Overview

Microsoft 365 has become the operational backbone for collaboration, content, and now AI-driven work through Copilot and agents. But as organizations accelerate adoption, governance gaps are rapidly turning into security exposures.

In two recent analyst reports, the message is consistent: Microsoft 365 governance is not an administrative exercise; it is a prerequisite for managing data security, AI risk, and operational control at scale. Organizations are struggling with oversharing in SharePoint and OneDrive, uncontrolled agent creation, inconsistent policy enforcement, and limited visibility into how AI-enabled tools interact with enterprise data. These are governance issues with direct security consequences.

In this session, join guest speaker Jussi Roine, Microsoft MVP on security and overall IT security guru, and Matthias Einig, Rencore co-founder and CEO, as they break down what happens when traditional M365 governance challenges collide with emerging AI and Copilot risks — and how to build a control framework that satisfies both IT operations and security teams.

The session concludes with a Q&A, where you can ask your specific questions.

In this session, you will learn: 

  • Why M365 governance is now a security control layer

  • The new risk surface: Copilot and agent sprawl

  • Oversharing: the hidden enabler of AI-related data exposure

  • Where IT governance and security teams must align

  • Practical control patterns for secure Copilot scale

Who should attend

  • Microsoft 365 / Digital Workplace leaders

  • IT security and risk teams

  • Compliance and data protection stakeholders

  • Architects responsible for Copilot and AI rollout

Key takeaway:

You cannot secure what you do not govern. As Copilot and agents extend Microsoft 365 into an AI platform, governance becomes the enforcement mechanism for security, compliance, and responsible AI use - not a back-office process, but a frontline control system.

Jussi Roine

Jussi Roine was drawn to computers at an early age, and much to his parents' surprise, he learned BASIC on a VIC-20 in record time. Fast-forward to 1989, and Jussi found the Internet - the information superhighway at everyone's fingertips - where he has done his share of Gopher, telnet, and IRC.

In 1990, Jussi started fiddling with this Linux thing. That was fun. Compiling the kernel while attending a high school class was memorable, too. He has been working in technology since 1994, focusing on Microsoft platforms and solutions

Today, Jussi works on challenging Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, and Power Platform projects as a consultant, architect, and developer. His mission is to untangle Microsoft Security as a Senior Security Architect at the Finnish company Not Bad Security. He is a Microsoft MVP in security and a Microsoft Certified Trainer.

Matthias Einig

Matthias started Rencore because he kept seeing the same problem: Everyone is adopting Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and now Copilot & AI - without a plan to govern it.

The result? Sprawl, oversharing, shadow agents, rising risk, and costs.

With Rencore, Matthias helps organizations stay in control. Rencore brings visibility, automation, and lifecycle governance to Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams, Power Apps, Copilot, Azure AI, and more.

Matthias is actively contributing as an author, speaker, and blogger. He regularly shares insights into what he has learned running a business in the Microsoft 365 governance space, what is working, what is not, and where governance breaks in the age of AI.
