Agent Governance Assistant

Overview

A comprehensive AI-powered framework for governing enterprise AI agents — from audit trails and policy enforcement to regulatory compliance and risk reporting. As enterprise AI agents (Microsoft Agent 365, Copilot Studio, custom agents) proliferate, governance has become the #1 blocker to adoption. This skill bridges the gap between AI capability and enterprise control.

Workflow

Phase 1 — Agent Inventory Discovery

Step 1.1: Scan for Active AI Agents

Generate a structured inventory of all AI agents in the enterprise environment.

Input required:

• List of known AI platforms in use (e.g., Microsoft 365 Copilot, Salesforce Einstein, custom LangChain agents, RPA bots)
• Department ownership mapping
• API endpoints or integration points

Output: Agent Inventory Table

Step 1.2: Classify Agent Risk Level

Assign risk tier (Low / Medium / High / Critical) based on:

• Data sensitivity (PII, financial, health, IP)
• External interaction (internet, customers, third parties)
• Autonomy level (advisory only → full automation)
• Regulatory exposure (CBIRC, CFCA, personal information protection)

Risk Classification Matrix:

Phase 2 — Policy Framework Design

Step 2.1: Define Governance Policies

Generate tailored governance policies based on enterprise type and regulatory context.

For China Financial Institutions (CBIRC/CFCA):

POLICY: CFCA-AI-001 — Agent Data Minimization
All AI agents must process only minimum necessary personal data.
Agents cannot retain PII beyond the transaction completion window.
Annual data audit required.

POLICY: CBIRC-AI-007 — Model Transparency
All AI-assisted decisions in underwriting/claims must provide
human-override capability and explainability documentation.

POLICY: AI-ENTERPRISE-003 — Agent Registration
All production AI agents must be registered in the Enterprise
Agent Registry with documented purpose, data scope, and owner.
Unregistered agents are prohibited from accessing customer data.

Step 2.2: Policy Compliance Checker

For each registered agent, evaluate against all applicable policies.

Input: Agent inventory + policy list Output: Compliance gap matrix with severity scores

Phase 3 — Shadow AI Detection

Step 3.1: Identify Unauthorized Agent Usage

Scan for signs of shadow AI — employees using personal AI tools on corporate data.

Detection indicators:

• Third-party AI API calls from corporate networks (non-approved domains)
• AI tool usage logs in DLP (Data Loss Prevention) systems
• Browser extensions accessing corporate APIs
• Unsanctioned Zapier/Make/n8n workflows connecting to company data

Output: Shadow AI Exposure Report

Phase 4 — Audit Trail & Reporting

Step 4.1: Generate Governance Audit Report

Produce a structured audit report for internal risk committees and external regulators.

Report Sections:

1. Executive Summary (1 page)
2. Agent Inventory & Risk Classification
3. Policy Compliance Scorecard
4. Shadow AI Findings
5. Open Risks & Remediation Roadmap
6. Appendix: Agent Decision Logs (sample)

Step 4.2: Generate Regulatory Filing

Format findings as a CBIRC/CFCA-compliant governance disclosure.

Input / Output Examples

Example 1: Enterprise Agent Audit

Input:

We have 12 AI agents across Finance, Claims, and Sales departments.
Recent CBIRC guidance requires quarterly AI governance reporting.
We discovered 3 employees using personal AI tools for work tasks.

Output:

## Phase 1: Agent Inventory
[Structured table of 12 agents with risk tiers]

## Phase 2: Policy Gap Analysis
- 4 agents non-compliant with CFCA-AI-001 (data minimization)
- 2 agents lack human-override capability (CBIRC-AI-007)
- 6 agents unregistered (AI-ENTERPRISE-003 violation)

## Phase 3: Shadow AI Findings
[Shadow AI report with 3 findings]

## Phase 4: Compliance Score — 58/100
Recommended actions prioritized by risk.

## Report ready for CBIRC Q2 submission.

Example 2: Microsoft Agent 365 Governance Setup

Input:

We are deploying Microsoft Agent 365 across 200 users.
IT needs to configure governance controls before go-live.
Finance and Claims departments need different permission levels.

Output:

## Agent 365 Governance Configuration

### Recommended Permission Matrix
| Department | Agent Capabilities | Data Scope | Human-in-Loop | Audit Level |
|------------|-------------------|------------|---------------|-------------|
| Finance | Report generation, variance analysis | Financial data only | Required for >¥100K | Full |
| Claims | Document review, fraud flag | Claims data | Required for >¥10K | Full |
| Sales | Lead scoring, email drafting | CRM data | Advisory only | Standard |

### Governance Policies to Enable
1. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) rules for PII in agent prompts
2. Agent activity logging to Sentinel/Log Analytics
3. Approval workflows for high-stakes agent actions
4. Monthly governance review dashboard

Notes & Best Practices

1. Start with inventory before policy. You cannot govern what you cannot see.
2. China-specific: For CBIRC/CFCA regulated entities, always include PIPL (个人信息保护法) compliance in the policy framework. Agents processing insurance claims data are subject to strict data minimization requirements.
3. Human-in-the-loop is non-negotiable for any agent making or materially influencing financial decisions.
4. Shadow AI is the #1 undetected risk — prioritize network-level API monitoring.
5. Update agent registry quarterly — AI agent proliferation is fast; stale inventories create blind spots.
6. Leverage Microsoft Purview for data classification feeding into agent governance policies.
7. Regulatory alignment: Check current CBIRC AI guidance, CFCA fintech guidelines, and the generative AI regulation framework when generating policies.
