Introduction
AI agents interact with organizational data, but not all agent types receive the same data security coverage from Microsoft Purview. Certain agents aren't governed at all unless you explicitly include them in policies. Others are technically in scope but introduce behavioral differences that change how those policies actually work. If you assume existing policies automatically extend to new agent instances, you likely have coverage gaps that persist silently.
This video walks through which Purview capabilities apply to agents and where coverage breaks down.
In this module, you:
- Understand how AI agents change data security posture and which Purview capabilities apply to each agent type
- Discover active agents and assess where policy coverage is incomplete
- Decide where existing policies need agent-specific configuration
- Configure data loss prevention (DLP) and sensitivity label settings for agent interactions
- Configure Insider Risk Management and communication compliance for agent detection
- Confirm that compliance governance covers all active agent types
