AI agents are no longer experimental. Organizations are deploying Copilot agents, custom-built bots, and third-party integrations across Microsoft 365 — often faster than governance and security controls can keep up. The result: agent sprawl, ungoverned non-human identities, inconsistent access policies, and blind spots that put data and compliance at risk.

Do you know how many agents are active in your tenant today? Who owns them? What data they can access?

MAQ Software's 3-Week Agent 365 Governance Assessment gives you complete visibility into your current agent landscape and a clear, actionable roadmap to govern, secure, and scale AI agents responsibly using Microsoft Agent 365, Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Purview, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud.

Key questions

Do you have full visibility into every agent — sanctioned or unsanctioned — operating in your Microsoft 365 tenant?
Are your AI agents governed with the same rigor you apply to users, apps, and data?
Can you trace agent actions, enforce data boundaries, and demonstrate audit-readiness to leadership or regulators?
Do your security and identity teams have a clear playbook for managing non-human identities at scale?
Are you confident your current E5 controls are sufficient — or is there a gap that Agent 365 and E7 capabilities would close?

Our approach

Week 1: Discovery & Stakeholder Alignment — Audit your Microsoft 365 tenant using Microsoft Agent 365 to surface all active agents, sanctioned and shadow. Identify non-human identities and service accounts via Microsoft Entra. Conduct workshops with SecOps, IT, and business leads to map your "as-is" agent landscape.
Week 2: Governance & Security Gap Analysis — Evaluate access policies, agent permissions, and lifecycle controls against Agent 365 best practices. Identify data exposure risks using Microsoft Purview and review runtime threat detection readiness with Microsoft Defender for Cloud. Perform a structured E5-to-E7 gap analysis for agentic AI environments.
Week 3: Roadmap & Executive Readout — Design a prioritized governance framework covering agent identity, access controls, monitoring, and lifecycle management. Define a Zero Trust alignment plan and deliver a structured implementation roadmap with effort estimates, sequencing, and quick wins. Present findings in an executive readout.
