Find and fix the security risks hiding in your AI agents.

Your organization almost certainly has more AI agents running than your security team can name. Some were approved. Many weren't. Ascent's Agentic Security Assessment inventories every agent in your Microsoft 365 environment and hands you a risk score and a priced plan to close what it finds.

  • No cost to your organization
  • Three-week assessment, delivered fully remote
  • Built on tools you already own: Agent 365, Entra, Purview, Defender, MDR

See How the Assessment Works

AI agents are already running in your environment. The question is whether anyone's watching them.

Copilot Studio, Teams, and Agent 365 make it easy for anyone in the business to stand up an agent, and most organizations have more of them than leadership realizes. Many were built before any official rollout, without security review and without a clear owner.

That gap shows up in five specific ways: agents nobody approved running alongside the ones IT sanctioned; agents holding more access than the task in front of them; sign-in and authentication controls that haven't caught up to how agents actually get used; sensitive data surfacing in a Copilot response to someone who shouldn't see it; and, when an agent is compromised or misused, no clear signal that tells your team it happened.

None of this means your environment is unusually exposed. It means AI agent sprawl moves faster than most security programs were built to track, and the fastest way to find out where you stand is to look.

What this looks like inside your environment.

Scenario 01

A marketing team builds a Copilot Studio agent to draft customer emails, and gives it access to a shared drive that also holds contract and pricing data, because it was faster than scoping the permission down.

Scenario 02

A finance analyst sets up a local agent to summarize vendor invoices, and it sits outside every review process your security team runs, because nobody in security knew it existed.

Scenario 03

An agent built six months ago for a project that ended is still live, still holds its original access, and nobody has asked whether it should.

How the assessment works.

Week 1Week 2Week 3

Weeks 1–2 · Discovery

Every agent, mapped and scored

We inventory every AI agent in your environment (official, shadow, and local) using Microsoft Entra, Purview, Defender, and MDR alongside Agent 365 where available. Covers identity, access, data, and monitoring risk for each agent found.

Week 3 · Reporting & Remediation Plan

A plan you can act on immediately

We score the exposure risk for each agent, build an executive-level view of where you stand, and deliver a ranked, priced remediation plan with quick wins you can act on right away.

The assessment is remote start to finish. Your team answers a handful of scoping questions up front; we run the rest.

Everything the assessment covers.

Two weeks of discovery across every AI agent in your environment: official, shadow, and local.
One week to deliver a risk score and a ranked, priced remediation plan.
Coverage of identity, access, data, and monitoring risk for each agent.
Works at the E5 or E7 Microsoft license level.

What you'll walk away with.

A full inventory of every agent

Its owner, and what it can reach: a mapped view of your actual environment.

An executive exposure-risk dashboard

Built for a briefing with your CISO, board, or leadership team, not just your security engineers.

A risk score

A single, clear measure of where you stand today.

A ranked, priced remediation plan

Fixes in priority order, with cost attached so budget conversations start from real numbers.

Quick-win recommendations

The handful of fixes worth doing this week, separate from the longer-term plan.

A path forward

A recommended next step into ongoing managed monitoring or a broader security assessment.

Built for the people accountable for AI risk.

This assessment is built for CISOs, IT directors, and AI or automation leads evaluating Copilot or Agent 365, along with anyone accountable for what happens when an AI agent has access it shouldn't. If your team has asked “how many agents do we actually have running” and didn't have a confident answer, this is built for you.

Frequently asked questions.

Is this really complimentary, or is there a catch?
It's genuinely complimentary. No cost, no purchase required to start, no obligation to continue with Ascent afterward. You keep the full inventory, risk score, and remediation plan either way.
Is this a penetration test?
No. This is a discovery and exposure assessment, not an active penetration test. Ascent inventories and evaluates your existing AI agents using read-level access to Microsoft Entra, Purview, Defender, and MDR. It doesn't attempt to exploit anything.
Will this disrupt our security team or our environment?
No. The engagement is remote and runs alongside your team's normal workload. Beyond an initial scoping conversation, most of the work happens on Ascent's side using tools you already have connected.
What if we're on a different Microsoft license level than E5 or E7?
The assessment still runs. Coverage depth depends on which Microsoft security tools are already enabled in your tenant, and Ascent will scope the engagement to what's available and flag where a license change would close a gap.
What happens after the three weeks?
You walk away with the full inventory, risk score, and priced remediation plan regardless of what you decide next. Ascent will recommend a path forward, typically either ongoing managed monitoring or a broader security assessment, but there's no obligation to take it.
How is this different from what we already see in Defender or Purview?
Defender and Purview give you raw signal. This assessment correlates that signal around who built each agent, what it can touch, and how exposed it is, then turns that into a prioritized, priced plan your team can act on.
