Thinking About Using Microsoft 365 Copilot in Your Scottsdale Business? Here's a Big Question Worth Asking: How Are You Handling Data Security?
That’s exactly the kind of question our team is now certified to answer. Kyle Kuball, Technical Support Manager at Corporate Data Solutions, has earned the Microsoft 365 Certified: Copilot and Agent Administration Fundamentals certification, Microsoft’s credential for supporting, securing, and governing AI in Microsoft 365.
Why This Matters for Your Business
Microsoft Copilot works by searching across the files, emails, Teams chats, and SharePoint sites each user already has access to. That’s what makes it useful. It’s also why a shared folder that was opened up to “everyone” years ago can suddenly turn up in someone’s Copilot answer.
The training behind Kyle’s certification covers:
- Permissions and oversharing - finding SharePoint sites and files that are shared more broadly than they should be
- Data protection and governance - using Microsoft Purview, Microsoft Defender, and Microsoft 365 controls to keep sensitive information protected
- Identity and access - multi-factor authentication, conditional access, and single sign-on
- Copilot and agent management - licensing, monitoring usage and adoption, and managing AI agents through their lifecycle
As our Technical Support Manager, Kyle is involved in the day-to-day support our clients rely on, so this knowledge goes straight into how we manage your Microsoft 365 environment.
What This Means for CDSI Clients
As a Microsoft Partner with more than 20 years in business, CDSI has always taken a Microsoft-first approach, and we don’t recommend tools that won’t benefit our clients. Copilot can save your team real time, but only if your environment is ready for it.
If you’re considering Copilot, we can help you:
- Review your Microsoft 365 permissions and sharing settings before rollout
- Decide whether Copilot is a good fit for your team, and which users actually need a license
- Set up the governance and security controls that keep AI working inside the right boundaries
- Monitor adoption so you know whether you’re getting value from it
“A lot of our clients are asking whether Copilot is worth the investment and whether it’s safe to turn on,” said Derek Achterfeldt, President of Corporate Data Solutions. “Kyle’s certification means we can answer both questions with confidence, and make sure that when a client does roll it out, their data is protected from day one.”
And as always, when you call CDSI, your phone gets answered within three rings by a real technician, and you can reach our support team directly in Microsoft Teams.
