Secure SharePoint Grounding Data

Updated

Reduce oversharing and grounding-data exposure for agents that ground on SharePoint — govern what content agents can discover and access, and protect the sensitive data behind it.

When an agent grounds on Microsoft 365 content, its answers are only as safe as the SharePoint estate underneath it: an overshared, stale, or unowned site becomes a data-leak path the moment Copilot can surface it. Securing the grounding data is a motion, not a switch — first find the overshared and sensitive sites, then narrow what agents can discover and access, then protect the sensitive data that remains with labels and DLP.

How to address Secure SharePoint Grounding Data

  1. Govern SharePoint-Grounded Agents
