Why you should care
Board
Agents change operating risk. Ask for registry coverage and owner accountability first.
CISO
Treat agents as privileged actors: least privilege, owner, lifecycle, and audit before scale.
CFO
Map licence or consumption impact to the frozen value case; avoid seat spray.
Adoption
Pilot with a named cohort and measure changed work, not vanity clicks.
Suggested action
Wave 0 first: Security → GRC → Cost & Value → Licence → Adoption. Put this on the agent register with a named owner. Do not enable broadly until permissions, DLP, and reclaim rules exist.

Communication needed
- Security: Assess exposure, Conditional Access, and agent/tool permissions.
- GRC: Update AI/agent register and evidence path; confirm DPIA triggers if personal data is in scope.
- FinOps: Forecast seat or credit impact; align to frozen value case.
- Adoption: Plan cohort messaging, clinics, and success measures.
- Comms: One story for board and staff — what changes, what does not, who owns risk.
Benefits
- May improve productivity on a specific Microsoft 365 surface when permissions and data quality allow.
- Roadmap visibility helps Horizon planning without guessing dates.
- Agents can automate multi-step work inside existing Microsoft 365 permissions.
Risks
- Status and dates change; treat MRC as directional, not a contract.
- Enabling without Steady controls can amplify overshare or cost leakage.
- Agents act; over-privilege and ownerless agents create lasting exposure.
