Diagnosing Access-Control
Weaknesses

See where legacy DLPs break down when Copilot or Glean recombine knowledge, then demonstrate the impact of new controls.

The Scenario

access-control-scenario-img

Your dashboards show 100 % policy coverage, but red-team testers can still coax Copilot to answer:

“Summarize all employees earning over $200K and list their equity.”

The files are labelled “Confidential,” but the LLM stitched details together using multiple safe snippets. Security leadership needs a report card that highlights real gaps and proof that solutions work.

How It Works: Outcome-Driven Steps

Connect in Minutes

Knostic connects to Microsoft 365, Copilot, and Glean, without agents or downtime.

Launch Red-Team Prompts

A library of attacker-style questions probes finance, HR, legal, and IP topics.

Grade Controls

Sort and filter by department, role, sensitivity level, or user context.

Generate the Report Card

Your dashboard shows pass/fail results by policy, department, and data class, while tracking control effectiveness over time.

Fix & Re-Test

One-click policy or label updates with indicators to show the leak has been closed.

Key Benefits for Security & Audit Teams

Proof, Not Theory

Demonstrates DLP failures caused by AI knowledge recombination.

Executive-Ready Report Card

Easy-to-read pass/fail table, risk mapping, and remediation plan.

Continuous Improvement

Able to retest after every policy change.

Zero Disruption

Validation prompts run without agents, zero impact on production users.

How This Use Case Employs Knostic’s Core Capabilities

icon-private-storageTogether, these capabilities transform a theoretical audit into a closed-loop validation and remediation process.
setting-icon-1 Core Capabilities

No-Code Deployment

Connects to M365 and AI tools instantly, enabling rapid test cycles during red-team events.

Knowledge Oversharing Detection

Uses natural-language prompts to surface leaks that get past file-centric DLP.

Security Control Feedback Loop

Pinpoints each failed policy, then pushes fixes to Purview or RBAC so you can re-test.

Remediation Playbooks

Turns each leak into an action plan with owners, deadlines, and trackable status.
