The problem: You need to be sure your SharePoint data is and remains ready for Copilot

Copilot exposes deficiencies in SharePoint data quality and security quickly because it uses everything a user has access to in SharePoint as a source - including outdated, duplicate, trivial and incorrectly permissioned content.

Typically problematic issues:

  • Redundant information in the form of duplicate or similar versions of documents.
  • Obsolete information in the form of inactive and abandoned files and sites.
  • Trivial information in the form of non-work-related and draft content.
  • Oversharing via sharing links created by users who are unaware of the implications.
  • The presence of guest users who may not be appropriate or relevant anymore.

The solution: Report on and fix the most common data health and security issues

Step 1: Identify issues

Use SProbot's Health check and Reviews to assess your tenant and quickly identify sites with the most critical issues.

Step 2: Apply corrective actions

Once you've reviewed and confirmed data and security issues which require remediation, you can take direct action to adress them.

Why you need to optimise your SharePoint storage and security

Because Microsoft 365 makes it so easy to create a SharePoint site or a team, people tend to create new workspaces without considering whether a suitable container already exists, what template to use if not, or what the appropriate security settings should be.

This results in uncontrolled content sprawl and a compromised security posture.

You can gain control of your tenant by using SProbot's AI-powered governance and cleanup tools to stop sprawl, reduce storage costs, and increase the security of your data.

Stop content sprawl

Audit your existing tenant content with a set of cleanup tools which target the most common unwanted, obsolete and unmanaged workspace types.

Prevent duplicate and other unnecessary workspaces from being created with clearly defined governance policies and automated provisioning.

Save time and storage

Use bulk admin actions to assign ownership, apply labels and templates, and perform other common administrative tasks.

Reduce your consumption of expensive SharePoint storage by automating the archiving of inactive sites and teams, and cleaning up unneeded versions of large files.

Increase data security

Protect sensitive content by automating the detection of user activities which can result in the unwanted exposure of confidential files to those who should not have access.

Apply restrictive measures to sites which have been flagged by AI content assessment as containing data requiring access review.
