Cotiss Commercial Intelligence - Microsoft Integration

What It Does, What It Accesses, and Why It’s Worth Enabling

Written by Rochelle Sanderson

Cotiss Commercial Intelligence is built for one job: turning the unstructured material your procurement function generates every day into structured, queryable, audit-grade context.


What Cotiss Commercial Intelligence enables for you

Procurement and Finance

General ledger data tells you what you spent. A context layer surfaces shadow spend, missed rebates, and renewal exposure before they become emergencies.

Legal and Compliance

Every clause, exception, and commitment traceable back to the conversation that produced it. Contract review compresses when the history is visible.


Security and storage

Your organisation’s data security and storage policies do not change by approving this integration. Cotiss Commercial Intelligence is designed to bring vendor-related context into Cotiss while maintaining your organisation’s existing security posture.

  • Email Data is governed in accordance with SOC2 Type II

  • Cotiss only surfaces information configured during implementation.

  • Integration relies fully on standard Microsoft OAuth methods.

For the full detail on permissions and how Cotiss handles data, see our Trust Center.


Control what’s included

Cotiss is configurable so you can scope it to the communications that matter. Your customer success manager will work with you to define what information is and isn't relevant to your needs.

Exclude sensitive or irrelevant content

You can define exclusions and inclusions to prevent certain emails from appearing in Cotiss. In addition, this is an opt-in process for specific mailboxes, which is configured during your implementation.

This gives you extra control to keep the inbox content aligned to procurement and vendor management use cases.


What your IT team will receive (permissions and due diligence)

After procurement submits the request for Microsoft admin approval, we provide your IT team with the relevant permission details and documentation as seen below;

This is the information we share with IT as part of the integration request so they can review requested scopes, data handling, and security controls.
