Governing the agentic force: Microsoft E7 in policing
Agents are starting to work inside force systems, and governing them is a different job to adopting them.
This session shows how Agent 365 handles agent identity and registry. It also shows how Purview governs labelling, DLP, insider risk, retention, and audit against OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE handling and your records obligations. You’ll see the independent research behind these tools, not just a features tour.
Why attend
- See Agent 365 handle agent identity, registry and sprawl, demo-led.
- Understand what Purview means for labelling, DLP, insider risk, retention, and audit against your records obligations.
- Get a policing-focused Copilot “art of the possible” session, plus a full Microsoft 365 E7 licensing overview.

Value realisation: what the evidence shows
This session is built around outcomes, not features. Policing is already moving this way nationally, and the wider evidence on agent governance backs up why it matters:
- The Home Office announced its £115 million Police.AI centre in January 2026. It’s building a national registry of AI tools used across all 43 forces – the same governance problem Agent 365 solves at force level.
Source: Home Office, Police.AI (National Centre for AI in Policing) announcement, 26 January 2026. - 88% of organisations suspect they’ve already had a security incident involving an AI agent, and only 14.4% have full security and IT sign-off. On average, just 47% of an organisation’s AI agents are actively monitored or secured.

What this means for your force
“Agents are already appearing inside force systems, often faster than anyone signed off. My part of this session isn’t the licensing slide. It’s helping teams get ahead of that, instead of discovering it after the fact.”
Lewis Thomson, AI Workforce Lead, Phoenix Software
“Governance for AI agents isn’t a new problem. It’s the same discipline as governing any other identity in the system, just faster and with less patience for gaps. What I want DPOs and information governance leads to walk away with is Purview mapped against OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE handling and your records obligations. Not a features list.”
Stephanie Ireland, Microsoft Security Solutions Lead, Phoenix Software
