Copilot Readiness is Governance First: How to Avoid the Compliance Collapse

Forty-one percent of Microsoft 365 enterprise customers now have Copilot licenses. Few are actually ready to use them.

The gap isn't technical adoption—it's governance readiness. Organizations racing to deploy Copilot across their workforce discover, weeks into rollout, that Purview sensitivity labels aren't in place, DLP policies don't account for Copilot output, permission audits reveal oversharing, and no one can prove ROI. The result: pilots that stall, compliance risk that accumulates silently, and multi-million-dollar licenses generating 15–25% daily active use.

This webinar walks through the governance-first readiness framework that separates scaled deployments from abandoned pilots. We'll examine real blockers: data classification readiness, identity and access orchestration, the measurement problem, and why trust failures cascade downstream—and the governance visibility practices that unlock each one.

You'll leave with a concrete readiness checklist, the sequencing that separates success from stall, and how to position governance as the prerequisite rather than an afterthought. Includes walkthrough data from organizations that got it right.

This is for security leaders, infrastructure owners, and IT decision-makers who've licensed Copilot and are now asking: "What actually needs to happen before we can turn this on at scale?
