AI Governance
Find your AI governance stage, and the path to good
As AI moves from pilot to production, governance shifts from a theoretical concern to an operational necessity. Use this model to locate where you sit today across five capability dimensions.
| ✓ | A four-stage maturity curve, from Ad Hoc to Optimised |
| ✓ | Five capability dimensions, anchored on Auditability, Identity Management and Agent Control |
| ✓ | What good looks like, and how Agent 365 and Microsoft 365 E7 get you there |
Why now: most organisations adopting Copilot and agents sit at the early stages, where usage is racing ahead of governance. This model shows the gap and the path.
How to use the model
This is a working self-assessment, not just a read. Here is how teams put it to work.
| ✓ | Locate your stage across all five dimensions | ✓ | Share it with IT and Security leaders |
| ✓ | Identify the biggest gaps to close first | ✓ | Build the case for Agent 365 and Microsoft 365 E7 |
| ✓ | Brief leadership on the path to good | ✓ | Talk to SoftwareOne about a readiness assessment |
