Copilot Tenant Readiness Checklist

Confirm licensing, data governance, SharePoint and Teams permission hygiene, and your security baseline before assigning Copilot licences.

About This Resource

Copilot does not create oversharing — it reveals it, instantly, to anyone who asks the right prompt. This checklist covers everything to confirm before a single licence is assigned: licensing prerequisites, sensitivity labels and sharing-link defaults, SharePoint and OneDrive permission hygiene, Teams sprawl, and the MFA and Conditional Access baseline every Copilot user should already have in place. A success-criteria score row confirms when the tenant is genuinely ready.

What's Included

  • Licensing prerequisite checks against qualifying M365 base SKUs
  • Data governance checks — sensitivity labels, default sharing-link settings, DLP
  • SharePoint and OneDrive permission hygiene audit steps
  • Teams sprawl checks — inactive teams, guest access, creation policy
  • Security baseline checklist covering MFA, Conditional Access and privileged-account exclusion

Who Is This For?

IT managers and Microsoft 365 administrators at UK SMEs preparing a tenant for Copilot licensing.
