Agentic AI platform by Microsoft

Azure AI Foundry

Building & governing agentic AI on Azure, ready for regulated enterprises.

01 What is it?

Microsoft's unified platform for building, evaluating, governing and operating generative AI applications and agents on Azure. Azure AI Foundry bundles a model catalog, agent orchestration, content safety, prompt shields, evaluations and the security primitives needed to ship AI agents into regulated enterprise environments.

02 Why implement it?

Single control plane for every AI workload across the Azure tenant
Native integration with Microsoft Entra, Defender for Cloud and Sentinel
Built-in content safety, prompt shield and groundedness evaluations
Regulatory alignment for EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001
Compresses time-to-production for AI agents from months to weeks

03 How I help

I lead Azure AI Foundry deployments end-to-end: landing-zone design, identity model on Microsoft Entra, agent guardrail and content-safety policy set, prompt shielding, observability, threat modelling, and the security review needed to clear Defender for Cloud benchmarks. I also coach internal teams on the secure operating model.

04 Expected deliverables

Reference architecture and landing-zone blueprint
Identity and entitlement model on Microsoft Entra
Agent guardrail and content-safety policy set
Threat model of the agent estate
Operating model, runbooks and on-call playbook
Security review pack aligned to internal compliance frameworks
