AI governance for the Microsoft ecosystem.

Copilot pilots, Azure OpenAI projects, Power Platform agents, Teams-based automations: Microsoft makes AI easy to start and hard to keep track of. Governara is the portfolio layer that gives every AI initiative an owner, a risk assessment, an approval and an audit trail.

Why Microsoft-first organizations need an AI governance layer

Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Copilot Studio and Power Platform put AI in the hands of every business unit. That is the point — and the governance problem. Initiatives start in a Teams thread, a Power Automate flow or a departmental Azure subscription, and nobody holds the complete list.

Shadow AI at scale

Citizen developers can ship a Copilot Studio agent in an afternoon. Without a registry, leadership cannot say how many exist, who owns them or which data they touch.

Tenant controls are not portfolio governance

Admin centers and security tooling control access, data and policy. They do not decide which use cases deserve funding, who approved them or whether they were assessed against the EU AI Act.

Duplicate effort across business units

Two teams build the same Copilot workflow six months apart because neither knew the other existed.

How Governara fits a Microsoft environment

Governara does not replace your Microsoft security and compliance stack. It sits above it as the system of record for the AI portfolio.

Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on

Sign in with the identity provider you already run (Microsoft Entra ID, formerly Azure AD). Your existing identity and access controls apply from day one.

One record per AI use case

Whether it is a Microsoft 365 Copilot rollout, an Azure OpenAI chatbot or a custom model, each initiative follows the same lifecycle from draft to deployed.

Consistent risk and regulatory review

Every use case passes a configurable risk assessment and a regulations assessment — including EU AI Act classification — before it is prioritized.

Unlimited read-only stakeholders

CIOs, CISOs, DPOs and business sponsors get live visibility without being priced out of a seat.

Built for the people who own AI in a Microsoft shop

CIO & IT leadership

A number you trust for "how many AI projects do we have?" across Copilot, Azure and Power Platform.

CISO & DPO

Every initiative's risk posture and regulatory status recorded before it reaches production.

AI CoE & PMO

A single governed pipeline instead of spreadsheets, SharePoint lists and slide decks.

Frequently asked questions

What is AI governance in a Microsoft ecosystem?

It is the set of roles, processes and records that decide which AI initiatives — Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure OpenAI, Copilot Studio agents, Power Platform solutions, custom models — are approved, how their risk is assessed, who owns them and how they are tracked from idea to production.

Does Governara replace Microsoft Purview or Defender?

No. Microsoft security and compliance tools protect data, identities and endpoints. Governara governs the AI portfolio itself: intake, assessment, prioritization, approval and audit trail for each AI use case.

Does Governara support Microsoft Entra ID?

Yes. Governara supports single sign-on with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), so your organization's identity and access controls apply from day one.

Can we govern Copilot and Copilot Studio initiatives?

Yes. Each Copilot rollout, Copilot Studio agent or Azure AI project is registered as a use case and moves through the same assessment and approval workflow.
