Agent 365 | Your Security & Compliance Controls

May 7, 2026·8 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Keep AI agents operating under control and within your data security and compliance policies using Agent 365. Block agent access to labeled files at runtime, stop sensitive data from leaving in agent-drafted emails, and catch agents that cross conduct lines using the same Microsoft Purview controls you already run for users. Map every risky agent action in Insider Risk Management, drill into Activity Explorer for interaction-level detail, and pull regulator-ready forensics from Purview Audit. Shilpa Ranganathan, Microsoft Purview Partner Group Squad Leader, shares how IT and data security teams can govern agent behavior on a single Agent 365 control plane built into the Microsoft tools already used.  ► QUICK LINKS: 00:00 - Agent security, compliance, & IT 01:13 - IT & data security teams using Agent 365 02:22 - Visibility with Microsoft Purview 03:14 - End user perspective 04:05 - DLP on Agent-Initiated Messages 04:23 - Communication Compliance for Agent Behavior 04:50 - Data Security admin in the Purview portal 06:04 - Policy violations 06:39 - Purview Audit 07:06 - Microsoft 365 admin center 07:44 - Wrap upn in the Purview portal  ► Link References Check out https://aka.ms/Agent365DataSecurity
