Leader brief

What a technology leader should know about AB-650

What it is

Microsoft 365 and Agent 365 administration makes a tenant secure, governed and ready for Copilot and AI agents: identities and access, data protection, Copilot and Agent 365, monitored end to end.

Why now

Copilot and AI agents can reach every file a person can open. Weak sign-ins, overshared sites, missing sensitivity labels and agents with no owner turn that into a data risk.

Decisions you will make

  • Conditional Access rules and when to move them from report-only to on
  • Which data is labelled Highly Confidential and blocked from leaving
  • Who owns each AI agent and how agents are governed in Agent 365
  • How licences and trials are managed and their billing turned off

Risks if ignored

  • Legacy sign-in protocols let attackers bypass MFA
  • Sensitive supplier data leaves by email
  • Agents act with no owner or oversight
  • Trials roll into paid billing unnoticed

Cost

Paid: Copilot and Agent 365 are licensed products; the labs run inside their trials.

Our lab: Recurring billing is turned off on every trial when the labs finish.

Who owns what

Microsoft 365 administratorTenant, identities, licences
SecurityConditional Access, Defender for Office 365
ComplianceLabels, DLP, retention
AI/agent governanceAgent 365 inventory and ownership

Questions to ask your team

  • Are old sign-in protocols still allowed?
  • Which data would we never want Copilot to surface?
  • How many agents exist, and who owns each?
  • Which trials end this month?
