Sentra's New Tool Secures Microsoft 365 Copilot Without Sacrificing Productivity

Sentra has launched a new data security solution tailored for Microsoft 365 Copilot. The platform aims to help organizations balance productivity gains with stricter control over sensitive information. Recent research suggests that oversharing and weak permissions leave over 15% of critical business files exposed to risk.

The solution addresses growing concerns about data exposure in Microsoft 365 environments. Sentra's platform integrates with Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to automatically apply sensitivity labels, helping prevent employee and user data from being overexposed within Copilot's embedded features.

Four key capabilities are included in the offering. These cover discovery and classification of sensitive data, governance of access permissions, automatic labeling with DLP, and continuous monitoring for potential breaches. The system also provides visibility into who can access sensitive content across SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams.

Sentra has positioned the tool as a way to mitigate risks tied to Copilot's broad embedding in Microsoft 365 applications. While no current studies specify how many companies lack basic protections, the platform targets organizations looking to secure their data without sacrificing productivity gains.

The new solution allows businesses to adopt Copilot while maintaining stricter data security controls. By combining automated labeling, access governance, and real-time monitoring, Sentra aims to reduce the risks of oversharing and unauthorized access. The platform is now available for organizations using Microsoft 365 Copilot.
