Question 1

What is AI governance, and why do I need a platform for it?

Accepted Answer

AI governance means knowing which AI tools, agents, and models touch your company, controlling what data flows to and from them, and proving to auditors that you have it under control. Govern360 brings discovery, data protection in both directions, policy enforcement, security architecture review, behavioral risk scoring, and compliance evidence into one platform.

Question 2

What makes Govern360 different from other AI DLP tools?

Accepted Answer

Govern360 is not another inline DLP tool. It is a vendor-neutral AI control plane that orchestrates the enforcement tools you already own, including Microsoft Purview, Intune, SASE, and AI gateways. It governs discovery, policy, data protection, token usage, agent activity, and compliance evidence from one platform.

Question 3

How does Govern360 discover shadow AI?

Accepted Answer

Discovery combines SaaS and OAuth grant analysis, identity provider sign-in signals, SIEM telemetry, and for tenants who roll out the managed browser extension via Deploy, endpoint level visibility. Every detected tool is classified as sanctioned, under review, or shadow, with the users and risk level attached.

Question 4

What is the Govern360 AI Exposure Score?

Accepted Answer

The Govern360 AI Exposure Score™ is a single 0–100 executive KPI that measures how well-governed your AI estate is across Discovery, Governance, Protection, Control, and Compliance. Every point is explainable and traceable to specific findings, so the score becomes a prioritized action plan — not a black box.

Question 5

How does Architecture Review work?

Accepted Answer

For each AI system in your inventory, Architecture Review scores the security architecture across eight domains, mapped to NIST AI RMF, OWASP LLM Top 10, and MITRE ATLAS. The framework score is deterministic, and an AI generated expert review walks through the gaps and recommended fixes.

Question 6

Can Govern360 detect risky user or session behavior?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Behavioral Risk baselines normal AI usage for each user and peer group, then anomaly scores sessions in real time. The riskiest AI sessions and users are surfaced and high risk findings are wired into Incidents and Architecture Review.

Question 7

Can I stream Govern360 events to my SIEM?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SIEM streaming delivers every governance event including detections, policy actions, posture changes, and incidents to Splunk, Datadog, Microsoft Sentinel, and other SIEMs.

Question 8

Where does Govern360 see sensitive data, and does it need agents?

Accepted Answer

For Microsoft 365 environments, Data Posture pulls classifications from Microsoft Purview via the Graph API across SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, and Teams, with no agents required. Labels for PII, credit cards, SSNs, secrets, and source code are mapped to the same detector vocabulary used by enforcement, and a data to AI exposure view shows which classified data is being prompted into which AI tools. API-only covers cloud data at rest. Data flowing into an AI tool from the browser is covered by the Govern360 browser extension built into Deploy.

Question 9

How does Token Governance work?

Accepted Answer

Govern360 ingests token telemetry from AI applications, AI gateways, and provider monitoring (Azure OpenAI diagnostics, OpenAI usage, Bedrock CloudWatch). Events are normalized into one schema, attributed to user, team, app, agent, and model, then evaluated against policies including quotas, budgets, model restrictions, and anomaly thresholds. Enforcement happens through the gateway or provider already in place: alert, throttle, block, downgrade to a cheaper model, or require approval. Govern360 does not proxy model calls.

Question 10

What is the Agent Action Control Plane?

Accepted Answer

The Agent Action Control Plane treats every AI agent as a first-class identity in the registry, enforces per-agent token budgets under the same phased modes used for human users, and attributes consumption across agent-to-agent delegation chains so the budget enforces at any node in the tree. Tool calls made via the Model Context Protocol or MCP are captured and governed alongside direct model calls, as a single unit.

Question 11

Why call yourselves a control plane instead of an AI firewall?

Accepted Answer

An AI firewall sits inline in the request path so every prompt and response flows through it. That adds another chokepoint, point of failure, and vendor. Govern360 sits one layer above your enforcement tools and compiles policy into their native configuration (Microsoft Purview specifications, Intune profiles, SASE rules, AI gateway policies). The tools you already operate enforce. Govern360 directs and produces the evidence.

Question 12

What is patent-protected in Govern360?

Accepted Answer

Govern360 has filed six U.S. patent applications covering the core architecture: automated enforcement plan generation that compiles policy intent into native config for multiple enforcement planes; verified governance execution with a formal Compiled to Marked applied to Verified state machine; multi-platform governance orchestration mapping a single policy intent simultaneously across Purview, Intune, SASE, and AI gateways; and runtime AI cost and usage governance covering provider agnostic token telemetry, per-agent budgets, and agent-to-agent delegation chain attribution; non-human identity privilege governance that compiles least-privilege configuration for AI agents across the identity planes you already run; and MCP tool-call governance with signed tool-manifest pinning. Pending applications do not grant exclusive rights until issued.

Question 13

Can Govern360 govern Microsoft 365 Copilot?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Microsoft 365 Copilot runs server-side inside your tenant where a browser extension cannot reach it. Govern360 compiles each group-scoped policy into a Microsoft Purview specification covering Sensitive Information Types (including custom SITs where needed), a recommended sensitivity label that gates Copilot, the DLP-for-Copilot action, and a step-by-step Purview portal runbook. You apply it in Purview, and Microsoft enforces it on Copilot. Microsoft does not expose a REST API to create Purview DLP policies, so Govern360 compiles the spec and runbook and your admin applies it.

Question 14

How does Govern360 enforce policy on endpoints?

Accepted Answer

Deploy rolls out a managed browser extension via Microsoft Entra or Intune, with more managed device paths on the roadmap. The extension applies Data Shield and Response Scan inline in the browser. Govern360 still works without it for tenants who want to start with read only network and SaaS based discovery.

Question 15

How does Govern360 assess AI vendors?

Accepted Answer

Vendor risk runs assessments against each AI vendor in your inventory, covering data retention, training on customer data, residency, certifications such as SOC 2 and ISO, and contractual terms. Each vendor gets a rating and flagged vendors are surfaced for action.

Question 16

Can employees request access to AI tools?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Govern360 gives users a path to request the AI tools they need. A request lands in an admin approval queue where an admin approves or denies with a reason. Approving a tool auto-sanctions it in the inventory, and every request and decision is written to the same immutable audit trail as policy enforcement, so AI adoption is governed rather than only blocked.

Question 17

Which compliance frameworks does Govern360 support?

Accepted Answer

Continuous evidence is mapped to the EU AI Act, ISO IEC 42001, SOC 2 Type II, NIST AI RMF, HIPAA, and GDPR. Each failing control links directly to the finding or policy that satisfies it, and you can export audit ready reports on demand or stream evidence to GRC platforms like Vanta.

Question 18

Does Govern360 store my prompts or responses?

Accepted Answer

No. Data Shield and Response Scan evaluate prompts and AI responses in line and retain decisions and metadata, not the raw content. You choose which detectors block, redact, warn, or flag for review. Your data is never used to train a model.

Question 19

How long does it take to get value?

Accepted Answer

Read only connection takes about five minutes per integration with no agents and no static keys. Your first AI inventory and risk surface appear within hours, and you can turn on policy packs and Data Shield detectors the same day. Architecture Review, Behavioral Risk, and SIEM streaming light up as you bring in more data.

Question 20

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can start a free 14 day trial with no credit card. Connection is read-only and takes about five minutes per integration, so you can see your first AI inventory and risk surface within hours.
