Practitioner-sourced security intelligence, data, and peer experience
Ask a security question in Microsoft 365 Copilot and get an answer grounded in 10,000+ real practitioner conversations and data assets - not a plausible guess.
WHAT YOU GET
- An answer you can defend in front of a board or an auditor - responses link back to their source.
- What comparable teams actually did, before you commit to a decision.
- A faster way to search and find relevant answers.
- Benchmarks before you budget: spend, compensation, staffing, and the metrics boards ask for.
- Get work done fast - finished work product, not talking points: policy redlines, vendor scorecards, board-ready summaries.
- No context switching: no browser tab, no portal login.
- Easily spin up an Ask-an-Expert with IANS Faculty from inside Copilot.
USE IT TO
- Build a board narrative, or benchmark your program against comparable organizations
- Compare vendors and work through third-party risk and due diligence
- Stand up AI governance, including rollouts of agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot
- Accelerate a certification, or map obligations across multiple regulatory regimes
- Run daily briefings, playbook scenarios, and triage on a lean team
- Pressure-test an architecture decision against how peers built theirs
WHO IT'S FOR
Primarily for security and IT leaders, managers, architects, engineers, and GRC and third-party risk staff - the whole team, not just the top.
Also useful beyond the security org: Procurement teams evaluating vendors, Legal teams working through regulatory and contractual obligations, and HR teams on security hiring, compensation benchmarks, and team structure.
REQUIREMENTS
An active IANS Business or Enterprise subscription that includes MCP access is required, plus a paid Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Every request is authenticated and filtered, so users see only what your organization is licensed for.
