EPC Group now offers a service to review Copilot and Microsoft 365 tenant security.
The Story
The company found 80% of existing M365 tenants are misconfigured, posing security risks.
Why It Matters
For European law firms, this isn't about new software; it's about securing what you already own. Microsoft 365 is your firm's data backbone. If 80% of tenants are misconfigured, your client data is exposed, and your firm is non-compliant with GDPR, let alone the EU AI Act. Using Copilot without proper security is a professional liability.
What To Do About It
Check your M365 tenant security immediately. If you have Copilot, review its data access and permissions. This is a basic cybersecurity and compliance hygiene step that can't wait.
