Microsoft 365 and Copilot
Your Microsoft 365 data, ready for Copilot.
Copilot answers from everything a user can reach. Cognni finds the sensitive files it shouldn't reach, labels them automatically for your DLP, and watches every Copilot data interaction.
Free assessment: a 30-minute setup, read-only, results in one week. Demo: 30 minutes, tailored to your environment.
- 400+ information types
- Native sensitivity labels
- Live in under 15 minutes
The rollout question
Can you switch Copilot on for everyone without it surfacing the salary file?
Most rollout plans check licenses and training. Few check what Copilot will actually be able to read.
Partial
Site permissions
Some sites have been reviewed. Years of sharing links and inherited access have not.
Blind spot
What's inside the files
Which of the files Copilot can reach are board material, contracts or salaries.
The readiness gap
Every Copilot rollout plan rests on four assumptions.
What the rollout plan assumes
What the tenant actually looks like
Permissions are right
“Everyone” links and broad site access, built up over years
Sensitive files are labeled
Most files have no label, or the wrong one
Purview policies will catch it
Policies act on labels, and the labels aren't there
Users will label new files
They won't, and Copilot creates new files every day
What Cognni does in Microsoft 365
Find it, label it, watch it.
Discover across Microsoft 365
Agentless discovery of unstructured data in SharePoint, OneDrive and Exchange, the same content Copilot draws its answers from.
Classify by meaning
Cognni's contextual AI recognizes 400+ information types out of the box and maps each file to HR, Legal, Financial, Personal, Governance or Business.
Label automatically for your DLP
Native sensitivity labels written back to your files, with up to 500% more label coverage. Purview, your other DLP tools and Copilot act on them.
Spot overexposed data
See which sensitive files are shared far wider than their content justifies, ranked by what matters most.
Track Copilot data interactions
Which files Copilot read, wrote, moved or deleted, what category of data they held, and how risky each interaction was.
Block and remediate with your DLP
Real-time alerts on risky activity. Blocking and remediation run through the DLP policies your team already manages, in Purview or another tool.
A safer Copilot rollout
Before, during and after you switch Copilot on.
-
Before rollout
Assess
Find the sensitive, overshared data Copilot would be able to reach, by department and category.
-
During rollout
Label
Apply sensitivity labels automatically so your DLP policies cover the content that matters, without a manual labeling project.
-
After rollout
Monitor
Watch Copilot's data interactions, get alerts on risky activity, and prove governance with audit-ready reports.

At the go-live review
The difference is what you can sign off on.
Without Cognni, go-live rests on
- A pilot group that found nothing obvious
- A permissions review of a handful of sites
- A labeling policy few files follow
- Hope that nobody asks the wrong question
With Cognni, you can show
- Every sensitive file Copilot can reach, by department and category
- Overshared files ranked, so the worst are fixed before rollout
- Labels applied automatically, so Purview has something to enforce
- Every Copilot data interaction tracked after go-live
Where it sits
It doesn't replace Purview. It gives Purview labels to enforce.
Cognni
Finds the sensitive files, classifies them and writes the label
Purview or your DLP
Enforces your policies on the labels Cognni writes.
Copilot
Respects sensitivity labels, so labeled content follows your policy.
SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange
Stay exactly as they are. Nothing to install and no change for users.
What we need from you: one 30-minute session with whoever owns Microsoft 365. The connection itself takes under 15 minutes. Read-only, agentless, scoped to the sources you choose.
Customer results
What one customer found in week one.
A 15,000-employee food manufacturer connected Cognni with no agents and no disruption for users. This is what its existing controls had missed.
1.4M
files scanned
In the first week, across the sources the customer chose.
180,000
business-critical files surfaced
Strategy, legal, HR and financial files that none of the existing controls could see.
2,300
exposed and overshared
Open to the whole organization or shared externally, each with its full exposure path.
Days
to remediation
Labels and access boundaries applied automatically, before the first monthly review.

Questions to ask before you switch Copilot on.
Does Cognni replace Microsoft Purview?
No. Cognni makes Purview work better: it supplies the classification and sensitivity labels Purview needs, and Purview keeps enforcing your policies. If you use a different DLP, DSPM or endpoint tool, Cognni works with that instead.
How long does it take to connect?
Under 15 minutes, with no agents to install and no change for your users. Classification starts as soon as Cognni is connected.
Does Cognni store our files?
No. Cognni does not store the content of your files. It keeps classification results and activity metadata. See our privacy policy.
