Last Friday’s session was a powerhouse of insights for anyone navigating compliance in the age of AI. We explored how retention policies, audit logs, and eDiscovery apply to Copilot interactions, ensuring organizations can meet regulatory requirements while leveraging AI responsibly.

Key highlights from the session:

  • Retention Policies for Copilot: Copilot prompts and responses are stored in hidden folders within user mailboxes. We discussed best practices for setting retention periods, deletion policies, and how precedence works when multiple policies apply.
  • Unified Audit Logs: Learn how to track Copilot activity at scale, filter by user, and export data for investigations. We also covered why DSPM for AI offers a cleaner view for compliance teams.
  • eDiscovery for Copilot: From quick searches to full cases, we demonstrated how to place holds, create review sets, and export Copilot interactions for legal or compliance needs. Plus, tips for using KQL queries for granular searches.

This session wasn’t just theory—it included live demos showing how to configure retention policies, run audit queries, and manage Copilot data in real-world scenarios. Attendees also got links to previous recordings and Microsoft Onboarding Accelerators for deeper learning.
