Microsoft 365 Agent Governance
Comprehensive governance strategies for Microsoft 365 Copilot Agents. From secure implementation to scalable management.
Governance for AI agents in Microsoft 365 rests on four Microsoft tools: the Admin Center for user access, licenses, and configurations, Copilot Studio for agent development, testing, and deployment, Power Platform for enterprise agent controls, and Microsoft Purview for data protection and compliance. In this article's figures, 73 percent see agent governance as critical, Copilot costs 30 dollars per user each month, and agent deployment is set to grow fivefold by 2026. Copilot raises productivity while adding governance requirements that IT administrators have to handle. The article defines agent governance as the systematic management, control, and monitoring of AI agents in Microsoft 365 to keep them secure and compliant.
