How Microsoft Purview DLP currently can help you protect confidential data in Copilot.

Organizations today face a difficult balancing act. Business leaders are eager to adopt tools like Microsoft Copilot to unlock productivity and innovation. Meanwhile, IT and security teams are concerned about safeguarding sensitive information, especially as AI-driven features process vast amounts of organizational data. This tension is real: enabling advanced capabilities without compromising compliance or data protection is a challenge every modern enterprise must solve.

Get-userandpolicy V_1 released

I have been working on a deployment lately, where I was tasked with identifying policies and if any of these could be removed after a huge migration.

This could all be done through CSCP, but the task was slow and "painful". I decided to find a quicker way to complete the job. And sure enough. A couple of hours creating some code, made the task so much easier.

This was not the first deployment I had to do policy management and cleanup, and I do not think it's going to be the last. So I decided to make a script of the code and publish it. Get-userandpolicy is the end result of my work.

I have made it available on the Technet Gallery, so if you need a quick way to get an overview over your policies and users assigned to them you are welcome to download and try it: Get-userandpolicy

As always, feedback and suggestions appreciated ;)
