What are Microsoft’s commitments to data security and privacy?

Grounded in users’ business data, Copilot uses cutting-edge AI to help users work across their business data in a secure, compliant, privacy-preserving way, delivering accurate, relevant, contextual results.

Copilot large language models (LLMs) are not trained on your organisation’s tenant data. Your data never leaves its secure partition.

Copilot automatically inherits your organisation’s security, compliance, and privacy policies for Microsoft 365. At an individual user level, Copilot works like an enterprise search today: it can access only the data to which the user already has access, enforced by the same technology that Microsoft has been using for years to secure customer data in Microsoft 365 apps.

Microsoft 365 Copilot is deeply integrated in the productivity apps millions of people use and rely on every day for work and life: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and more.

The individual user—and the admins—is always in control. Users decide what to use, modify, or discard. Microsoft will share more soon about new tools for IT admins so you can plan with confidence to enable Copilot across your organisation. 

Building responsibly: Microsoft 365 Copilot is designed for the needs of the enterprise. Microsoft’s efforts are guided by their AI principles and Responsible AI Standard and built on decades of research about grounding and privacy-preserving machine learning.
