Digital transformation is not just an option but a necessity, skepticism about new technologies is understandable. For small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), embracing innovative tools like Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 can be daunting. However, understanding the rigorous security measures and privacy principles that underpin these tools can help build trust and unlock unprecedented productivity gains.
Why Trust Microsoft Copilot?
Microsoft Copilot is more than just an AI assistant. It represents the forefront of Microsoft’s commitment to creating secure, efficient, and transparent digital tools. Here’s why you can trust Copilot to transform your business operations safely:
Robust Security Measures
Data Control: At Microsoft, your data remains your business. You have full control over its collection, use, distribution, and location. This means you know exactly where your data is stored and how it is used.
Enterprise-Grade Encryption: Microsoft employs multi-layered encryption techniques to safeguard your data both at rest and in transit. This ensures that your information is protected from unauthorized access, whether it’s being stored or transferred.
Data Defense: Microsoft scrutinizes every legal demand for data to ensure it’s valid and only provides data pertaining to specific accounts and identifiers. This vigilance helps keep your information secure from unwarranted access.
Privacy Principles
Microsoft recently reaffirmed its commitment to four core privacy principles:
Transparency: Microsoft believes in being transparent about its data practices, providing clear information about how your data is handled and protected.
Customer Control: You maintain control over your data, including its collection, use, and distribution. This empowers you to manage your data according to your business needs.
Secure Storage: Data residency offerings ensure your data at rest is stored in your selected local region, adhering to stringent data protection standards.
