Direct answer

How do you manage data privacy when a copilot accesses sensitive legacy data?

Build a strict data filtering and anonymization layer at the integration point. The copilot should never see raw PII or financial data, working instead with tokenized or aggregated information. This adds latency and complexity but is non-negotiable for compliance. The risk is not baking this governance in from day one, which forces a painful and expensive refactor later.
