Government and public safety organisations

Microsoft 365 E7 brings Copilot, Agent 365, the Entra Suite, Defender and Purview into one plan. This session explains what that means for departments, councils, forces, and services adopting AI safely.

AI is now policy

The AI Opportunities Action Plan expects departments to scan, pilot and scale AI adoption. But legacy technology and rising cyber risk make that harder than it sounds – and both need addressing before AI can be adopted with confidence.

28% of central government systems are legacy, rising to 70% in some police forces (State of Digital Government Review)
89 → 204 nationally significant cyber incidents in a year (NCSC, via Infosecurity Magazine)
April 2026 Cyber Essentials mandates MFA on all cloud services

This webinar shows how E7 addresses both sides: productive, governed AI, and a defendable estate. No product tour — practical guidance from Phoenix specialists in Copilot and agents, with licensing specialists on hand throughout.

What we’ll cover

  • Copilot in the day job – practical use cases for policy, casework, FOI handling and frontline admin. The NPCC estimates science and technology could free up 15 million hours of police time
  • Data readiness – what to fix before rollout, so AI answers from the right data and nothing leaks from the wrong data
  • Agent 365: control before scale – how to see, manage, and audit every agent in your estate. Governance first, features second
  • Security with Defender and the Entra Suite – protecting identities, devices and data as AI adoption grows. Includes the Cyber Essentials April 2026 MFA requirement
  • Licensing and commercials – Agent 365 as a standalone licence and its prerequisites, Copilot licensing and prerequisites, and how E7 is currently transacted with negotiated concessions
