Security, Data Governance, and Privacy for K–12

As education institutions move from exploring AI to putting it into practice, a new challenge emerges: ensuring the data behind these tools is secure, governed, and used appropriately. AI is only as trustworthy as the data foundation beneath it, and without strong governance in place, schools and districts risk exposing sensitive information, compromising privacy, and losing trust. Establishing the right controls isn’t just a technical requirement—it’s essential to moving forward with confidence.

This session provides a practical playbook for building the security, data governance, and privacy posture required before broad AI rollout. We’ll cover key capabilities in Microsoft Purview for data classification, sensitivity labeling, and Data Loss Prevention, along with access governance controls that help protect FERPA-regulated student data. You’ll also learn how to configure these controls so tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot surface the right information to the right people—and nothing more.

As part of the Becoming AI Ready in Education webinar series, this session builds on earlier discussions and helps you move from readiness to implementation.

Why attend?

  • Assess your school or district’s current security and data governance readiness for AI
  • Protect student data while enabling appropriate access and use
  • Take practical steps to configure governance controls that support tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot

Don’t miss this opportunity to establish the security, governance, and privacy foundation required to move forward with AI in your school or district. Register now.
