What is a Copilot readiness assessment?
A Microsoft 365 Copilot readiness assessment checks whether your Microsoft 365 environment can support Copilot safely and usefully. Copilot works with the content each user can already access in SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams and Exchange, so weak permissions and unlabelled sensitive data become visible through Copilot answers. The assessment identifies those risks and the technical prerequisites before licences are assigned.
What the assessment covers
- Licensing and prerequisites – eligible base licences, update channels, network and app requirements.
- Identity and access – MFA, Conditional Access and guest access.
- Oversharing – sites and files shared with “Everyone” or the whole organization, broken inheritance and stale sites.
- Data protection – sensitivity labels, DLP and retention coverage.
- Governance – acceptable use, AI policy and ownership.
- Use cases and adoption – priority roles, scenarios and success measures.
Our process
- Discovery workshop with IT, security and business leads.
- Technical review of the tenant with read-only access.
- Oversharing and data analysis of SharePoint and OneDrive.
- Report and roadmap with remediation, pilot group and adoption plan.

Copilot readiness FAQs
Common questions before a Microsoft 365 Copilot rollout.
Why do we need a readiness assessment before Copilot?
Copilot can retrieve any content a user already has permission to see. If permissions are too broad, Copilot makes oversharing easy to discover. The assessment finds and prioritizes those risks first.
Which licences are needed for Microsoft 365 Copilot?
Users need an eligible Microsoft 365 or Office 365 business or enterprise plan plus a Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on licence. We confirm eligibility during the assessment.
How long does the assessment take?
Typically 2 to 4 weeks depending on tenant size and the amount of SharePoint content.
Does Copilot use our data to train AI models?
Microsoft states that prompts, responses and organizational data accessed through Microsoft Graph are not used to train the foundation models behind Microsoft 365 Copilot.
What happens after the assessment?
Most clients move to oversharing remediation and a structured pilot, followed by wider deployment and adoption.
