AI Security and Governance

Define who approves AI actions before rollout.

Establish who owns each AI capability, what it can access and which actions need approval. We validate the agreed controls and record gaps before rollout.

What it is

Microsoft Agent 365 governance and separately scoped implementation. Start with the three-week read-only identity and security assessment. Implementation defines and tests the agreed access, data and approval controls; managed operations require a separate service schedule.

What this is not

A model-triggered pause or information request is not proof of an enforced approval boundary. Unsupported controls remain documented gaps. Implementation and managed operations are not included in the readiness assessment.

Who it is for

  • Security teams accountable for an AI rollout they did not design
  • Organizations with regulatory or contractual data handling obligations
  • Teams deploying agents that can act, not only answer
  • Organizations that need the control set evidenced for an auditor

What we do

  • Entra identity, Conditional Access, and least privilege design for AI access
  • Microsoft Purview information protection, labeling, and data loss prevention
  • Data boundary design so a tool can only reach what it should
  • Agent governance: registration, ownership, permitted actions, and approval seams
  • Microsoft Defender coverage for the surfaces AI use introduces
  • Monitoring and review, with the questions an auditor will ask answered in advance
  • Written policy that matches what the environment actually enforces

What you get

  • Control design mapped to your obligations
  • Implemented configuration in your tenant
  • Agent and capability inventory with named owners
  • Approval and escalation model
  • Monitoring and review procedure
