Sentra for Microsoft 365 Copilot

Achieve Secure and Compliant Adoption of Microsoft 365 Copilot

Microsoft 365 Copilot is a game-changer for productivity, but it introduces new critical risks: data exposure, compliance violations, and inadvertant sprawl. Copilot can access and summarize every file a user has permissions to, including forgotten or over-permissioned sensitive data. 


With Sentra, embrace Copilot innovation securely by providing the visibility and context needed to prevent accidental or malicious sensitive data leakage, stay compliant, and enforce a strong security posture.

Secure Copilot Adoption Starts with Data Security

Microsoft 365 Copilot brings enterprise-grade AI into the productivity suite, helping teams move faster, communicate more effectively, and surface relevant content quickly. With Sentra, harness the power of Copilot without sacrificing data security or compliance.

Automatically Discover Sensitive Data Copilot Accesses

Sentra automatically scans and accurately classifies all data across SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams, so you know exactly what sensitive information classes Copilot can access. No more chasing and guesswork.

Eliminate Unnecessary Data Exposure & Shadow Data

Identify redundant, outdated, or orphaned data, to clean up your environment before it becomes a liability.

For example, a policy can alert on ‘Shadow Data’ that was not accessed for 12 months and contains sensitive information. Or a policy can alert when customer data is found outside the production environment.

Map Identity-to-Data Access

With Copilot, overpermissioning can turn a local risk into a systemic one. Sentra provides a complete view of who can access what sensitive data, pinpointing over-permissioned users, and remediating those to ensure Copilot can only access the data it absolutely needs.



You can pick an identity to see all the data it can access, including sensitive data classes and their contexts. Alternatively, select a sensitive data class to see which identities can access it. You can also set up custom policies to alert you if, for example, an identity with ‘developer’ role has access to confidential legal contracts.

Control AI Output to Prevent Data Leakage

Even after sanitization, some sensitive data must remain accessible. Sentra automatically classifies data and applies Microsoft Purview (MPIP) sensitivity labels based on Rules the user can define, powering Microsoft Purview M365 Copilot DLP policies.
