Avanade Agentic Governance to Enable Frontier Firms

As organizations scale Microsoft 365 Copilot and build AI agents across teams, a critical gap emerges: agents proliferate without clear ownership, governance, or security controls. The result is unmanaged sprawl, fragmented visibility, inconsistent policy enforcement, and unrealized value.

Microsoft Agent 365, a core component of the Microsoft 365 E7 Frontier Suite, provides the enterprise control plane to govern your agent estate. But technology alone is not governance. Avanade's Agentic Governance bridges that gap, translating Agent 365's capabilities into a governed, secure, and measurable agentic workforce. 

Our Approach

Bringing together a set of experts and a cross-capability team from AI Workforce, AI Applications and Security, we follow a structured agenda:

• Evaluate your current agent estate and security posture across four pillars: Control, Observability, Security, and Enablement
• Identify governance, accountability, and operating model gaps that limit your ability to scale
• Design your target state for agentic operations, with agents prioritised by business value and readiness
• Develop your governance and security blueprint, covering Agent 365 configuration, Entra Agent ID policy, Microsoft Purview alignment, and RBAC
• Define your value and investment framework, including an Agentic FinOps view of cost, value, and RO

Expected Outcomes

• A clear path from AI experimentation to enterprise-grade agentic operations
• Governance and security controls that scale with your agent estate
• Confidence to extend your use of Microsoft Agent 365, Microsoft Purview, and Microsoft Entra
• A prioritized agent portfolio aligned to measurable business outcomes
