How do I confirm I am in the protected Copilot experience (shield icon)?

Why this matters:

When enterprise data protection is active, your prompts and responses are protected under UAlbany’s Microsoft 365 tenant.

Always sign in at https://m365.cloud.microsoft/chat using your UAlbany credentials to ensure enterprise protection is active.

Instructions:

  • Look for the shield icon in the top right corner:

  • If you hover your pointer over the shield, you should see the message: “Enterprise data protection applies to this chat.”

If you do not see the shield:

  1. Select your profile in the upper right. Sign out.

  2. Go back to https://microsoft365.com/copilot, sign in with your UAlbany account.

  3. Confirm the shield is visible.
