One area for improvement is ensuring that personal information is not exposed through Copilot. For example, salary information of executives should remain confidential. Currently, I do not see this feature. Additionally, there should be better natural language processing to eliminate the need for prompt engineering.

It would be beneficial if Copilot's security features were available to roles other than just the top security personnel. Other roles could use some of the functions, perhaps with limited access, allowing for greater flexibility within an organization.
