gauge how effectively your organisation monitors, reviews, and improves permissions governance over time to prevent risks from reappearing.
