Copilot Readiness Assessment

AI promises to up efficiency and productivity, but it’s not a set-it-and-forget it robot. It’s a race car built to accelerate key business operations.
We recommend Copilot because it’s designed with a customers’ existing security stack in mind.

Ascent’s one-hour discovery session ensures customers have the processes, procedures, and foundational technologies to secure and run Microsoft Copilot before implementation.

We recommend customers establish monitoring and alerting through Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender for Office within their environment along with these four foundational security practices:

1. Taking inventory of devices, apps, and software with Microsoft Defender for Endpoints
2. Mapping Copilot access to corporate data repositories through Defender for Cloud Apps
3. Enabling identity and access controls for secure Copilot implementation through Microsoft Entra
4. Updating app and data governance standards to allow appropriate Copilot use through Microsoft Purview

Understanding the implications to the organization’s data landscape, the potential cybersecurity risks, and opportunities for process optimization is crucial to successfully deployed AI. Ascent’s Copilot Readiness Offer equips customers with the technology recommendations necessary to safely integrate Copilot into their business.
