Copilot Data-Protection Architecture

Understand how identity, permissions, labels, DLP, retention, and auditing work together.

Understand how identity, permissions, labels, DLP, retention, and auditing work together.

Identity is the starting point

Copilot responses are shaped by the signed-in user and the access already granted to that identity.

Permissions define visibility

SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Exchange, and group membership determine what content can be retrieved.

Labels and encryption protect content

Sensitivity labels can classify content and apply protection that remains with the data.

DLP controls risky use

DLP can identify sensitive information and apply warnings, restrictions, or incident workflows.

Retention and auditing support accountability

Retention preserves required records while auditing supports investigations and policy review.
