Solution brief Radius for Agent Governance With Microsoft Agent 365
Your agents are multiplying – is your governance keeping up?
AI agents are no longer a future-state conversation. Organizations running Microsoft 365 Copilot are already seeing agents emerge from Copilot Studio, Power Platform, third-party tools, and custom builds — often faster than IT can track them. What started as a handful of pilots has quietly become dozens, sometimes hundreds, of agents operating across the tenant with no central inventory, no consistent access controls, and no unified way to monitor what they’re doing.
This isn’t just a security gap; it’s a scale blocker. Without clear governance, organizations stall. Leadership hesitates to greenlight broader agent deployment when there’s no framework for approval, no visibility into cost, and no confidence that compliance requirements are being met. The result: promising AI initiatives stay stuck in pilot purgatory while the risk surface grows unchecked.
The question isn’t whether you need agent governance — it’s whether you’ll build it proactively or reactively.
Our solution: Governance that enables, not restricts
Radius™ for Agent Governance is Insight’s structured engagement for organizations ready to move from experimentation to enterprise-scale agent deployment — securely and sustainably. We partner with you to establish a practical governance foundation covering policy alignment, technical controls, cost visibility, and operational readiness, so your teams can build and deploy agents with confidence rather than caution.
Central to this engagement is Microsoft Agent 365 — the new unified platform for discovering, governing, securing, and observing all AI agents across your Microsoft 365 tenant, regardless of where they were built. Agent 365 is included as part of Microsoft’s E7 Frontier Suite (also available as a standalone license), and Insight brings early, hands-on expertise helping organizations apply its registry, identity, observability, and compliance capabilities to support enterprise-scale agent governance.

What to expect: a phased, practical approach
Insight’s experts guide you through four phases, from understanding your current environment to handing over a fully operational governance model your team can sustain and scale.
| Phase | What happens |
|---|---|
| Discover & assess | Inventory existing agents, assess Entra/Purview/Defender readiness, identify governance gaps, and educate IT on Agent 365. |
| Design the framework | Define your governance model — agent registry strategy, identity and access policies, lifecycle workflows, cost allocation, and intake/approval processes. |
| Configure & operationalize | Implement controls in Agent 365, configure Entra agent identities and conditional access, integrate Purview and Defender policies, and stand up the agent review board. |
| Validate & hand over | Test governance against real workloads, conduct IT knowledge transfer and admin training, and deliver scaling recommendations. |
