Copilot readiness assessment
A Copilot readiness assessment is an evaluation of whether an organization's Microsoft 365 tenant is ready for Copilot, surfacing oversharing, access control gaps, unlabelled sensitive content and stale data before rollout.
Also known as: Copilot readiness, AI readiness assessment, GenAI readiness assessment
What it checks
Copilot can only surface what a user is allowed to open, so the assessment looks at access first. Typical findings are sites and files shared with large groups or external users, broken permission inheritance, workspaces without owners and sensitive content without a sensitivity label.
The second area is content quality. Old, duplicated and abandoned files make Copilot answers worse, so the assessment also counts stale sites and files that should be archived or deleted before Copilot reads them.
What to do with the result
A useful assessment ends with a prioritized list: which sites to fix before which user groups get licenses, and which checks keep running after rollout. A one-off report goes stale as soon as people start creating and sharing again.
Where Rencore fits
Rencore policies flag SharePoint sites with broken permission inheritance, site collections without a sensitivity label, files shared with external users, sites inactive for more than 90 days and files older than five years. A Copilot policy lists E3 and E5 users who are candidates for a license, and the same policies keep running after rollout.
