Security and governance

Intelligent by design. Secure by default.

Zero Trust with Microsoft Entra, Defender, Purview and Sentinel, cloud security governance and AI security with Responsible AI.

The challenge

AI raises the stakes on identity, data protection and monitoring. Security has to cover users, devices, cloud workloads and now agents — with policies people can follow.

What you get

  • A Zero Trust baseline across identity, devices and data
  • Data protection that also governs AI
  • Monitoring with clear response playbooks
  • Responsible AI policy turned into controls

Reference topology

Zero Trust security reference topology

Users, devices, apps and infrastructure are protected by Entra ID, Intune, Purview and Defender for Cloud. Their signals are correlated in Defender XDR and Microsoft Sentinel; playbooks automate response, analysts investigate with Security Copilot, and audit evidence supports compliance.
