Tenant evidence can identify AI-related applications, publishers, consent context, permission scopes, and accountable owners when those fields are available. It cannot prove prompts, content, actual employee behavior, or vendor-side billing.

What the tenant can show

Application inventory and consent metadata can identify AI-related services, publishers, scopes, and organizational approval context when available.

What it cannot show

Those records do not prove prompts, files submitted to a vendor, employee intent, actual feature usage, or what a provider stores outside Microsoft 365.

Create governance from evidence

Assign an owner, approved purpose, allowed data classification, permission boundary, review date, and disposition to each AI-related application.

Put it to work

Create an AI application register with owner, purpose, consent type, permissions, review date, and disposition.

Next step: Create an AI application register with owner, purpose, consent type, permissions, review date, and disposition.
