Azure OpenAI FedRAMP High + M365 Copilot Targeting Sept 2025 for GCC High/DOD
We’re excited to share two major updates for our public sector and defense customers: Azure OpenAI Service is now FedRAMP High authorized for Azure Government. This approval allows government agencies to securely leverage advanced AI capabilities, including GPT-4o, within their Azure Government environment. For the first time, we’re targeting a General Availability (GA) of September 2025 for Microsoft 365 Copilot in GCC High and DOD environments (pending government authorization). Copilot will deliver powerful AI tools tailored for decision-making, automation, and enhanced collaboration, all while meeting the strict compliance and security needs of our defense and government customers. For more information on these updates and how they can impact your workflows, check out the full blog post Let’s discuss how you’re planning to use these AI advancements in your environments!Question about M365 CoPilot: GPT Models and tailored standard instructions.
Hello, Thanks for this section, I have 2 questions: How does M365 CoPilot work with the GPT models? Is it region dependent? I am wondering that as I see the Azure Open AI services have according to the region different releases of the GPT models (the latest GPT-4Turbo is just for a bunch of). Differently from a classic ChatGPT where I have the ability to define a pre-defined set of instructions related to the positive and negative way the bot should manage the data answer, I only have the initial prompt here. Is it possibleto define a baseline for how CoPilot can interact with users within the same organization/tenant? Thanks in advance! Fabrizio
