Security Review
KU Leuven identifies Copilot logged in with a KU Leuven account as its recommended GenAI tool, citing contractual data protection, Enterprise technical security, and Microsoft not using entered data for further training.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: copilot_logged_in_recommended_tool_enterprise_data_protection
Original evidence
Evidence 1Copilot is the preferred tool at KU Leuven. KU Leuven has a contractual agreement with Microsoft that also covers data protection. In addition, our Enterprise environment provides the best technical security, Microsoft does not use entered data for further training, and ICTS ensures the correct settings for all logged-in users.
Privacy
KU Leuven guidance says strictly confidential data should use only Copilot logged in with a KU Leuven account, and confidential or strictly confidential data require a security check if another AI tool is needed.
Review: Agent reviewed
