In Episode 29 of Guardians of M365 Governance, Christian Buckley, Joy Apple, and I went off-script. No guest, just a laundry list of the governance topics keeping us up at night. The thread that tied it all together: as Agent 365 matures and shadow AI spreads, the most important governance control isn’t a setting. It’s…
Copilot agents are quietly accessing your SharePoint sites right now. Do you know which ones — and what they’re reading? Microsoft recently introduced the Agent Access Insights Report as part of SharePoint Advanced Management.

In Episode 28 of Guardians of M365 Governance, I sat down with Christian Buckley, Joy Apple, and MVP Ben Stegink to discuss how to actually make the…
SharePoint governance reports end up as CSV exports in the download folder – and there they gather dust. This raw data from SharePoint Advanced Management (SAM) contains exactly the answers that IT admins and compliance officers are looking for every day: Which sites are critical? Where does someone from outside have access? What needs to…
Microsoft 365 Copilot just got a new thinking partner — and most users are briefing it the wrong way. You already use Copilot Researcher for deep research tasks.
