Use Case: Copilot for Microsoft Content Risk Management

Microsoft 365 Copilot is rapidly adopted across Office, Windows, Edge, and Business Chat, driving productivity but heightening data leakage risks. With its deep integration into corporate systems, controlling Copilot’s inputs and outputs is vital for security, compliance, and trust.

Beyond Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft 365 underpins enterprise collaboration, but its scale creates security gaps traditional DLP tools cannot close—especially across Mail, SharePoint, and collaboration flows. While many use Purview, organizations demand more accurate, contextual classification to reduce friction. Risks span both upstream (sensitive data reaching LLMs) and downstream (confidential data generated or shared via Copilot).

To ensure the best results, a holistic approach is needed with a centralized governance plane that can consistently control the information available to Copilot via the reach of the Microsoft Graph (upstream control) and the content generated by Copilot and made available to the user and the recipients of the content (downstream control).

Bonfy addresses both sides of the challenge with comprehensive coverage across the Microsoft environment, dramatically bolstering security for organizations scaling Microsoft Copilot usage. The final product must be analyzed for adherence to company policies, regulations, and protection of sensitive data as GenAI can introduce risky input like hallucinogenic content.

Bonfy's Adaptive Content Security™ (Bonfy ACS™) monitors and highlights security and compliance issues in content generated using GenAI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot or the data that is made available as an input to such tools. Our latest release delivers deep, native integration across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, empowering enterprise IT and security teams to unlock the full potential of Microsoft's collaboration and identity stack, removing blind spots and noise while ensuring sensitive data is protected in real time.

Comprehensive Microsoft 365 Integration

Strategic Placement: Deployed alongside content creation and sharing throughout the Microsoft ecosystem, it analyzes all content available via the Microsoft graph to Microsoft Copilot, enabling tighter access control and contextual sensitivity labels, and monitors the generated content at the time of sharing (via email or file sharing), to ensure no policies are being violated. Functionality enhancements include:

Microsoft Mail: Real-time detection and prevention of data risks in outbound, inbound and internal email. Support includes analysis of email body and attachments, and can be conducted inline or offline of the corporate mail flow.
Microsoft SharePoint: Continuous monitoring of data at rest with real-time streaming analysis whenever content or permissions change, ensuring persistent oversight without performance degradation.
Microsoft Entra: Integrated identity and access governance, correlating content access with user risk profiles to detect insider threats or oversharing.
Microsoft Purview: Automated, contextual data labeling and classification to support AI readiness, compliance mandates, and sensitive information workflows directly within Microsoft's data governance framework.

Intelligence Built for Microsoft Workflows

Proactive Risk Management: Leveraging Bonfy's GenAI-powered security engine, the platform augments the Microsoft 365 environment with contextual intelligence and alerts reviewers to risky content, enabling necessary changes before it reaches its intended audience.
