Microsoft 365 Copilot
Put AI to work across your business, safely
Copilot is embedded across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams, and extends into agentic, multi-step tasks and custom agents built in Copilot Studio. IPT scopes, licenses, rolls out and governs Copilot so adoption is fast and the data it touches stays protected.
Everyday AI
Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint & Outlook
AI drafting, summarising, formula building and slide generation, built into the Microsoft 365 apps your teams already use every day.
- Drafting and rewriting in Word and Outlook
- Data analysis and formulas in Excel
- Slide and narrative generation in PowerPoint
- Meeting recaps and action items in Teams
Enterprise Chat
Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat
A Graph-connected chat that searches across your mailbox, files, Teams conversations and calendar to answer business-specific questions and trigger actions in connected apps.
- Inbox and calendar aware answers
- Search across your entire Microsoft 365 tenant

- Guardrails coordinated with Purview DLP

Microsoft Purview
Know where your sensitive data lives, and keep it there
Rolling out Copilot without data governance means AI can surface whatever it can reach. IPT builds Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention into every Microsoft 365 and Copilot deployment, so sensitive information stays classified, monitored and protected, in line with POPIA.
Discovery
Sensitive Data Discovery & Classification
Automated detection and classification of sensitive content across endpoints, Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, using machine learning driven analysis.
- Built-in and custom sensitive information types
- Sensitivity labels applied consistently across Microsoft 365
- Real-time alerts and reporting
Adaptive
Adaptive Protection
Dynamic, risk-based policy controls that automatically tighten data protection for users flagged as higher risk, without slowing down everyone else.
- Risk-based policy escalation
- Balances security with day-to-day productivity
- Integrated with Purview's wider compliance suite
Endpoint
Endpoint DLP
Protection that follows the file, not just the storage location, including recent capability to detect and block exfiltration of files that have not even been saved yet.
- Blocks exfiltration of unsaved sensitive files
- On Copilot+ PCs, blocks Windows Recall from capturing sensitive content
- Covers USB, cloud upload, print and copy paths
Copilot-aware
DLP for Microsoft 365 Copilot
Purview DLP policies extend directly into Copilot and Copilot Chat, so protection does not stop where the AI starts.
- Blocks Copilot from using external web grounding when a prompt contains sensitive data such as ID, passport or card numbers
- Prevents oversharing of files Copilot would otherwise surface
- Consistent policy enforcement across apps and AI
