Build Provenance
What the agent is built on.

What the publisher says
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,
plus a paid Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Every request is authenticated and
filtered, so users see only what your organization is licensed for.
Data handling
IANS logs the requests made through the connector. Your prompts,
conversations, and the answers Copilot generates are not stored by IANS, and log
data is not used to train AI models, sold, or shared beyond the cloud providers
hosting the platform. Detail:

Reading the score
Disclosure · how many sources corroborate it
Evidence · what kind of evidence backs it
The SettleTop steps above are possible but not automated yet, so today they sit open and a perfect 10 is out of reach. Open information like firmographics and reach has fewer steps to climb, so it sits a little higher for the same visible evidence.
Information shown here reflects the best available information at the time of assessment and may be incomplete, outdated, or subject to change. It should be independently verified before being relied upon for any decision. SettleTop is not liable for any errors, omissions, or decisions made in reliance on this information.
