Data Classification in Microsoft 365 and Pragmatic Copilot Adoption
As artificial intelligence transforms the use of enterprise technologies, a foundation of robust data governance has never been more critical. Establishing a data governance framework that is resilient against AI risks and flexible to ongoing technological change involves a series of steps, many of which were outlined in a previous FTI Technology white paper, “Getting AI Ready through Effective Information Governance.”
Case Study
A financial services institution was seeking to deploy Copilot across its Microsoft 365 environment as part of a broader objective to leverage artificial intelligence to improve employee efficiency and work experience. With a robust risk management program in place, the company understood the importance of testing and evaluating the legal and regulatory risks associated with the new generative AI tool. FTI Technology is a longstanding trusted advisor to the company across information governance, e-discovery and digital risk, and was engaged to conduct a robust governance assessment during a contained project pilot.
Case Study
After a high-value, high-profile investment firm in Germany experienced an incident of information theft, the organisation’s leaders realised the company was facing significant risk due to weaknesses in its approach to data protection and information governance. FTI Technology partnered with the organisation’s law firm to quickly assess existing practices and implement a new framework to reduce overall risk.

Forensic Analysis and E-Discovery Complexities in Cloud-Based Investigations
The corporate transition to the cloud continues to present significant, continually evolving challenges for discovery in disputes and investigations. The majority of enterprise data now reside in expansive cloud-based environments, and productivity platforms such as Microsoft 365 promise robust discovery and compliance features, alongside a continually evolving feature set. As a result, there has been a trend towards conducting cloud-first and cloud-only data collection and preservation — a departure from the traditional approach of broadly collecting data from custodian devices, removable media and on-premises server-based sources.
Case Study
When a global financial technology deployment and management provider sought to migrate its systems to Office 365, its general counsel recognized an opportunity to establish a records retention policy and assess information governance maturity.
