The Challenge
Required FedRAMP High alignment for Microsoft Copilot deployment. Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling mandated strict data classification. Existing M365 tenant had 4 years of ungoverned SharePoint growth with no sensitivity labels.
The Solution
Performed a comprehensive CUI audit and classified 2.3 million documents using automated sensitivity labeling. Implemented NIST 800-171 controls mapped to Microsoft Purview policies. Deployed Copilot in GCC High with custom DLP rules preventing CUI from appearing in AI-generated responses to unauthorized personnel.

“Classifying 2.3 million documents seemed impossible within our timeline. The automated labeling approach and CUI audit methodology Copilot Consulting delivered made FedRAMP alignment achievable without disrupting daily operations.”
