[Introduction]
We’re introducing integration of the Microsoft Purview SDK into the Microsoft Agent Framework SDK to help organizations build secure, enterprise-ready AI agents. This integration enables developers to apply Microsoft Purview compliance and data protection capabilities directly within agent runtimes. It extends existing security and governance controls to custom-built AI agents across Microsoft 365 workloads.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 534609.
[When this will happen]
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in late-May 2026 and expect to complete by late-June 2026.
[How this affects your organization]
Who is affected
- Organizations building or planning to build AI agents using the Microsoft Agent Framework SDK
- Admins and developers responsible for security, compliance, and governance of custom AI agents
- Tenants with Microsoft Purview licenses that enable SDK usage
What will happen
- Developers can embed Microsoft Purview SDK controls directly into AI agent runtimes built with the Agent Framework SDK.
- AI agents can respect existing Microsoft Purview compliance configurations, such as data protection and policy enforcement, when accessing organizational data.
- There is no change to user experiences in Microsoft 365 services.
- The integration is not enabled automatically; it requires developer implementation within custom agents.
- Existing Microsoft Purview policies and configurations remain unchanged unless explicitly used by the agent.
[What you can do to prepare]
No immediate admin action is required if your organization is not developing AI agents.
If your organization builds AI agents:
- Share this update with your development and security teams.
- Review Microsoft Purview SDK documentation to understand supported compliance capabilities.
- Validate how existing Purview policies should be applied within agent workflows.
[Compliance considerations]
| Question | Answer |
| Does this change alter how existing customer data is processed, stored, or accessed? | Yes. When developers implement the Purview SDK, AI agents can access customer data under the governance of Microsoft Purview compliance policies, such as data protection and policy enforcement. |
| Does this change introduce or significantly modify AI or agent capabilities that interact with customer data? | Yes. The change enables custom AI agents built with the Agent Framework SDK to respect customer's Microsoft Purview compliance controls while interacting with the customer data. |
| Does this change alter how admins can monitor, report on, or demonstrate compliance? | Yes. When AI agents use the Purview SDK, compliance enforcement and related activities may be reflected through existing Microsoft Purview monitoring and reporting experiences. |
