Updated May 29, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
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-MaySeptember 2026 (previously late-May) and expect to complete by end of September 2026 (previously late-June 2026June).
How this affects your organization
Who is affected
What will happen
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:
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. |
