The growing adoption of AI agents requires IT teams to implement consistent, enterprise-grade controls. This blog introduces the Copilot Control System, a set of integrated capabilities that help administrators secure, manage, and analyze Copilot and agents across Microsoft 365 environments. Read the blog to explore these controls and contact Play Good Group to continue the conversation.
What is the Copilot Control System?
The Copilot Control System (CCS) is an integrated system of controls and capabilities designed for Microsoft 365 Copilot and agents. It aims to empower IT professionals to manage, secure, and analyze the use of these tools effectively. CCS focuses on three key areas: security and governance, management controls, and measurement and reporting, providing organizations with enhanced control over their AI deployments.
How does CCS enhance data security?
CCS enhances data security through foundational controls that manage data access and site governance, helping to prevent oversharing and protect sensitive information. It includes integrations with tools like Microsoft Purview and Defender for Cloud Apps, which provide additional layers of security. These measures help organizations mitigate risks associated with AI applications and ensure compliance with data handling standards.
What are the management capabilities of CCS?
CCS provides management controls primarily through the Microsoft 365 admin center and Power Platform admin center. Administrators can manage Copilot licenses, oversee the lifecycle of agents, and configure billing options. These controls allow for compliance with organizational policies and help ensure that AI tools are deployed effectively to meet specific business needs.
