The Copilot Readiness Audit is KitelyTech's fixed-scope service for identifying SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams permission exposure before Microsoft 365 Copilot goes live. Microsoft Copilot inherits each user's existing file permissions. An organization that activates Copilot without first auditing for overshared content risks exposing salary data, contracts, and strategy documents through a conversational interface, often within the first 30 days.
Automated scan of SharePoint Online, OneDrive, and Teams for overshared content
Risk classification by category: HR, financial, customer, confidential strategy
A phased remediation roadmap, prioritized by exposure severity
A governance framework recommendation for ongoing permission hygiene
A deployment readiness report: a point-in-time picture of exposure and the remediation path, delivered before Copilot goes live
Remediation itself (fixing the permissions found): scoped separately
Copilot deployment or end-user training
Ongoing monitoring after the initial audit
Timeline: 3 weeks, confirmed in scoping.
Price: fixed for the defined scope, set during scoping.
Concentric AI's 2025 Data Risk Report examined more than half a billion records and found that organizations average roughly 800,000 files exposed to oversharing, broken permissions, or misclassification. Separately, Microsoft consultancy EPC Group has reported finding this kind of exposure in 8 out of 10 enterprise Copilot deployments it has audited: the kind that can surface payroll data, board materials, or acquisition documents. Copilot doesn't create this exposure; it makes years of accumulated permission drift instantly searchable in plain English.
That trust is exactly what the audit tests. Copilot does not create new permissions; it makes years of quiet permission drift instantly searchable in plain English. Organizations that felt confident going in are routinely surprised by what the scan surfaces.
No, and that's deliberate. You get a findings report, a risk classification, and a remediation roadmap prioritized by severity. Remediation is scoped separately, so you're never paying audit prices for repair work or repair prices for an audit.
You can, but the issues tend to arrive as exposed salary data, contracts, or board materials in an employee's chat window, often within the first month. A three-week audit before deployment costs less than the cleanup after.
Three weeks from kickoff to the deployment readiness report: a point-in-time picture of where exposure stands and what to remediate before Copilot goes live.
