Microsoft 365 Data Security Check for AI Readiness

Identify your data risks and prepare for secure AI adoption.

Data volumes are growing quickly, and generative AI is creating new exposure points. Do you know where your sensitive information resides, or how it’s being used?

Complete the form to request your Microsoft Data Security Engagement from Rackspace Technology. We’ll help you detect oversharing, classify sensitive data and analyze insider-risk patterns across Microsoft 365, then deliver actionable guidance to reduce exposure and support compliance.

Key use cases

  • Generative AI readiness: Reduce exposure risks by tightening access, applying labels and enforcing guardrails before scaling AI.
  • Insider risk management: Detect patterns of data theft, policy abuse or workplace misconduct.
  • Dark data discovery: Uncover forgotten or unknown sensitive data across mail, chat and files.
  • Regulatory audit prep: Benchmark controls and fast-track improvements with Microsoft Compliance Manager guidance.
  • External sharing control: Identify overshared files and enforce just-enough access without blocking collaboration.
  • Endpoint and on-premises visibility (optional): Extend risk discovery to devices and legacy repositories.

Key benefits

  • Gain clarity: See your highest-impact data risks across Microsoft 365.
  • Accelerate remediation: Act on a practical, prioritized plan instead of a theoretical audit.
  • Address compliance: Take concrete actions aligned to leading data protection standards.
  • Strengthen confidence: Build trust with employees and customers through stronger privacy and governance across operations.
  • Drive AI readiness: Align data controls to support secure, long-term use of AI.

Why this matters now

  • The global datasphere is expected to more than double between 2022 and 2026, driving up complexity and increasing the potential attack surface.1
  • More than 30% of decision-makers say they don’t know where or what their sensitive business-critical data is, leaving critical information exposed.2
  • 80% of leaders cite sensitive data leakage as their top concern when adopting generative AI.3
