Frequently asked questions
What does the 90-day Copilot security roadmap cover?
The roadmap maps all eight ACSC Essential Eight controls to Microsoft 365 Copilot Wave 3, sequencing identity hardening, data governance, agentic AI controls, and IRAP audit evidence into a 90-day activation plan.
Is Microsoft 365 Copilot IRAP-Protected in Australia?
Yes. Microsoft 365 Copilot completed an Australian IRAP assessment to the Protected classification level in 2024, covering the Australian East and Australian Southeast Azure regions.
What Essential Eight controls apply to Copilot?
All eight apply, with the highest impact on application control, restrict administrative privileges, multi-factor authentication, and patching of operating systems and applications hosting Copilot agents.
Can we deploy Copilot without an IRAP assessment?
Private-sector organisations do not require their own IRAP assessment. Government entities at Protected classification rely on the existing Microsoft Copilot IRAP-Protected report and complete their own consumer guide attestation.
